oh they had HEAPS of things. one cool part was the Hand held gaming devices. They pretty much had everyone you could think of. All the Nintendo devices, from Gameboys to the DS Lite's. the old sega ones, and atari ones. man they were massive. No photography was aloud at the exhibition, we were lucky to get this picture with my iphone.

and the awesome thing was, ALL the games they had on display you could play them!!! ALL the old street figher games. HEAPS of NES and SNES games around. ORIGINAL LEGEN OF MONKEY ISLAND!!

If this exhibition comes anywhere near you guys, i HIGHLY suggest you go, Luckily it's in my home city, so i'm going to go back, it's hear until July which is awesome. and it only costs $15 to get in!

Did you see either a: 1) Sega Nomad or 2) 3D0? If so, this exhibition is class.

Also, you mentioned Street Fighter (I assume 2 was there). Multiplayer? Epic tournaments? And Legend of Monkey Island is brilliant. Go SCUMM games!!

It has the appropriate heavenly glow emanating from the display. The same type of glow that we saw come from the Lost Arc of the Covenant in "Raider of the Lost Arc"

yes it did, the sole reason of this photo was to get the impression that this was the machine that would eventually start my love affair with apple in many years to come.

Actually i think we had an Apple II back in the day, one that had a 5 1/2 floppy drive in it too, with a black and green monitor and used to play text based games with it, was awesome. i can't exactly remember the exact model number we had for the Apple II but it was awesome back then
