In England, London, the Science Museum will display more than 120 games. “Game On” will be open to visitors from October 21st to February 25th. You’ll be able to play games dating as far back as 1962.
Video game art can also be seen. Drawings by Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of the character Mario from Super Mario Bros, will be on display.
Among the video games visitors can play will be Space War, the world’s first computer game, from 1962.
Gaetan Lee, programmes developer at the Science Museum, said he was “particularly excited” that visitors would get a chance to see PDP-1, the computer that ran Space War.
“Nowhere else will people be able to see the entire history of the games industry laid out, explained and ready to play,” he told the BBC.
