Come and play your way through the history of video games! Melbourne's must-see exhibition of 2008 is Game On, an action-packed celebration of games culture that has thrilled over one million players of all ages from around the world. Game On tracks the development of video games from the first computer game to arcade-era hits and the very latest from today's billion dollar industry.

Over 125 playable games are featured from the 1960s to now, as well as rarely seen consoles, controllers, arcade machines, packaging and collectables. Illustrators by Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto and concept sketches behind classics such as Tomb Raider and Grand Theft Auto provide unique insights into the creative process of game development. The Exhibition also features the best of Australian-designed games.

Originally curated by Conrad Bodman, Head of Exhibition Programs, ACMI and Lucien King for the Barbican Art Gallery, London, Game On is presented exclusively in Australia at ACMI.
