Game On Exhibit At Chicago Science And Industry Museum 16
If you have the chance to make it to the Windy City in the near future, the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry is playing host to the exhibit entitled "Game On". The playable gaming extravaganza will run through September of this year, and covers almost the entire history of video games. From the article: "Visitors to Game On will be able to play more than 100 games that illustrate how far games have come both artistically and technically, and see how the video game phenomenon has influenced aspects of popular culture around the world."

The link Coralized [nyud.net] works fine. There was no specific mention of ADVENT or rogue in the article, however.

I visited Game On in London in 2002 and in Edinburgh 2003. It is a nice tour of video gaming from it's beginning to today. The Edinburgh exihibit was updated with some new games, so the current exhibition probably has been updated too.
There are a lot of games to play, but the older ones are usually played on emulators. There are also a hand held section with some early hand held electronic games.
If you're into gaming, especially retro gaming, this exhibition will not offer anything new, but it is fun to walk from game to game, playing a little bit here and there.
(Note. I speak for the exhibits in London and Edinburgh, but they were quite similar so I guess this one is a lot like those.)
