Meant to be great.

Am somewhat saddened that they chose to do this though:

Doesn't really do much for gaming's image.

Yeah, that's really shit. Our Georgia looks terrible in those photos too.

I went to this when it was in London a couple of years ago. It was deadly - lots of hands-on time with old arcade games in free-play mode. Also got my first go of Steel Battalion with the ridiculous controller. Plus, there are lots of awesome little things for the nerd in your life to see. I can die happier knowing I've handled an actual copy of E.T. for the Atari 2600.

Do they have Gorf?

I have to be honest, I don't really remember if it was at the one in London. According to this list though, it's definitely part of the new exhibition.

I first went to this in the barbican on the day Ireland got knocked out of the 2002 world cup. True story.
