    "Tomorrow through September 5, Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry is offering an exhibit tracing the evolution of games. The exhibit is titled Game On: The History, Culture, and Future of Video Games, and it was organized by London's Barbican Art Gallery, in collaboration with the National Museums of Scotland. The show gives visitors the chance to play 100 different games, from the virtually prehistoric Pong to present-day offerings."

    I saw it in Edinburgh and it was good...would definitely recommend it....would love to have seen something 2 or 3 times the size tho.....just wasn't enough(my expectations are too high=unrealistic probably), although there's plenty to do for 1-2 hours (I didnt' read everything tho). Would go again.

    A big guy, or a skinny guy with red hair?

    They supplied cabs I believe, but I'm not sure how large their involvement was. I believe Andy said it was quite major... but I don't always listen to everything he says ;)

    I saw it in London as well, was quir good, but could have had more interaction other than just having a bash on a "few" games.
