The first dedicated exhibition celebrating the birth and growth of the videogames industry, Game On, has found its way to Queensland this summer, debuting at the State Library of Queensland in Brisbane.
Game On tracks the development of videogames from the earliest computer games to arcade-era hits and the very latest from today’s billion-dollar industry. With more than 100 playable games, as well as rarely seen consoles, controllers and collectables, this is a showcase of games history like no other.
You'll be able to check out the exhibition from November 17 through till February 15, 2009. More information can be found from the official Game On website.

Caught this while I was in Melbourne. Pretty fun way to spend a couple of hours. Some of the old arcade cabs they had there were pretty awesome.

Just got back - was hardly anyone there so we pretty much had free reign over the place. Some really fun stuff there - didn't realise it was actually two levels until we had spent a good 2-3 hours downstairs. The nice lady at the ticket office put us through for student prices as well. I got some photos - if anyone is interested I'll put them up somewhere.

You can play all of the games there.

It's more like a giant timezone with minimal things you can't actually play or touch.

I'd say you are looking at 100-150 playable games.

Some photos can be found here - http://www.flickr.com/photos/26602313@N07/. Unfortunately I didn't take any photos of the upper level, which is more focussed on the modern-day consoles. And you can play all the games for as much as you want all day for the ticket price.
