Get your Game On

The Taideomuseo Tennispalatsi has a new exhibit opening on Thursday, Game On: The History, Culture and Future of Video Games., which covers the past 40 years of video game culture. I've never quite outgrown my arcade phase and still think of ZaXXon rather wistfully whenever I play one of the far more elaborate new games of today.

There are a number of books that try to cash in on the nostalgia of the kids who grew up in the 70s with the advent of arcade games but the only one worth reading is The First Quarter: A 25-year History of Video Games.
