Post Posted: Fri Mar 16, 2012 4:14 am — Post subject: Art of Video Games Exhibit Opens

Shorah.

Some Myst-related news, and gaming in general. Today, March 16th is the opening day for the exhibit the 'Art of Video Games' in the American Art Museum, which will last until the 30th of September. This exhibit is intended to explore the forty year old medium, and the eras that went along with it. The exhibit focuses on things like storytelling and interplay of graphics, with twenty gaming systems are represented. Public vote selected the winning eighty games, which you can find here.
Five eras of game development are featured. In all of these, a game that set future standards and offered a interactive experience in regards to the player to the world, was chosen, excluded from vote, and will feature limited available gameplay at the exhibit. These are Pac-Man, Super Mario Brothers, The Secret of Monkey Island, Myst, and Flower.

Too bad I won't be going to the Washington area anytime soon, but that'll be a must-stop destination if ever I do!

Worst case scenario the exhibit is travelling to several museums across the US so maybe it will come to you! Very Happy

Glad to see such a renowned institute as the Smithsonian putting forth the good effort to get this out to people nationwide! Video games have grown in leaps and bounds as a cultural art from and it's great that they're getting the recognition they deserve! If this doesn't come to my area I'll be looking for it in the next closest area!
