Well video games have come a long way and if you happen to be near the London’s Science Museum you can actually witness the evolution of video games first hand. There is an exhibit here called ‘Game On’ which chronicles the voyage from the original video game ‘Space War!’, designed by Steve Russel and some buddies at MIT in 1962, to our current era. The exhibit is sponsored by Nintendo and is available to the public now until February 25, 2007. Wish I could check it out first hand, if anyone knows more let me know, I would love to see something like this in the US.
