Life Science Centre is hosting a huge video game exhibition this weekend.
Game On 2.0 celebrates 50 years of video games. Visitors will be able to try out more than 150 games at the event on Saturday, May 25.
Linda Conlon, Chief Executive of Life, said: "Game On 2.0 is one of the most popular exhibitions ever held at Life and we’re excited to bring it back to help inspire the next generation of developers in the region. The video game industry is fast-changing, so new games have been added to the exhibition, making this reboot even better than its previous incarnation."
Visitors will be able to explore the history, culture and future of gaming, including how virtual reality is creating ever-more immersive gaming experiences.
Neil McConnon, Head of Barbican International Enterprises, which has organised and is touring the Game On 2.0 exhibition, said: “Gaming has been a vital ingredient in the North East’s culture and industry since Pong and Space Invaders first arrived in the UK. We are very pleased to bring the updated Game On 2.0 exhibition back to Life Science Centre and share the history and future of gaming with generations of fans, new and old."
