I wish this Exhibit allowed a more *hands on* experience. The are younger generations viewing the more modern game wishing to play them... I don't think they are getting a full on experience.

Videogames are art since the day they were born to express something and not just let people do something better than scratching... same as movies. It scares how nowadays, though, people underestimate the power of audiovisual (and now interactive) arts. If the Bible, a book, call it whatever you want, can make people do unbelievable things, start and end wars... imagine the equivalent in the form of something more of your senses can decrypt. There's so much to explore yet in audiovisual arts and today, thanks to videogames, we know that us, as humans, partial population of the universe, are just taking our firts steps as artistic beings.
