Come join us for an exciting interactive exhibit that remembers and reflects on the evolution of video games and the arcades they lived in.
The Arcade Age explores the short history of video arcade games through exhibitry and game play, just as they were intended to be experienced- in an arcade! From December 12th –April 3rd 2016 the Cradle of Aviation will transform a section of its galleries into an arcade complete with unforgettable favorites like Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, Space Invaders, Centipede, Donkey Kong and more.
Not only will there be pay to play sessions of the arcade classics, the museum will also feature an exhibit telling the story of video arcade games; from the birth in the early 40’s and 50’s, to its crash, revival and ultimate decline in the 90’s.
It is a story of the creative and innovative people who explored groundbreaking technologies, the games that sprung from those ingenuities and a culture that was shaped by their developments.
