CV @ the Art of Video Games exhibit

[Zwackery]

Took some of my students there and they loved the exhibit - too bad they couldn't play CV there, but I'll let them play with mine.

I see Chicago is not in the list. Did they find out that if they came here NIAD and I would confiscate it? :evil:

[Zwackery]

I believe that many of the consoles actually personally belong to Melissinos as he was lamenting about how much he missed playing them.

Is there anything to see in this exhibit for collectors, given that a lot of collectors have a museum for a collection?

[NIAD]

Yeah, that CV exhibit would look very nice in my basement, but it still pails in comparison to the CV Store Kiosk.

Thanks for the details Zwackery. I guess I could have Googled. Do the panels of the different games appear to be screen painted on glass?

I think diehard collectors will probably not be impressed, but for the general public that has a more disposable attitude to games, I think it is somewhat illuminating for them to see these presented for "serious" consideration.

I don't think they are painted on glass but done on high quality transparencies (plastic).

Actually, they are printed on plexi. Very accurate color, etc. Museum quality of course

I visited this while it was in Toledo. Very well done. Seasoned collectors pretty much have everything shown in the museum but I can see how it would be great nostalgia for the masses. I still had fun visiting even though it wasn't too much different than going into my collection room. ?
