A large basement space in the Science Museum now echoes to the sounds of Space Invaders to Mario Kart as the whole space has been filled with arcade and computer games.

    Whoa that’s awesome. If it’s not immediately clear from the title, this is the Science Museum in London. If you’ve ever in London, I’d highly recommend it - loads to see (including an IMAX). This arcade looks huge and I love how they’ve split it into different eras and genres.

    It’s cool that they’re doing something like this, but if it’s for a museum, then something is lost by using LCDs instead of old tube televisions for games released prior to a certain year.

    Sure they could add scanlines to emulate it, but it’s not quite the same. Plus the input latency is a problem.
