My eldest daughter has reported that the following exhibition is currently in Brisbane, Australia, at the State Library (Southbank) until February 09.

Game On

She also reports that she will be taking her younger sister to try out the Space Invaders cocktail table game at my insistence.

Look at the title of some of those games - Frogger, Dig Dug, 1942, Galaxian I remember playing after school in

about 1978 at a local Fish 'n' Chip shop that still served milkshakes in the steel can, Coke with a bottle top and Chiko rolls for about 50 cents.

"Chiko beats the others single handed."

(If you're not AU, just nod your head in astonishment)
