Attention gamers and other video game enthusiasts... The city of Versailles is hosting an exhibition at theAncienne Poste, Game Story, from October 19, 2024 to April 25, 2025. Presented by the City of Versailles and theMO5 association, this exhibition explores 70 years of video game history, from its beginnings on consoles and microcomputers to the latest innovations in virtual reality. A not-to-be-missed opportunity to rediscover the evolution of this medium through a hundred playable machines and nearly 500 cult games.
Game Story takes visitors on a journey through the ages, from iconic early games such as 1958's Tennis For Two and Pong on arcade terminals, to the first consoles from legendary brands such as Atari, Nintendo and SEGA. The greatest international creators are honored with a selection of flagship works, including Prince of Persia on Apple II, renowned for its revolutionary animations, and Streets of Rage 4, the latest opus in the famous street-fighting saga, published by France's Dotemu and acclaimed worldwide.
But the experience doesn't stop there! Interactive workshops led by volunteers from theMO5 association will enable you to see demonstrations of retro console repair, and even have your own historic machines serviced. A store dedicated to videogame culture will also give you the opportunity to take home a souvenir of this exhibition, a true tribute to half a century of digital creation. A not-to-be-missed experience for all video game enthusiasts!
