Game Masters Exhibition

Featuring 125+ playable games, Game Masters celebrates the world’s most influential game designers, including Peter Molyneux, Warren Spector and Tim Schafer.

From the website:

Across arcades, consoles, PC and mobile platforms, the exhibition showcases the work of over 30 videogame designers, from Nintendo’s iconic character-led worlds featuring Mario and Link, to the deeply immersive stealth combat of Hideo Kojima’s METAL GEAR SOLID and the atmospheric, emotional narratives of Flower and journey by thatgamecompany.

Game Masters offers the rare opportunity to play Yu Suzuki’s arcade games from the 1980s, Hang-On and Out Run; take the physical challenge of a dance battle in Alex Rigopulos and Eran Egozy’s Dance Central 2; test yourself in a four-player version of Firemint’s Real Racing 2; and be immersed in a special 3D display of Tetsuya Mizuguchi’s Child of Eden.

Featuring rare concept artwork, revealing interviews and large-scale interactive displays, Game Masters showcases the radically varied approach each of these designers brings to the creation of videogames.

Explore the world of games beyond the screen through this series of dynamic workshops, panels, forums and late night entertainment.

Presented in conjunction with the Game Masters exhibition, these engaging events offer a unique opportunity to connect with the masters of the games industry, alongside industry specialists, musicians, artists and academics.
