We played old skool arcade games like Pong, Donkey Kong Jr, Space Invaders, Breakout and Mortal Kombat. Dj's Master Fader and The Snail spun some appropriate tunes, and if you couldn't beat your opponent at Mortal Kombat, you could always try to out-dance them on Dance Dance Revolution. A heated hodgepodge of fun, competition, frustration and pictures of naked women.

Arcade opening, december 18th-

Arcade is an expanding collection of old and new games and technologies. We kicked off with a collection of rare vintage arcade video games and Mediamatic's ikInstallations. December 18th 2010, Mediamatic Bank.

Level 2: Arcade

Arcade is about the history of gaming culture. We successively completed Level 1 in November 2010. Seven new interactive gaming installations were made during the Dev Camp, and presented at Sensor Fest. Level 2 is all about video arcade machines and was opened on Saturday December 18, at Mediamatic Bank. Come by anytime before March 27th 2011 to have a go at the games yourself. As for now: the pictures.

Thanks to

Bonami, Jamma the Hutt, 8 Sneakers, Arcadia Amusements, Alexander Krone and Philip Fokker

Januari - Maart: Mediamatic deed bijna 4 maanden dienst als Arcade speelhal. De verzameling oude en nieuwe games bestond uit interactieve installaties, arcade videospellen, computerspellen en handhelds. Arcade is een groeiende verzameling oude en nieuwe games, bestaande uit 5 levels. De verzameling bestond onder andere uit twee gloednieuwe games, die voor het eerst bij Mediamatic te spelen waren. Er waren vintage spelcomputers van Atari, Commodore en Sega, maar ook nieuwe consoles als de Xbox Kinect en Playstation 3, 3D.
