I’ll be appearing as part of a panel on video game collecting called the Game Collectors Roadshow as part of the Game Masters exhibition at ACMI on the 9th of September.
The panel will be hosted by Adrian Franklin of the ABC show The Collectors and will feature myself and two other collectors showcasing some of our prize possessions and discussing the hobby of collecting old video games.
The second part of the show is an Antiques Roadshow-inspired bit where you can bring along your gaming items and have them appraised by us and get a bit of an explanation about their place in video gaming history. Bringing an item along will get you an entry in the draw to win a PlayStation Vita.
Finally, there will be a chiptune performance from Melbourne based artists Dot.AY and Derris-Khalan.
The event starts at 11, and entry is free.
Hope it all went well Matt! Didn’t get a chance to check it out but sounded pretty cool. Many there? What was the best item?
I went and it was really good!
