Discover the gods of gaming

Game Masters features over 100 playable games from some of the world's most influential video game designers – including Peter Molyneux, Warren Spector, Tim Schafer, and Hideo Kojima.

Play your way through 40 years of gaming history over three spectacular interactive zones.

Arcade Heroes features the arcade classics of the 1970s and 80s, Game Changers showcases the ground-breaking creations of gaming’s superstars, and Indies is dedicated to the independent developers leading the way in game play and aesthetics.

You’ll see rare original artwork, watch revealing interviews, and play on original arcade machines, sourced from collectors around the world and restored to their former glory.
