The Municipal Institute of Culture "Joaquín Chapaprieta" informs of the arrival of the Arcade Museum in Torrevieja, with the exhibition "50 years of Digital Leisure-History of the Video Game", which will open its doors this Wednesday, July 27 until September 30, in the Vista Alegre de Torrevieja exhibition hall, located at c/ Concepción, 2.
In the last 50 years, humanity has known a new way of playing.
Since Ralph H. Baer, called the father of video games, created Magnavox Odyssey in 1972, through countless electronic games that have become classic icons of pop culture, and until the mid-90s, video games have always they have been a socializing element; from arcades to games with family and friends on our consoles and microcomputers.
To understand today's world, where digital entertainment is one of the main
industries, it is important to know the milestones that have brought us to the great boom that we are experiencing today.
In this exhibition, we will not only learn about the history from the first video games, but we will also enjoy them first-hand, just as it could be done in previous decades and as it can still be done at the Vintage Arcade Museum.
It's time to learn while playing! And, as Albert Einstein said “Games are the highest form of research”.
