Arcade Age Exhibit
Open Friday, Sept. 27 through Sunday, Jan. 5 Central Commons
The Arcade Age Exhibit masterfully restores the best and more historically important arcade cabinets to their original glory. Presented by the Cradle of Aviation and LI Retro, this groundbreaking and critically-acclaimed arcade exhibit explores the history and culture of arcade gaming. The exhibit tells the story of video arcade games; from the pioneers in the early ‘40s and ’50s to the golden age in the late ‘70s and early ’80s to its crash, revival and ultimate decline in the ‘90s.
Plus visitors can come play 12 games for free throughout the Library, including unforgettable favorites like Q*bert, Street Fighter 2 and Joust. Available during regular Library hours
