One of my favorite, yet relatively unknown museums in the area, The Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, Queens, just opened up an exhibition today featuring 14 classic video games in their original arcade version. The games - which range from Nintendo favorite Donkey Kong to classics like Ms. Pac-Man and Space Inavders - are on rotating display and available for play in the musuem's "Interacting with the Screen" section. Aspiring gamers can get 4 tokens for a mere $1 in order to play the games and there will be daily talks by educators about early video game technology. The exhibit is opened until October 1st, so if there is a day where you're feeling like you need to channel your inner kid or you're feeling nostalgic for your childhood, this exhibit should be a nice trip down memory lane. Chomp away, Pac-Man fans.
