Not that different from the Barbican version a few years ago. Also, if you’re as much of a nerd as i am, you’ll probably have played everything on your emulator recently. It’s still well worth it - just to see all those machines in one room, kinda like an arcade for your whole life (wow). Personal highlight was the 1981 table top Caveman (above), but just because I used to have one. It was well busy on Saturday, so it’s probably best to go during the week and the icecream from the van outside is awesome.
