"I was able to meet a ton of awesome people who shared the same excitement for this sequel I hold so dearly to my heart and our fun does not end at launch! Our staff has come up with fun events through the week celebrating both the Nintendo 3DS Launch two years ago as well as social meet ups for the new Luigi game for all to enjoy in the following weeks!"

From a super crazy launch in New York to the first StreetPass NYC meet up, to the Nintendo 3DS is doomed; FAST FORWARD to past the launch of the Wii U and the launch of Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. Can anyone believe that it's been TWO YEARS since our favorite handheld has come out?

To celebrate, we plan on having a mini-meet up inside the Best Buy at Union Square where hosted the official Nintendo 3DS North American launch. We plan on hanging near the demo unit upstairs, allowing us access to Nintendo Zone and a Internet Connection.




Nothing crazy. Just to meet up, StreetPass, play games, share crazy stories about the launch of the unit (our Founder can put Cranky Kong to shame in that department) and reflect on what was a crazy year...and to prepare for our upcoming One Year Anniversary.

Love sucking up ghosts, finding Boos, checking all the furniture and overall scaring our poor green friend in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon for the Nintendo 3DS? We love to play with others online, but we feel that with such a spooky game is better to experience up close and person.

So welcome to ScareScraper Saturday! Every other week (we will skip Saturdays if date/time conflict arises) we will be checking out the most spookiest, haunted places all over New York City.

Our first ScareScraper Saturday (we had to move it from Sunday to not conflict with Easter) will be at the infamous Fire Station that was used in Tribeca for the HQ of the Ghostbusters in the movie of the same name. We will meet up to have a small tournament for the multiplayer. You do not even needs the game, just a fully charged Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo 3DS XL!

Possible prizes will be detailed at a later date. More info coming soon...

Spacewar! Video Games Blast Off looks at the first 50 years of video games through the lens of Spacewar!, the first digital video game, its development, and the culture from which it sprang. In addition to a model of the original PDP-1 (Programmed Data Processor-1) computer running a playable simulation of Spacewar!, the exhibition presents 20 playable video games ranging in platform (arcade, console, handheld, PC), genre (shooters, platformers, action, arcade) and developer (commercial, independent, experimental). From Computer Space to Portal, the exhibition draws connections and contrasts between these games and Spacewar!, signaling the latter’s central place in the development of video games as a cultural form.

Each paid visitor will receive four complimentary arcade tokens (maximum ten per party). Additional tokens may be purchased in the gallery. Recommended for ages 8+.

Spacewar! was created by a group of students and researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1961, conceived of as a demonstration for the new Digital Equipment Corporation PDP-1 computer. The game premiered at the 1962 Science Open House at MIT, and was later shared and modified at computer labs around the United States. This “computer toy” influenced untold technological advances and gave rise to the cultural phenomenon now known as video games. Among other things, Spacewar! set the template for the game development industry and its relationship to technology, established shooting as a core game mechanic, and inspired space and science fiction themes for future games. 


 

This exhibition was organized by guest curator John Sharp.
