A lof of detailed panels were also created relating the history of computing, videogames, grahical user interfaces, etc. </p> <p>To avoid normal hardware expositions which tends to be boring, the emphasys was made on the visual and audio aspect . We wanted the visitor to be immerged into a complete retro experience, including hearing, seeing, touching and testing.</p> <p>The result was apparently quite a success as most visitors we talked to were quite impressed by their visit.</p> <p>Here are some pictures so you can virtualy visit the exposition, as well as some videos :</p> <p>- <a href="/media/magazine/articles/18/video1.avi">Video 1</a> (entrance + pongs + atari 2600)<br/> - <a href="/media/magazine/articles/18/video2.avi">Video 2</a> (Videopacs + Commodore PET + Tandy TRS-80 + Virtual Boy + Game&Watch) <br/> - <a href="/media/magazine/articles/18/video3.avi">Video 3</a> (Game&watch + Table Tops + Mattel Autorace + Atari 7800 + Apple IIe + Sinclair computers + Commodore 64) <br/> - <a href="/media/magazine/articles/18/video4.avi">Video 4</a> (Commodore 64 + Intellivision + Vectrex + old adverts frieze + commercials video) <br/> - <a href="/media/magazine/articles/18/video5.avi">Video 5</a> (MSX + Amstrad CPC-464 + Colecovision + history panels + Oric + Laser 50 + MO5 + Homebrew ZX-81) <br/> - <a href="/media/magazine/articles/18/video6.avi">Video 6</a> (old adverts frieze + Amstrad PPC + Sega & Nintendo consoles + IBM PC) <br/> - <a href="/media/magazine/articles/18/video7.avi">Video 7</a> (old adverts + pocket systems window display + Atari Jaguar + Atari 1040 STE) <br/> - <a href="/media/magazine/articles/18/video8.avi">Video 8</a> (Matra Alice computers + Apple Macintosh + Thomson TO-7 + history panels) <br/> - <a href="/media/magazine/articles/18/video9.avi">Video 9</a> (exposition hall viewed from the upper mezzanine - part 1) <br/> - <a href="/media/magazine/articles/18/video10.avi">Video 10</a> (exposition hall viewed from the upper mezzanine - part 2) <br/> - <a href="/media/magazine/articles/18/video11.avi">Video 11</a> (Teamtendo electronic live performance for the exposition) </p> <p><br/> </p></td> </tr> <tr> <td><img height="135" src="/media/magazine/articles/18/expo_1s.jpg" width="200"/><br/> what you see when you enter the exposition</td> <td><img height="132" src="/media/magazine/articles/18/expo_048s.jpg" width="200"/><br/> another view from the back of the hall</td> </tr> <tr> <td><img height="134" src="/media/magazine/articles/18/expo_057s.jpg" width="200"/><br/> from the top</td> <td><img height="200" src="/media/magazine/articles/18/expo_053s.jpg" width="138"/><br/> left part of the hall</td> </tr> <tr> <td><img height="206" src="/media/magazine/articles/18/expo_054s.jpg" width="200"/><br/> here is the "pixel man" created with red self-adhesive<br/> floor mats.
