World exclusive: The Politician who Pwns

Politician by Day, Rockstar after Dark - Photoshop by Gabe

Politicians love to bash videogames.

No matter where you live – you know it. From English Lords attacking Grand Theft Auto to Greek lawmakers banning coin-op arcades. From restrictive laws in Germany, to senators talking ‘murder simulators’ in the USA.

But 2010 is the year of impossible things. People playing Duke Nukem Forever. A brand new Pacman game in the arcades. And now, a politician who likes videogames. Mind you – he’s not just an MP… he’s the Tasmanian state premier. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the world’s most game-friendly politician, David Bartlett.

Vectorman and more Game On 2.0 arcade glimpses

Wow, nice work by ABCTV Tasmania.

Here’s an interview with Vectorman, (aka John Yates from Illinois) who has a collection of more than 1,000 (faint!) arcade cabs and pinball machines.

The interview, at Game On 2.0, also includes a few glimpses of the arcade machines at the exhibition. Gauntlet! Out Run upright! Fantastic…

Exclusive! The Game On 2.0 *game list*

Two days ago, we gave you the first look behind the scenes, at Game On 2.0.
And to celebrate the exhibition opening today, JustOneMoreGame is proud to bring you… THE GAME LIST!

World first! Unpacking Game On 2.0

Many J-OMG readers would have attended, or at least read about Game On. It’s a ‘history of gaming’ travelling show that originated at The Barbican museum in London.

The new 2.0 version of Game On is about to celebrate its world debut in Inveresk (Launceston, Tasmania) this Saturday. After that, it’s going to Greece. Following that… USA? UK? ASIA?

Oh, and that “2.0” isn’t some ‘marketing’ thing. The whole show has been updated. (NEW GAMES!)

This week, we’ll be doing a bit of a ‘Game On frenzy’ at J-OMG.

Let’s kick things off with the world’s first look… behind-the-scenes at Game On 2.0!
