🕹️An exhibition on the history of video games - and Scotland's links to the industry, is opening this weekend at the National Museum of Scotland. Today I had a chance to see it, and even play a few of the classics. My @STVNews at Six report 👇 @NtlMuseumsScot

@scully1888 @NtlMuseumsScot Thanks for coming in, Chris, was good to see you

Had a fantastic time checking out the Game On exhibition at @NtlMuseumsScot in Edinburgh ahead of its opening this weekend. Expect some (very serious, honest) footage of it on the VGC channel soon, but otherwise it's highly recommended for all ages.

Now's your chance to expose me as the fraud you're sure I am. Either that, or just pick my brains
