Game Masters reviews

Press reviews and visitor reactions to the Game Masters exhibition.

In the press

"Opens the eyes as much as it feeds the imagination"
The Big Issue

"An immersive and educational experience that hits all the right buttons"
The Independent

"Slick, state-of-the-art and expanded for its European debut, Game Masters tweaks all the right pleasure centres for gamers, and seems intriguing and accessible enough to tempt neutrals into picking up a joypad"
Eurogamer

"Providing a fascinating and hyperactive journey through videogame history, Game Masters is sure to be one of the National Museum of Scotland’s most popular exhibitions to date"
Edinburgh Spotlight

"We cannot recommend Game Masters enough"
Bleedingcool.com

"It is an exhibition like no other. In fact, 'exhibition' doesn't really describe what is going on here; it's more of an interaction or (dare I say) immersion. Occupying a vast upper gallery is a banging and bleeping miasma of analog fuzz and digital delirium. On entering, you are transported back to the golden age of arcade gaming.."
Scottish Review
