The FMV Zone

What if video games could be more realistic? Today we take photorealistic graphics for granted, but to the 8-bit generation they were a dream that seemed far out of reach. Full motion video (FMV) attempted to bridge the gap between technology and imagination by embedding film clips into games. From the horror of Phantasmagoria to the scandal of Night Trap to the wonders of Myst, full motion video games made an indelible mark on video game history, breaking sales records and contributing to the rise of the ESRB. FMV games are enjoying a resurgence today with critically acclaimed new releases such as Erica and Immortality and the upcoming A Rum Case in Fogtown puppet show FMV.

FMV Zone is an exhibit like no other, walking you through the history and future of this fascinating art form with amazing artifacts, informative videos, and live demonstrations. FMV Zone was the dream of Roberta Vaughan, gamer, friend, and video game publicist. After her untimely passing, her friends banded together to complete the project, premiering first at Portland Retro Gaming Expo.

The Art Of Nintendo Power

The Art of Nintendo Power is a traveling museum exhibit and online project dedicated to showcasing the original artwork created for Nintendo Power magazine, which ran from 1988 to 2012. Curated by Stephan Reese and the non-profit Interactive Art Collection, this initiative dives deep into the visual legacy of one of gaming’s most iconic publications. This exhibit gives you the opportunity to view truly one of a kind artifacts up close!
