Whoa that's awesome. If it's not immediately clear from the title, this is the Science Museum in London. If you've ever in London, I'd highly recommend it - loads to see (including an IMAX). This arcade looks huge and I love how they've split it into different eras and genres.

Immerse yourself in gaming history as the Science Museum (London, UK) opens a games arcade
(www.ianvisits.co.uk)
It didn't say ANYWHERE ON THAT PAGE OR IN THE TITLE OR POST which science museum this is, only "the science museum"
I don't think you understand... This IS - THE Science Museum
That’s because Ian Visits is a London-specific blog.
And in London this is The Science Museum.
Similarly The Natural History Museum (star of Paddington)
It’s cool that they’re doing something like this, but if it’s for a museum, then something is lost by using LCDs instead of old tube televisions for games released prior to a certain year.
Sure they could add scanlines to emulate it, but it’s not quite the same. Plus the input latency is a problem.
