"With this final series of events, we are presenting a thorough view of videogaming's past, present and future," said Gaetan Lee, events co-ordinator for The Science Museum.

"Jonathan Smith will show us how we make games today and we'll look back to where games have come from with Games Gone By. We'll take a look into the future of videogame environments with Chris Doran and to put gaming as a whole into context, Margaret Robertson looks at why we play games in the first place," concluded Lee.
