After the huge success of our first Yorkshire Games Festival in 2016, we decided to do it all over again!
In 2011 we opened Life Online, the world’s first gallery dedicated to the social, technological and cultural impact of the internet. New media, computer technology and videogames are key to our collection and galleries.
It’s almost time for this year’s Yorkshire Games Festival. Game Republic’s Jamie Sefton takes a look at some of the exciting Yorkshire games developers whose work you’ll be able to sample at the five-day event.
Some of the newest items in our collection illustrate just how quickly technology is evolving.
