Some of these artifacts from 2011-2017 are in the MADE’s care as part of our ever-growing collection. In 2011, the MADE began what is now a semi-yearly tradition at GDC: a game industry map for attendees to note all the places they've worked.

In recent years (2021-2025), the MADE has been a prominent GDC exhibitor, bringing playable retro games to the show floor every year. At the core of our operations, we showcase exhibits honoring gaming legends for you to read, learn, and play.

Here’s the MADE at GDC from 2015 to 2019. Over these years, you could find the museum operating the Arcade Play exhibits on the expo floor, networking with attendees, and providing playable history around the event.

In 2014, THE John Romero joined the MADE's Doom Deathmatch at GDC. This is when the museum began a long-standing partnership with GDC, and we’ve brought playable gaming history to the conference ever since.

Tetris: It could be the salve for a worried mind New research suggests the classic video game represents “flow” — a state of blissful distraction.

If you are feeling stressed by current events doing activities that put you in a flow state can help.
“And video games are perfect for flow as long as it's a game that meets and slightly pushes the skill level of the player.” - Kate Sweeny

The Video Game History Expansion Pack – Pitch your story Today I’m putting my money where my mouth is and launching a new project — a book focused on game history outside of the usual North American perspectives.

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...

It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.

Please share :)
