I tried out old-fashioned games consoles

This is how games used to look!

Computer games fan Sonny visited London's Science Museum to check out an exhibition about the history of gaming.

He made a film for Press Pack and checked out the weird and wonderful games and consoles on display at the event, called Game On.

Here's the story of his day...

"I got up at 6am and came to London on the train with my sister.

Then we went to the Science Museum and I met the people from Newsround, then we went off to make our Press Pack film.

I had been to the Science Museum before, but when we went into the exhibition, I couldn't believe how many games there were!

I'm into computer games. I especially like computer games that involve rally driving and cars, but some of the games I saw at the exhibition were really different to the ones I'm used to.

There were lots of really old games. I didn't think much of the graphics!

The modern games have much better graphics and they are much more challenging. I did think some of the old games were funny, though.

I spent about two hours filming. It was weird because I've never done anything like it before, but I had a good time.

The exhibition was a lot of fun. It would probably appeal more to boys than girls, but if you're into computer games, then you'll probably enjoy it anyway!"

Why don't you write us a Press Pack report - and get it published on the site?!

It can be about anything that's happened in your local area - or your views on the news.
