TimeBOMB: An Interactive Game Station Showcasing the History of Computer Games

We present TimeBOMB, an interactive game station that enables players to experience the history of computers and video game development. They compete with each other playing an adaption of the classic game "Bomberman". As a novelty, each of the four sides of the station represents a different time period with corresponding input and output modalities. They consist of an oscilloscope interface with self-made, analogue control dials, a text-based interface controlled by a keyboard, a 2D arcade interface controlled by a joystick, and a 3D interface controlled by a gamepad. These four styles resemble iconic examples from the history of computer games. The game's art style also differs for each side accordingly.
