I learned about this cool exhibit at ACMI in Melbourne today, and immediately had to write about it.

It simulates working at a help line for a videogame company in 1993, complete with fictitious games, and a physical 300-page binder of various documents. Amazing.

I wrote a little bit about molly guards, or UI that protects you from other UI!†

I’m very curious if you have other examples I missed.
