Congratulations, you have reached Gaming Nirvana!

Here in Gaming Nirvana, you can actually become part of a video game yourself, thanks to the Avatar Machine created by artist Marc Owens.

You put on the Avatar Machine. The VR goggles transmit a picture from the camera mounted on a pole on your back, meaning you can view yourself from a third-person perspective, as if you’re an avatar in a game.

You run around joyfully. Now the whole world is a video game.

We hope you enjoyed your curious adventure. All of the consoles and computers you encountered can be found in the book Curious Video Game Machines by Lewis Packwood, along with many, many more rare and unusual machines.
