Today marked the arrival of the Starlight Fun Centre into the National Videogame Archive…

Starlight Fun Centre closed

This remarkable piece of kit was kindly donated by Nintendo and was originally designed to spread a little joy around children’s hospitals. This all-in-one entertainment unit includes a Panasonic TV, a combination DVD/VHS player and a Nintendo Game Cube console, with pads and games.

The games Luigi’s Mansion, Mario Party 4 and Wario World are all included with the unit. It’s a fantastic example that illustrates how games are played in different environments to provide fun and escapism.
