I took my kids to Manchester's gaming exhibition with Mario, Pac-Man, Minecraft and more

Most parents spend their lives trying to get their kids off their tech, but there's a gaming exhibition in Manchester which is attracting more families than ever.
The beauty of Power Up at the Science and Industry Museum is that it features consoles and games from the last five decades - and it's drawing in the mums and dads as well as the kids.
Not only does it feature the newer games that kids enjoy, such as Fortnite and Minecraft, but there's a blast from the past for parents too, with everything from Pong to Pac-Man.

I took my children along to the exhibition to see exactly what it has in store - and we were there for hours.
In fact, once you've paid the entry fee - £8 for adults, £6 for kids - you can stay as long as you like.
Billed as 'a hands on gaming experience' it's divided into different sections, with everything from 4 Player and New Generation, to PC Games and Arcade.
There are themes too, such as Disney, Superhero and Lego to help visitors find the games they'd most like.
We spent much of our time playing Mario - the Super Mario Galaxy game was out before my kids were even born but we all found it surprisingly addictive on the Wii.
The VR experiences soon pulled us into the current decade, but I quickly took us right back with a game of tennis on the old Binatone TV Master.
This one came out in 1976, before even I was born - now that's old - and was part of the first generation of games consoles that transformed people's TVs into arcade machines.
Alongside it is the Atari 2600 from 1978, the most popular second-generation games console where you could buy cartridges of different games such as the alien zapping Space Invaders.
