Celebrating the LAN Party Revival!

Long Live The LAN Party!

Revisit Your LAN Party Triumphs!

Do you recall the days of CRT monitors humming, the dial-up screech filling the air, and the tradition of hauling your desktop to a friend’s house for an unforgettable night of gaming?

ACMI is honoring the golden era of multiplayer gaming with its upcoming Game Worlds exhibition — and they want YOU to participate!

Find those nostalgic LAN party photos — the tangle of Ethernet cables, snack-infused mischief, and those iconic Windows 98 loading screens — and submit them. Your image could grace the walls of ACMI, permanently marking your legacy in gaming.

Exhibition opens September 2025

Let’s celebrate the golden age of connections — before online matchmaking, there were friends’ garages, switchboards, and a collective passion for the grind.

Fun Fact: ACMI’s CEO, Seb Chan, began his journey managing LAN parties and playing HEXEN. We’ve traveled far since then — now it’s your chance to shine!
