The Internet Arcade

If youre of a certain age you will remember when video games were stand alone machines that you had to put coins in to play. Some of you reading this will Im sure have spent hours (and a small fortune) playing your favourite game trying to get the "top score."
Well you can now replay your favourite games thanks to the wonderful Internet Archives new project the Internet Arcade: "a web-based library of arcade (coin-operated) video games from the 1970s through to the 1990s ... Containing hundreds of games ranging through many different genres and styles, the Arcade provides research, comparison, and entertainment in the realm of the Video Game Arcade. The game collection ranges from early "bronze-age" video games, with black and white screens and simple sounds, through to large-scale games containing digitized voices, images and music."

Artificial Intelligence Goes to the Arcade

My colleague, Mark Wilson, brought this article titled Artificial Intelligence Goes to the Arcade in the New Yorker about an AI that can learn to play computer arcade games better than people. Combining neural networks with reinforcement learning the company, DeepMind, was bought by Google for over $600 million last year. This is an interesting article which you can follow up in more detail with a paper recently published in the journal Nature.
