THIS is your official ‘last chance to see’ gong, CityLifers, because this Sunday is your absolute final opportunit­y to get involved with one the Museum of Science & Industry’s most engaging exhibition­s yet – PLAY It! Manchester.

A collection of 120 playable consoles from down the ages of home computers, it tells the evolutiona­ry tale of gaming, but also serves as a time capsule for visitors no matter what their age.

Remember those games you thought were tedious on the old BBC when you were a kid? Well, marvel at how excited you’ll be today when you find a strange action that Podd can actually do (sneeze and jump remain our clean favourites).

There’s plenty of cutting edge consoles too, with up to the minute Xbox machines loaded up with racing and war games,

PLAY It Manchester at MoSI and PCs ready to pull the attention of the young boy in your family out of playing Minecraft in his bedroom to playing Minecraft in a museum.

It’s all vastly more social than that sounds. And there are themed cupcakes – rejoice!

MOSI, Liverpool Rd / mosi.org.uk / 0161 832 2244 / Until August 9 / 10am-5pm / £4-£12 / @voiceofmos­i
