The MADE has brought the game industry map along with other playable exhibits, education initiatives, and even game trivia to GDC over the years. We hope you'll join in this year and share your memories with us!

Some of these artifacts from 2011-2017 are in the MADE’s care as part of our ever-growing collection. In 2011, the MADE began what is now a semi-yearly tradition at GDC: a game industry map for attendees to note all the places they've worked.

In recent years (2021-2025), the MADE has been a prominent GDC exhibitor, bringing playable retro games to the show floor every year. At the core of our operations, we showcase exhibits honoring gaming legends for you to read, learn, and play.

Here’s the MADE at GDC from 2015 to 2019. Over these years, you could find the museum operating the Arcade Play exhibits on the expo floor, networking with attendees, and providing playable history around the event.

In 2014, THE John Romero joined the MADE's Doom Deathmatch at GDC. This is when the museum began a long-standing partnership with GDC, and we’ve brought playable gaming history to the conference ever since.
