Part of the Imperial War Museum (IWM) will be converted to a retro gaming zone with visitors able to play titles including Medal of Honour as part of a new exhibition looking at how conflict is represented in video games.

The free show, called War Games: Real Conflicts/Virtual Worlds/Extreme Entertainment includes a display about the controversial shooter game Six Days in Fallujah which was inspired by the real-life testimonies of US marines and civilians caught up in the conflict around the city in the Iraq War in 2004.
