On March 28th, 2008, Window presented a special one-night only videogame show entitled Play it! Make it!. With a handpicked selection of innovative, unusual, and experimental games from Bill Viola, Toshio Iwai, and others, the Play It! section allowed visitors to experience first-hand important game works. A full catalogue text gives an overview of each of these and highlights some key concepts.

Game designer Jeff Nusz, together with designer Andrew Johnson and programmer Luke Duncalfe, ran a lightning fast, low-tech workshop that comprised the Make it! section on the same evening. Arming small teams with a bevy of musical instruments, craft supplies and a computer, Jeff assisted participants in designing and building a simple videogame in just 2 hours.
