Families, gamers and friends of all ages brought their hand-held consoles along to the Museum to play their favourite games, from Mario Kart to Brain Training, in a bid to break the World Record.

Gaz Deaves, Gaming Editor of Guinness World Records, who oversaw the record breaking attempt said:

"It was a great event, the atmosphere was incredible. Seeing everyone raise their DS in the air in triumph at the end was fantastic.

"It shows Bradford and the National Media Museum really loves gaming."
