An exhibition highlighting the artistry behind video and computer games over the past four decades is featuring in Melbourne.

'Game Masters' has works from 30 of the world's top creative visionaries: game designers, programmers and artists.

From the earliest arcade games, like Pacman and Space Invaders, to consoles and mobile technology, like Fruit Ninja and Angry Birds, gaming has been a part of popular culture for more than 40 years. 

Hosted by the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, it's hoped the series will become a top tourist drawcard.

'Game Masters' will run until the end of October.
