Summary

In March 2023, Nexon shut down the servers for "Crazy Racing KartRider," a beloved online game. To celebrate its 19-year run and link it to its successor, "KartRider: Drift," Nexon Computer Museum has set up an exhibition called "KartRider: A Journey from END to AND." This exhibit is in a narrow corridor at the museum and uses interactive displays and media art to engage visitors. One feature, "Driving License," lets visitors log in with their Nexon ID to retrieve old game data and get a custom driving license. Another section, "Trackpedia," allows visitors to draw their own tracks and receive AI-generated suggestions for similar tracks, complete with gameplay details. The "Timeline" area showcases important moments from the game’s history on ten screens with animations. Finally, the "Drift Simulator" lets visitors experience "KartRider: Drift" with racing wheels and pedals. The exhibition brings back fond memories for former players and introduces the game’s impact to new audiences.
