Museum of Soviet Arcade Machines
The Museum of Soviet Arcade Machines is a private interactive historical museum with a one of a kind collection of playable arcade machines from the Soviet Union. The museum was founded by three enthusiasts, who collected arcade machines from the former Soviet Union, transported and restored them with love and care so they can be played. The first Museum of the Soviet Arcade Machines was opened in Moscow in 2007, and had a great amount of success among Moscow citizens and foreign visitors who found there exactly what they looking for: exciting time machines. (Wikipedia, 2017).
"Arcade Games were a part of childhood and youth of Soviet people. They were made at secret military factories from the seventies up to the Perestroika. Forgotten and broken down Soviet-era arcade games are now being restored for Moscow’s newest museum and now it is possible to play and feel atmosphere of the passed epoch." (Museum of Soviet Arcade Machines, 2017). Even though there aren't plenty of the arcade machines but only about 50, for around 350-450 (prices change) rubles you are given a handful of 15-penny coins which you can use to play with still working machines . Even though nowadays we are very spoiled with all of the amazing computer graphics, it is very interesting to see what people had compared to what we have nowadays. Not only is it interesting, lately old fashioned games are becoming more and more popular, so perhaps you may even enjoy the games much more than you expected. |
