The Computerspielemuseum (Computer Games Museum) collects, preserves and researches digital interactive entertainment media since its foundation in 1997. It has one of the largest European collections of video games, consoles and magazines on the subject.
In 2011, the current permanent exhibition opened in the former Café Warschau (Warsaw) in Berlin-Friedrichshain. In addition to an introduction to the cultural history of playing games, it also traces the development of video games over the past 70 years. On display are milestones such as the first mass-produced arcade machine ComputerSpace from 1971, the first video game console Odyssey from 1972 as well as many well-known favourites such as the C64, Game Boy, Amiga or Mega Drive.
The Computerspielemuseum not only shows games and hardware, but also their surroundings: visitors can immerse themselves in a 1980s-style amusement arcade with playable original arcade machines or in living rooms from the 1970s to the 1990s.
Of the more than 300 exhibits in the exhibition, more than 30 can be played and tried out - and depending on the special exhibition, even more.
