For only €9 I definitely recommend! Going on each arcade machine once is worth more than the ticket alone! Lots of interesting items. Great for pictures and some great games to play. The themed nostalgic gaming spaces are amazing.

Definitely a must visit on your journey no matter if you’re only interested in video games or the industry and history behind it - you’ll see enough from both areas. The exhibitors have a lot to share and a lot to tell. And of course you’ll be able to play a lot of interactive games (both new and old) on their corresponding Plattform and(!) TV-screen. They even have an own arcade, a painstation and several separate rooms with consoles designed with furniture of that individual era. Definitely worth the money and the time you spend there!

Sehr nettes Personal dort. Wechselnde Themenausstellungen.. 👍 Spannend und nostalgisch die Ausstellung. Toll,dass man so viel tatsächlich spielen kann und sich in die Kindheit zurückversetzen kann.😅 Herkulade!!! 😂 PS One Herkules gespielt... Und Donkey Kong und Atari. Sehr liebevoll eingerichtet auch der "Wohnzimmerbereich".... Ein Besuch lohnt sich! Besucher ,bitte geht respektvoll mit der Einrichtung und den Leuten um !!!

Amazing trip back to time, but expect small children to be overrunning the place. The museum has all the game consoles from the 70s and forward, and they even have kids' rooms from the 70s, 80s and 90s, as well as an 80s arcade. There are tons of interactive games. I loved the place, but unfortunately there were too many kids everywhere skipping the lines and doing kids stuff. But I am glad to see the place flourishing ❤️ Highlights: Four primitive AIs playing each other, old school kids room and the only console to be developed in the DDR!

Nach ca. 8 Jahren mein 2. Besuch dort, es hat sich einiges zum Positiven verändert. An einem warmen Sommertag, ist es auch dort sehr warm. Hauptattraktionen sind natürlich die Spielegeräte, welche sich bei hohen Besucheraufkommen auch hoch frequentiert benutzt werden. Eintrittspreise sind moderat. Jedoch ist der Einlass auf 2h begrenzt, das schafft man locker, wenn man sich nicht dem Spielespaß und lWartezeiten vollstens ergibt. Nicht aber, wenn man sich wirklich intensiv mit allem auseinander setzen möchte. Insgesamt ist es eine tolle kleine Zeitreise, ein größerer Ort würde dem Thema aber deutlich gut tun. Gibt schließlich noch so viele Spiele, die dort aufgeführt und erwähnt werden müssten.

What an amazing place to visit! If you're interested in computer games at all, this is THE place to go. They have loads of exhibits on the history and evolution of entertainment technology, as well as lots of actual consoles you can play, and even a gaming arcade! It can get a bit busy, which makes it harder to get a turn at any of the machines, but it's absolute heaven for gaming enthusiasts, especially if you're nostalgic for older games and gaming consoles!

THE place to visit if you are interested in computer games! This place is lovingly and thoughtfully curated with fantastic displays and loads of interactive stuff to do. You can even play the old arcade games! Wonderful gift shop and even more wonderful staff. I cannot recommend this fascinating museum highly enough! We will be back next time we are in Berlin.

This was a great museum for kids and game lovers. Interesting to see the revolution of games also fun to play lots of classic games that reminded us of old times.

This is a must if you are into retro gaming and old computing tech. Various arcade machines and replicas are available to play here as well as a good documentary history for loads of systems. Be warned that it does get busy with families so you may need to wait a while to use each attraction. Well worth the money and drinks were cheap too on site.

Wenn man mal 2 Stündchen in Erinnerung schwelgen will absolute Empfehlung, eigentlich kann alles in den arcades bespielt werden. Der kleine Raum mit sega Rally und den anderen Automaten ist aber wirklich viel zu hell das wäre tatsächlich das einzige negative was man hier loswerden könnte.

Meinem Freund und mir hat das Museum sehr gefallen 😁 allein die Geschichte der Konsolen mit den dazugehörigen Modellen war super interessant und informativ. Was wir uns gewünscht hätten wäre ein bisschen mehr Interaktivität. Es gab einige Bereiche wo man was spielen konnte, doch im Arcade haben die Spiele nicht funktioniert Trotzdem ist das Museum sehr empfehlenswert und man sollte sich definitiv viel Zeit für dieses Museum nehmen 😗✌

Not bad, pretty good range of demonstrated stuff. But, dont forget to get water! Also pleased with the small number of people.

The museum itself is amazing. Not only does it visualize the history of games, it also lets you play many of them on the original old devices. The staff at the museum were very friendly, helpful, and forthcoming. There is a small shop where you can buy memorable souvenirs.

This museum was so great. I make video games and it was so cool to see the history. They had every game console ever made, an original Apple II signed by Woz, and a whole virtual reality section. Plus an arcade. It wasn't huge but probably like a one hour experience.

Pretty neat place. If you're into classic computers and video games, give this place a visit. There are also free to play arcade games and an interesting game called a 'pain station'. You actually have to sign a waiver to play it. No spoilers. 😊 The museum is a great diversion. It is a bit small and you'll be in and out in about hour. Still, it was a good experience. WOZ was there and left his mark.

I visited the Computer Games Museum in Berlin with my older son and we had a blast. It was a fun and educational experience for both of us, as we saw lots of old and unique consoles and learned about the history of computer games . We enjoyed exploring the rare originals, interactive objects and artistic installations that showcased the evolution of gaming over 70 years. We also had a chance to play old arcades and computer games there which was super fun. The museum staff were friendly and helpful, and the admission price was reasonable. I would recommend this museum to anyone who loves computer games or wants to learn more about them.

Absolutely loved this museum! Could have spent hours in here. There are so many interactive aspects to this museum. I loved how it took me back to my childhood and before so I could compare the games and consoles from the 80s till today. Some of the games from the 80s and 90s really were brilliant... others felt very outdated. At the moment they have a food exhibition which is filled with food themed games such as cooking mama, overcooked and fruit ninja. There is a game that makes you feel actual pain. I was not brave enough to try this but it is there for thrill seekers to try. The staff were also very helpful and there is a discount if you have a Berlin Welcome Card.

This place is insane! They have every console you could imagine and a good selection of playable games! The coat room is also a very handy feature! Would go during the weekend as on a Saturday it was packed, and never got to play any of the games.

Fun and very nostalgic museum for us who grew up in the 80's and a bit of the early 90's. We were kids again for three hours... The museum has a shop with nice ideas for souvenirs and gifts.

Interesting museum. So much rich information about computing and videogames history. You can feel there's a lot of work and love behind this museum. When I got there, they made a tour explaining the museum and its context. There are many machines you can play with. I absolutely recommend a visit to this museum.

cute, not very big, dedicated to forty-year-old nerds. I would have added more historical cabinets, kungfu master or double dragon types.

Many interactive gaming exhibits and displays of various old consoles and other gaming technology. Life-size statues of various iconic videogame characters like Link and Lara Croft decorate the foyer. The place seems to be geared towards teens.

Sehr interessante historische Ausstellung. Leider gingen nicht alle Spiele, oder wären erklärungsbedürftig gewesen. Wir haben trotzdem viel ausprobiert. Super die eingerichteten Zimmer mit den PCs aus der jeweiligen Zeit. Beim Game-Autorennen Room ist leider sehr klein für den Andrang, etwas eng, man muss länger warten. Personal ist sehr nett. Uns und Kind hat es Spass gemacht.

Da wurden Erinnerungen wach. Absolut tolles und interaktives Museum für die ganze Familie. Unbedingt die angebotene Führung mitmachen, sehr interessant. Dieses Museum ist zu empfehlen und war eines der Highlights des Berlinbesuchs

Amazing!! I just wish there was a bit more stuff about game development but i loved it either way

Wo soll ich anfangen? Es war mein bisher Dritter Besuch im Computerspielemuseum und bin immernoch genauso Happy wie nach dem ersten Besuch! Hier kann man tonnenweise Technik bestaunen und vieles davon darf man sogar ausprobieren (Atari, Nintendo, Playstation, IBM-PC / siehe Fotos)! Es gibt noch eine weitere, Riesige Auswahl an Arcade-Maschinen, die man ausprobieren kann (meine Favoriten sind Crazy Taxi, Pac-Man und Donkey Kong). Für alle, die Volljährig sind, gibt es ein Gerät namens Pain-Pong (wo ich beim letzten Besuch drei Spiele gespielt und gewonnen habe). Ich habe es mit einem Kumpel und zuletzt mit einem Mitarbeiter gespielt, der sich dazu bereit erklärt hat (LG und Vielen Dank nochmal an dich!) Das sollte schon davon überzeugen, dass die Mitarbeiter des Museums alles mögliche für ihre Besucher machen. Service wie aus dem Bilderbuch! Es gibt auch einen Souvenirladen, mit schönen Sachen, die man woanders nur sehr schwer oder gar nicht bekommt. Ich habe mir ein schönes T-Shirt geschnappt (Siehe Bild). Die Beschreibungen der Exponate sind in Deutsch und in Englisch. Außerdem kann man sich Führungen für verschiedene Altersgruppen buchen (für Details bitte beim Museum nachfragen). Die Preise sind absolut in Ordnung, denn jegliche Geräte dort müssen ja auch irgendwie gewartet, die Mitarbeiter bezahlt und die Immobilienmiete gezahlt werden. Alles in allem, kurz und bündig zusammengefasst: Service: 5/5 Preise: 5/5 Exponate/Ausstellung: 5/5 Immer wieder sehr gerne! Vielen Dank und bis nächsten Mal!

A nice museum of computer game history. While I enjoyed being there, I got bored really fast. It's very nice to get back into your childhood and grab a PS1 controller once again. Some exhibits are pure works of art, like painstation or boat where you could play fishing simulator, but overall it has too much text and reading for several hours is not what you would expect in a videogame museum. Nevertheless, I think I'm a bit nitpicky and this museum is still a super interesting place to visit

Very cool place. Lots of games where you can interact with and also in groups of people, so it's also fun with friends.

A fun place, but definitely not a cultural museum, it’s more to have fun and get to know the history of the computer games and evolution. Since this is interactive, you have to wait a lot to play a game, the rooms are small and with the summer weather it’s very uncomfortable and warm to be inside. You can play one turn at a time since there are other people waiting for their turn. I guess it’s better to go during a week day for it to be less crowded.

The museum.showa the evolution of computer games and allows you to go back in time and play with some consoles. Is an interactive museum for a computer games liver. It has an arcade with old games like Pac-man

Very nice and entertaining museum. It has a lot of very cool retro games, it brought me back to my youth. From monochrome games like castle to the original Mario Bros on Nintendo, and Prince of Persia and space invaders and all new stuff. As a family we all had lots of fun.

It was really full and I wasn't able to play with any of the machines, but there's a lot of information and displays on the history and cultural impact of videogames, which was my main reason for visiting.

A fun place to be for an hour or two. Nice memories for the old guys and interesting knowledge and fun for the young ones. The arcade could be more ventilated.

NERD HEAVEN!!! Really cool place, I could spend hours in there (and I did). There are really rare and fun games, and the whole museum really takes you through the history of gaming. It's like a legacy arcade. 10/10 recommend.

Very cool little gaming museum for nerds of all ages! Please note a few things: It’s not super big, so you will probably be max spending 1.5 hours there, but it’s a very fairly priced. There can be a bit of a wait before you can enter (we waited 20 mins on a weekday). There are lots of fun facts and information about the history of gaming and lots of games to try, but be aware that there might be several kids waiting in line. I definitely recommend it to anyone who are curious about the history of computer gaming.

Amazing place and such a great experience if you're into video games. You can go there and just to play in the old school arcade they have or other games but the museum itself is very informative, the hardware wall is impressive and the explanations are great! I absolutely loved the place. Would definitely go there again if I'm in the area :)

It was very fun, but I would have loved to see more of the nintendo classics like different mario bros or mario karts.

Just a joy to relax and play some of my favorite video games, while also learning the history behind the industry. The level of details they put into recreating the different eras was exceptional. I hope they move to a bigger space and add more video games.

A nice museum spanning video game history, all content available in german and english.

It is adorable! Many old games to play and read about them. It is definetely a cool place for gamers and families.

Really nice and nostalgic place.. not only for nerds 😏

I would only be critical and say it was a little vague where to begin, plus bring headphones with a cable to listen to some of the videos (and not have to buy a headset). Apart from that it's awesome. Loads of games to play and great fun education. Spent three hours there. Bring hand sanitizer too.

Awesome place. Better not to visit during weekend. Try PainStation! Huehue :P

A great place to visit if you've spent parts of your youth with Super Mario, console based racing games or any other classic. The museum offers a variety of games to play, from the good old pong up to PS4 games, including a good portion of arcade games. Great experience!

If you want to learn stuff about computer games and how it all happened, it's the place to be. Don't forget head phones, if you want to listen to the audio stations and be patient if you want to try out the Arcade machines (a lot of other people want to do that, too :-)). Though because of Corona limitations you only get 2 hours in there, so use them wisely. If you are really interested in the details, it won't be enough time.

What a treat, this brought back a lot of happy memories from my gaming childhood. The wall of consoles and the different bedrooms from various eras of gaming were the highlights. Also original dance dance revolution with metal pad!

Cute and fun place to be at. It has a nice collection of vintage games and arcade machines and some other consoles. Great place to go and see the history of gaming.

Easily one of my favourite things to do in Berlin. The history of video games was very well explained and the old consoles and arcade games that you could play made the whole experience complete

This awesome museum will bring everybody back to the computer games of your childhood, no matter if you grew up in the 70s or the 2000s. With an exhibition of gaming consoles and arcades of the past decades, (many of which are playable) and information plaques in German and English this is the place to learn and have fun at the same time. If you are into video games be prepared, that you can spend a lot of time here.

As of July 2021 their is a Konami DDR game with a home made metal pad. This place is OK and the game selection isn't that great. I don't know if covid has restricted how many machines can be in each room. I tried all the games and it seems all machine controllers work fine for casual gaming. The volume for all games are just too low to hear anything clearly. The gift store is good and would recommend checking it out if your a local. I give this place 3.5 Chuckie cheese out 5. 😏

Simply put : wonderful. A cozy, chill place where I learned a LOT about my favorite pass time even though I’d consider myself pretty well versed. It’s so cool to see all the love and care that went into it. You can really feel the attention to detail from the presentation to the way you can interact with the exhibition. A must visit if you like the medium ❤️

Definitely worth a visit some nice layouts showing the past eras of gaming and computers. I think a more flowing time line could be created but it works, lots of interesting facts and faces and of course the ability to play some of the all time classics.

A great idea. A good way of showing the development of computer games and computers. Especially the young generation can understand how today's world was shaped decades ago. I enjoyed it. Some remarks: It could have been bigger. No signs of Street Fighter (quite a breakthrough in gaming world) No Amstrad model. Could have been better to show the evolution of a game series e.g. Fifa, Street Fighter.

Really enjoy this place. It was quite busy but we still got play on all the old arcade an computer games. A good way to spend a few hours if the weather is not soo good

I love a museum that doesn’t pressure you to read everything! We just planned all the games of our childhood and had lots of fun. Very interactive for adults and kids

I loved it! If you are a fan of computers and videogames, you won't be disappointed. There are so many videogames from oldest to newest, with explanations. Hell, you can even play some old school games in rooms that seem to come out from the '80s! Or lose yourself playing in the arcade room. Overral highly suggested.

The visual history of gaming with a free arcade to take an amazing trip down memory lane. From pong to the PS4 it’s all here, with some hidden gems that will make any gaming appassionate shad a tear. Nostalgia done right with hints to all levels of gaming platforms and genres. The reproduction of the gaming habitats make you feel at a whole different level

It's smaller than I thought but still a good place to visit while in Berlin if you are/were into games. It brings some nostalgia and you can travel through time. It's worth a visit.

Fun and interactive display of the history of computer gaming. Loved the arcade section with playable games

A small private museum with an arcade and some Gameboy, Xbox and pc games. A lot of kids on the weekend. Regular price is 11 € but if you book online there is a 1 € discount ;) We took our time and spent about 2 hours here.
