Stephen DSeptember 19, 2017Reasonably large selection of exhibits, many of which are playable - if busy it can be hard to find any free, playable, exhibits.
J KoflerNovember 14, 2018If you're a small group (4-8 people, 12+ years), try the game they offer! Can be done after 18:00, costs 2 Euros extra and gives you a different view of the museum and the exhibits!
Ivan StupakApril 1, 2019This place almost made me cry of joy :) Though they should definitely add more stuff. Still - great place to take your kids and show them the real stuff from our childhood.
- Hartje UtrechtMarch 21, 2013Really enjoyed the trip down memory lane. The museum is small but we spend quite some time walking around and playing video games. Especially the old arcades are awesome.
Siegfried JagottNovember 13, 2013Interesting Museum, unfortunately they focus on the years 1995-2010 a lot, not digging that deep into the more interesting 1980-1995s area where most of the games and game genre have been invented.
Torben AndersenJuly 11, 2014A bit small, but quite modern with a nice collection representing gaming tech, innovation, history and culture. Much interaction, video and reading. Only for fans.
SusanneOctober 14, 2012At this point, there was the Café Warschau with his musical garden restaurant. An impression of the former glory yet conveys the mosaic and the spiral staircase in the entrance of the museum.
Tamir CohenJuly 4, 2016Amazing museum about the evolution of video games! Awesome statues of famous video game characters!
Mike KeefeNovember 17, 2016Amazing collection of video games and consoles spanning five decades. Loved the arcade! Unfortunately the new VR experience was still under construction.
B. Aaron TalbotJuly 20, 2017small but packed museum with interactive features (you can sit in an 80s living room and play pong)...
Jiaxin LowJuly 20, 2018Small but worth the visit! So many games to engage visitors, even the most casual of gamers will have hours of fun here.- Piotr S.March 15, 2014Genial for all computer games lovers. You can see first game consoles and home computers (for ex. ZX81) and play some old games on original old consoles.
Daron YondemAugust 9, 2013A nice 20 minutes tour to back my childhood :) But I will never forgive them not including Lotus and Prince of Persia to their collection :) Anyways, worth the time and money spent.
Lena R.August 28, 2016Nice for computer game lovers, lots of retro games. But also very informative about the history of video gaming
Mohammed GamalFebruary 13, 2016A geek's heaven. No matter if you're an adult or just a kid, you are going to love it.
Luciana C.January 18, 2012Reduced but really interesting exibition. It comes from early gaming adictions until the computer consoles and you can also play some of the exibits. Not that innovative or interactive visit, but fun.- Yeşer SarıyıldızJuly 23, 2015really enjoyable museum, but a little bit small. It will take maximum 30 minutes with taking lots of photos.
Inês AnacletoNovember 26, 2017Great collection of computers, super setting! It’s really a lot of fun and worth more than one visit.
AlexanderJanuary 26, 2011Computer Game Museum just debuted in Berlin. Visit here for a walk down memory lane or a lesson learned as they explore the evolution of video gaming - from Pac-Man & Sonic the Hedgehog to Half Life..
Astrid C.November 6, 2014It's still quite small, but promising! They have some nice arcade machines to try out and a great amount on information panels about the development of games. Not sure if overpriced entry fee though..
Modestos KaffesAugust 7, 2014Seems small but time flies when you're inside. Make sure to have plenty of time to wander around. Also, try the PainStation in moderation.
- Bharath KarthikeyanJuly 26, 2013Carry a valid student ID and grab a ticket for 5 euros, its cheaper than the discount you can get with a berlin welcome card :)
Ketil EspenæsJanuary 14, 2012If you have good knowledge about gaming history this place won't show you anything new. Highliights: original Vectrex, Computer space and Pong (two latest not playable)
Dror NirMarch 8, 2013It's not the best place. I wanted to hear more about recent development in games, different companies, more about the start of online gaming and MMO and more but they were missing.
Sergey BrownJuly 11, 2013Worth visiting only if you have half a day or more and want to spend some hours in old games atmosphere.
Christoph JunkerAugust 9, 2015More about the past than the future bit still a fascinating gem that's not to miss.
Borja SáezAugust 19, 2012Little and great museum. Nice video-game exposition. Try the Painstation if you are a man hahaha
Sabine (Your Ambassadrice) de WitteMarch 14, 2016Entertainment when the weather is cold and you have to let your inner geek out
- Michal KozákNovember 18, 2016Not as big or interesting as I'd hoped, don't need to go back for second visit.
João RamosApril 6, 2013Small and overpriced, but still pretty good. Take your time to read everything.
MilošAugust 17, 2011its nice and everything is well explained but for the size of the place it is a bit pricey

"Tristan the TRex is impressive and it’s really good that there’s info about the research they are doing on him. The wet collection is also really good as it’s not something you usually see."

"Really loved the sandbox game and the dance game. And painting in the air with my fingers really felt like touching the future. A bit expensive, but definitely worth it."
