Soviet Arcade Games Museum
Forgotten and broken down Soviet-era arcade games are being restored for Moscow’s newest museum.
Around 20 of the 50 machines are now in working order. They operate with old Soviet 15 kopek coins, the hammer-and-sickle emblem of which itself conjures up a bygone time.
Visitors to the museum can try their luck with games like ‘Sea Battle’, where the player looks through a periscope and pretends to be a submarine commander, attempting to torpedo passing ships. In ‘Tankodrom’ the player tries to knock out rocket launchers and jeeps with a small plastic tank.
