Museum of Soviet Arcade Machines, Computer museum in Kuznetsky Most, Moscow, Russia.
This museum displays over 50 working arcade machines from the Soviet period, including classic games like Sea Battle and Gorodki. The collection spans different game types that show how people in the USSR spent their free time.
Three graduates of Moscow Polytechnic University founded the museum in 2007 with 37 machines stored in a bomb shelter beneath a student dormitory. The project grew out of passion for preserving these gaming devices from being lost to time.
The machines show what Soviet players valued most: military scenarios, sports competitions, and skill challenges rather than cartoon characters or storytelling. Playing here reveals the kind of entertainment that mattered in that era.
Visitors receive 15-kopeck coins upon entry to operate the machines throughout the visit. With these authentic Soviet coins, you can try any game that interests you during your time there.
The museum preserves original Soviet soda vending machines where visitors can taste authentic beverages from that era. These dispensers come from the same period as the gaming machines and offer a rare chance to experience everyday Soviet life as people knew it.
