From Shannon to the Arcade. The Emergence of Computer Games.

Only a few people know that computer games have existed about as long as computers themselves. Even back in the 50s, the computer industry was closely tied to computer games. Experience more about this history for yourself in the tour. Learn how the video game industry grew out of scientific research and see where the inspiration came from for their inventions.

Culture Guided Tour:
Computer Games as a Medium of Design, Art and Culture

No other medium has contributed as much to the development of our digital information society. You’ll see how history repeats itself in recent decades. The same way in which non-linear storytelling was revolutionized by computer games, game designers have enjoyed how digital technologies have let their creative potential explode. Join us on a cultural trip and experience computer games as a colorful medium between fascination and controversy.

Special Guided Tour "Play the originals":

On this tour, we open the cabinets for you. Normally, our rare original machines have to stay turned off during regular opening hours to ensure their preservation. However, during this tour, our guides will turn them on, so you can play for yourselves. Alongside an introduction to the history and culture of computer games, you can relive the fascination of retro arcade machines like the first 3D game experiment. Play the originals with us!
