Description

Arcade Museum Budapest isn't just a game room—it's a time machine. The museum specialize in the meticulous restoration and preservation of original arcade hardware from the 1980s and 90s. Every cabinet in the museum is a living piece of history, running on its original PCB and glowing with the authentic warmth of CRT technology.

Operational machines are free to try after purchasing admission — no extra charge. Coins and tokens are not accepted: the coin acceptors are disabled and the coin slots are covered. The machines operate for cultural, educational, and entertainment purposes.

The pieces on display are catalogued in the museum's inventory. Information plaques placed next to each machine present its manufacturer, year of release, technical characteristics, and significance in gaming history. New additions to our continuously growing collection are likewise added to the record.
