ARCADE MUSEUMBUDAPEST
Preserving the Golden Age of Arcade Gaming
Arcade Museum Budapest isn't just a game room—it's a time machine. We specialize in the meticulous restoration and preservation of original arcade hardware from the 1980s and 90s. Every cabinet in our museum is a living piece of history, running on its original PCB and glowing with the authentic warmth of CRT technology.
The Collection
...and 100+ more classic cabinets waiting for you.
A Family-Friendly, Interactive Exhibition Space
Family & Kids
Arcade Museum Budapest is a family- and child-friendly, interactive gaming history exhibition. The museum may also periodically host themed programs, community events, and gaming tournaments.
Not Gambling
Our operation has no connection whatsoever to gambling, slot machines, or their operation. Alcohol is not sold on the premises.
Inventory & Info
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.
Coin-Free Experience
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.
