Title: Soviet Arcade Museum
Post by: mpm32 on October 21, 2016, 02:02:02 pm

Soviet arcade museum.

Video about a guy that made a museum in St. Petersburg with old Soviet arcade games. They were playing them for a different reason back in the 80's. In Soviet Russia, arcade games play you.

Great link, pity they have to taint it with Cold War propaganda BS. Most of those games look much like games we had here. Does that mean arcade machines were training us in the West for the military as well?
