Level42 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) Well I hope they will fail and fail badly. This is the Berlin "museum" who thinks it's OK to butcher original arcade machines and put MAME hardware and LCD's in them. This is like a car museum ripping out the interior of their cars and replacing the original engines with a hybrid-engine just to keep them running...... AVOID AT ALL COST !

Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) The original article explains (in German) that the collection of the museum we both dislike will only be a part of the new museum. So fingers crossed that the new museum will handle its collection with more care. Edited November 20, 2016 by Thomas Jentzsch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high voltage Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 The country which banned video games like River Raid, that's a joke..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 Yup, and they use the samples of the banned games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high voltage Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Maybe Germany's grown up a bit. Mind you, selling my Silent Scope game for Dreamcast on ebay.de always gets pulled, so I guess not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 Excessive violence against human beings in games, movies etc. is banned in Germany. IMO that's very grown up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 I suppose this is not the right forum to discuss this. Too political. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enthusi Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Also I would not criticize the Berlin Computerspiele museum too much. While there are many things and decisions questionable, it is obviously very hard to run such a museum at all. Costs are a major issue I assume, otherwise we would see MANY more of those. If the decision is: MAME arcade to at least show how it was like vs NO arcade, then I think they made the right call. It's not like someone WANTED it like this.

high voltage Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) Yeah I'm all for it in the end, it can only be a good thing. But does Germany know enough about video games? They killed the arcades (Karlsruhe has a great arcade museum, telling the story how things were) I always wanted to go to the berlin computerspiele museum, went to the Ramones museum instead, that was great.

danny_galaga Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I for one enjoyed the museum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunsen Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I always wanted to go to the berlin computerspiele museum, went to the Ramones museum instead, that was great. . Good decision, the Computerspiele Museum is crap. In the texts are many errors. They should have concentrate more on german video game history. There are some quite interesting facts about german arcade games, especially from GDR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
