Soviet Arcade Game Museum - Picture Tour inside!

Very interesting. I mostly glanced at the pics and didn't read it all, but I wonder if Russia brought in any of the games we call classics.
 
That's amazing! I would have thought the communist party's drive to keep out "western" culture would have made arcades impossible, BITD. Really neat, in would love to check this out if I ever got to visit moscow.
 
Great. Now I need to call up my cousin and plan a trip to Russia whenever they go next to visit their family.
 
I recall reading an article on Yahoo about 5 years ago about this. They said a lot of the games were designed under assumed names, so Westerner's couldn't discover any secrets. I guess they thought anything in these games could be used in actual Cold War style action, but whatever. I also recall that since they were all done under assumed names, a lot of the info was lost about them pretty much forever. Pretty cool to see though.
