Title: Soviet Era Arcade Machines
Post by: Fleach on December 07, 2012, 09:18:50 AM
I know a lot of people in this community enjoy playing arcade machines and more than likely familiar with the ones found in North America. This article is about a Moscow museum showcasing Soviet-built arcade machines.

Since American games were forbidden in Russia it's interesting to see how and what these kids played.

I haven't watched the video in the article yet, but I expect to see a good deal of nationalist undertones in the games.

Hah!  The video's not even half a minute long :) Only one game is shown, but it still looks cool, as it seemed to be somewhat of a 3-D/first person take on Sea Wolf.

All your base are belong to you?  No, I don't think that works.

No, no, no...

It's "All OUR base are belong to you."

Actually, that doesn't work too well either, does it?

I get the impression there was only ever one Soviet arcade machine from this video...
