About

Video games are so ubiquitous these days that it is hard to imagine a life without them, but perhaps even more strange is to experience the games of yore. 

The National Video Game Museum in Zoetermeer offers exactly that experience by providing visitors access to many old arcade machines exhibits covering the history of video games from the 1980s to the early 2000s.
