The Video Game History Museum, in collaboration with the design studio Clinica, will present the legendary arcade machine Computer Space to visitors of Zagreb Design Week at the Jadran Film location.
At the museum’s main location at Draškovićeva 10, visitors will be able to see the rare and valuable original Computer Space, known for its distinctive design. They’ll also have the chance to play the iconic game on a faithfully crafted replica, created by the EkipaKipara studio to closely match the original in both appearance and functionality.

The Video Game History Museum is a new cultural landmark in the heart of Zagreb, at Draškovićeva 10. Opened in late May, the museum is dedicated to preserving and showcasing the evolution of video games and gaming culture from the 1960s to the early 2000s.
The museum spans three floors and covers over 800 square meters. Its permanent exhibition features more than 3,000 items, many of which are interactive. The collection showcases some of the most influential games, game developers, publishers, and the technological advancements in gaming hardware across different eras.
Highlights of the collection include classic arcades you can actually play, such as Space Invaders (1978), Asteroids (1979), and Pac-Man (1980); around 100 gaming platforms; and some of the rarest treasures from the early days of gaming, such as the world’s first video game, Tennis for Two (1958), the first commercially available game, Computer Space (1971), the first home console, Magnavox Odyssey (1972), the first blockbuster arcade hit, Pong (1972), and the first handheld console, Microvision (1979).
Visitors can explore rare and unusual consoles such as the Atari Lynx, Vectrex, and Nintendo’s Virtual Boy. The museum also boasts the world’s largest playable Pac-Man and the smallest Tetris ever made.
The collection continues to grow with new exhibits, and with events, and guest talks, the museum is a must-visit for fans of gaming and interactive entertainment.
