    Unique and unforgettable experience
    It was an amazing experience! I was very excited about the visit to begin with, but this museum even exceeded my expectations! We were first given a presentation of some of the items in the collection which very interesting and fun thanks to our great host and guide, Nikolas (apologies if I misspelled it). Then we just spent the rest of the time playing as we pleased on all sorts of consoles and computers ranging from old to super old, re-living the "gaming experience" of the past in a truly immersive and authentic way. What other museum would let you do that? We even had a small LAN party! I would absolutely recommend it to anyone even remotely interested in technology or games! PS: It's not very easy to find as it's located in a very unassuming underground passage. Really a hidden gem ;)

    A retro blast from the past!
    Traveling from Seattle to Warsaw we were so excited to find this gem of a museum! The staff were very helpful and my 8 year old son and I had the chance to play a huge variety of retro games together. We stayed several hours and by the time we left, the place was packed with kids and adults all having a great time. Every game and console was in working order and they had a comfortable 80's style lounge at the end of the museum where you could browse old computer magazines from decades past. My son ended up coming back two more times with his friends in Warsaw before leaving the city. I highly recommend stopping by!

    Great place for fans of games and technology
    A fun place to spend an afternoon, alone or with someone. They have a wide variety of consoles including some rarities like Vectrex or Philips CD-i, as well as home computers and Windows PCs. The game selection is spot on, lots of games you remember from your childhood if you grew up in Poland in the 90's - even ones that don't make it to "top 10" lists on the internet :) They also have a section with lots of old computer and video game magazines, unfortunately I didn't have time to check them out - maybe another time. Of course you can emulate the games or get them to run on a modern computer, but it's easier to visit the museum where everything is set up and you can view them on a CRT monitor, like we did back in the day. The place is easy to miss if you don't live in the area because it's in an underground passage.

    A dive in to the past
    Being a super passionate of retro-machines (I'm the author of Combian64 and Dosbian), I went to this museum with my wife while we were on holiday in Warsaw, what to say... I strongly recommend to visit it, it's like to dive in to the past. You can find all the computers / consoles from the very first ones to more recent. You can try any machine you like, they are all working and kept in a very good conditions. The guy who welcomed us was very kind and prepared and very willing to answer any question. There's also a small corner where you can buy retro-objects, I personally bought a mug of Sensible Soccer because I'm big fun of this Amiga game , by the way, the museum got also an Amiga 600 signed personally bu John Hare with the caption "Stay Sensible". If you are in Warsaw and you love retro-computers, this museum is a must visit!

    Great pastime for computer geeks
    Great museum! They have a lot of items, including Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum with its clones (including the Polish one), a wide array of consoles, iMac G4 (highlight for me), iMac G3 and, of course, old PCs. You can play on most of these computers, I played around with iMac G4 and then played one match of Warcraft III TFT with the computer on Windows XP. You pay once and you can spend there the whole day

    It is located in underground crossing
    It wasnt easy to find via maps, because it is in the underground crossing, and can be reached on foot only. You have to park somewhere near the fuel station Orlen and go on foot downstairs. Nevertheless this museum has a very authentic atmosphere offering many models of past computer gaming sets which come from our childhood. We can remember ourselves and show to our kids and also play together our childhoods favorite computer games on numerous TV sets or Desktop PCs. There are many kinds of pocket electronic games as well. The exhibition is interactive, you can play and try all of the gaming sets. The hosts are very nice and willing to help and overall experience is very well. The ticket is for the whole day, so you can go out, get something to eat/drink and come back until closing.

    Revisit your childhood memories, or make new ones with never-before-seen consoles and games
    Whether you live in Warsaw or you are just visiting the city for a couple of days, do make some time to visit this place: it is amazing! For me, it brought back many valuable memories from my childhood. You can enjoy the visit on your own, or with friends. They have a huge collection of consoles and videogames, which work perfectly. Some of these you have probably never seen outside the Eastern bloc, so it's also a chance to try consoles or games you have never played before. The place is very neat, clean, and it has a friendly atmosphere. I also enjoyed talking to Mikołaj, who is part of the staff, as he is very knowledgeable and friendly. He makes your stay there very heart-warming and welcoming. I particularly appreciated his helpfulness toward non-Polish speakers like me and my friends.

    Superb
    If you’re a big fan of retro consoles, 70s-80s games and history of video game industry then this place is must have for you in Warsaw. Despite the fact the Warsaw has many museums, this one is specific place. Where you can find a museum where you can play with its exhibits? Where you can find a museum located in the underpass and decorated with Space Invaders enemies made from old diskettes? If you really love games - you have to visit this museum!

    Fun and Interactive!
    We had a really great time here trying the big collection of old game systems. They have a Philips CDi and an old comidor 64. The host is really knowledgeable about the systems and can help you switch games or controllers if you are unfamiliar with the system. He also speaks great English and told us about the history of some of the systems. All in all a fantastic place to visit. My visitor was short on time, so we didn't get to stay as long as we would have liked. I live in Warsaw so i will definitely be back.

    Great and fun experience
    In our case the visit to the museum was organized by the the employer. Initially I thought that with 20-30 people we would need to wait in a line to play something. But this wasn’t the case at all: everyone got a chance to try all games and everyone had fun. Our guide Nicolas told us about different systems and shared interesting stories. It was clear that he’s passionate about what he’s doing, and this made the visit even more enjoyable. Photos were allowed and I captured some to show my parents later. I’ve played many games and had a chance to try out consoles I hadn’t seen before. This was very fun experience. Definitely recommend visiting!

Had a lot of fun! We came for a Halloween special night by accident, played a lot of games and spend a lot of time there as well! It was like being 6 years old again and playing the games for the first time.
The employees were also really great, they knew all of their stuff. Can only recommend, definitely go here if you have the time.
