About

Thematic excursion will show how video games entered the everyday life of late USSR and 1990s Russia. Through the experiments of the first programmers, the global success of "Tetris" and the phenomenon of the Dendy console, participants will see familiar entertainments as documents of the era - testimonies of technological changes, new habits, and the birth of the domestic gaming industry. The excursion will guide participants through the museum exhibition and help connect gaming technologies with the history of the late 20th century. A separate topic will be "Tetris." Participants will understand why the seemingly simple mechanics turned out to be comprehensible to people in different countries and became a recognizable symbol of digital culture. Another important plot is related to the Dendy console. For 1990s Russia, it became a notable phenomenon that went far beyond the boundaries of a children's toy.
