The Danish Spilmuseet, or “The Games Museum”, is seeking a new home for approximately 10,000 console and computer games, 4,000 arcade games and 1,400 arcade machines. “I’m pretty sure our arcade collection is the world’s largest,” museum boss Rune Keller said.
Among the museum’s arcade rarities is a functioning 1981 “Space Fortress” machine and a European edition of Nintendo’s “Sheriff” from 1979 – the first game with art by “Mario” and “Zelda” creator Shigeru Miyamoto.
