The Berlin Computerspiele (computer games) Museum originally opened in 1997 – but the new permanent exhibition tracking the evolution of computer games just opened in January and gives the museum a brand-new feel, really emphasizing all the old-school games. A special thing about this video is that the museum was actually suggested to me by several viewers. Then my friend Judith, who is the one featured in the video, recommended it and then Zoe posted stunning macro photos from the museum on the überlin Blog .

What draws them is Berlin’s legendary climate of tolerance, openness and experimentation infused with an edgy undercurrent that gives this ‘eternally unfinished’ city its street cred. But the times are a-changing, ever so slowly. As foreign investors snap up cheap real estate, the city’s famously low rents are evaporating, open lots are sprouting high-rise offices and ‘loft-living’ is becoming the new buzzword. Formerly gritty areas – that until recently made headlines for their high crime rates and low educational levels – are now firmly in the grip of gentrification. Changing circumstances Still, Berlin remains undeniably addictive. Like some hyperactive child, this dynamic capital hates standing still. Having adapted to changing circumstances so many times, it has made a virtue of reinventing itself. Berlin staged a revolution, was ruled by fascists, bombed to bits, ripped in …
