If you happen to visit Stockholm this summer, be sure to check out the arcade exhibit at the Tekniska Museet (http://www.tekniskamuseet.se/1/start_en.html) (National Museum of Science and Technology) for a nice exhibit with lots of arcade cabs and classic videogame consoles. This is the Barbican international enterprises touring exhibition "Game On" (http://www.barbican.org.uk/bie/game-on) that has visited major cities around the world.
The pictures below show a part of the arcades, you'll love how they displayed the classic consoles too. Apart from Pong and the two Computer Spaces everything is playable (although you can play a cool projection version of Pong on the wall).
Here's (http://www.tekniskamuseet.se/download/18.2e95d32c142765b9f1cb8/1385022167600/Current+Games+List.pdf) a list of what's shown, absolutely worth a visit. If you ever wanted to visit Stockholm -a GREAT city by the way - now's the time! :)

Been there twice (the City, not the 2.0 exhibition).
Very easy travel even by ryanair.
If you go...take the June date with symphonic Videogame concert.
