Markus Krainer from Spittal has fulfilled his dream of opening a retro gaming museum in Vienna. He takes visitors back to the days of Pacman, Pong and David Hasselhoff.

The queue in front of the popular Haus des Meeres in Vienna is long - but some people change their minds, as another attraction has been beckoning for a few months now: a gaming museum under Carinthian aegis has been set up in a 700 square meter bunker right next to the Flakturm Zoo. Markus Krainer from Spittal is the master of hundreds of old games consoles, unopened video game packs, collector's figures and computer relics from the Amiga 500 to the Commodore C64.
