Listening to this recording might transport us back to our tender childhood or adolescence, when playing in the video arcades. This one was not recorded in a real one, but in a recreation I found in an installation within an exhibit at Hamburger Bahnhof a couple of years ago. I spent some time playing there, of course (you can listen to it here). The sounds are unmistakable if one has visited one of those places ever before, I still remember some of those catchy 8bit tunes.
