VGHM opened an exhibition about Croatian gaming history

The Video Game History Museum in Zagreb today opened a new exhibition to the public titled “Croatian Video Game History (1984–2004)”, which explores the historical development and significance of the Croatian video game industry. For the first time, the beginnings of computing and video game development in Croatia are presented in a systematic, museum-oriented way, covering the period from the earliest days through the early 2000s.

The exhibition documents the transition from hobbyist projects to commercial titles and the first international successes. It is the result of many years of research, archival collection, interviews with creators, and the reconstruction of nearly lost games and forgotten authors.

The exhibition is thematically divided into five sections, beginning with the Multimedia Center (MMC), whose classrooms were the birthplace of the first domestic computer games, developed by enthusiasts and talented programmers. The exhibition also covers , the first Croatian software exporter, and the creation of early domestic video games such as , , and . It further presents the origins and development of , the longest-running Croatian game development studio, internationally known for the franchise. The final section is dedicated to specialized magazines and gaming television shows, which played a crucial role in promoting video games during that era.
