It all started with a 13-year-old boy selling used comic books from his home in Värmland, Sweden.
The story so far
For us, games are more than just games. It’s culture! It is something created by great people with creative ideas. By building a large archive of physical games, we want to preserve and tribute the games culture for a long period of time.
Embracer Games ArchiveVideo games are great, but for Embracer CEO Lars Wingefors, it all began with used comic books. Growing up in the countryside and in need of cash, he started his first business when he was in primary school and ran Sweden’s largest used comics business by the time he was 15. That’s when he took notice of some second-hand Nintendo games and that’s when everything changed.
