For us, games are more than just games. Its 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.
My name is David Boström and I´m the CEO of the Embracer Games Archive. I have been given the honourable task to lead the work of building up this unique Games Archive. Imagine a place where all physical video games, consoles and accessories are gathered at the same place. And think about how much that could mean for games’ culture and enabling video games research. This journey has just been started and we are at an early stage. But already now, we have a large collection to take care of at the Embracer Games Archive’s premises in Karlstad, Sweden. A team of experts has been recruited and will start building the foundation for the archive. At Embracer Games Archive, we believe that games carry a heritage worth celebrating and safeguarding for the future. Our goal is clear – We want to archive and save as much of the video games industry as possible.
Embracer Games Archive is actively seeking video games that are not yet in the archive, both hardware and software. If you have a collection that you want to sell or believe may be of interest to us, please contact our Acquisitions Manager, Thomas Sunhede. Please include photos, lists of the objects, as well as your valuation.
We currently don’t have an official wanted list, but in the future, we will post individual games we’re on the look for or specific platforms for which we are looking to complete. In the future, you will also be able to access our database more easily to see what is in the archive.
