Soviet Arcade Games: High Score = Capitalist Pig

Morskoi Boi


The one thing you need to know about Soviet arcade games from the 1980s is that high scores were not permitted.  You could win enough point to earn a free game, but once the final tune played, your digital achievement faded in to a collective oblivion.  You can relive the glory days of Soviet games at the Museum of Soviet Arcade Games.  Some games, such as Morskoi Boi (Sea Battle) can now be played online, saving you the 15 Kopek coin rattling around in your desk drawer.
