Netmarble Game Museum Looks Back at the History of Korean PC Games
The Netmarble Game Museum, operated by the Netmarble Foundation, is unveiling a new permanent exhibition themed around 'PC games,' which marked the beginning of the Korean game industry. This exhibition was planned to retrace the footsteps of the PC games that once led the Korean game market and to shed new light on their historical value.
In the exhibition hall, visitors can encounter various PC games that enjoyed immense popularity from the 1990s to the early 2000s. With exhibits ranging from game software packages of that era to materials that offer a glimpse into the early game development environment, visitors can see at a glance how the Korean game industry has grown.
This exhibition does not stop at simply showcasing games of the past. It systematically explains the progression of how PC games, which can be considered the roots of the Korean game industry, evolved into today's mobile and online games. Through this, it is expected to provide a meaningful experience for both the younger generation who enjoy games and the older generation who hold memories of the past.
An official from the Netmarble Game Museum stated that through this permanent exhibition, they will strive to preserve the precious records of Korean games and continue to promote the value of game culture. Those who wish to personally experience the history of the Korean game industry are encouraged to visit the museum and explore these special records.
