The museum is north to the Vatican, far from the tourist attraction, and located in something like a small community center - which means you must travel there by public transportation.
We visited such a museum in Berlin (which was great) , so we could compare.
We arrived in the evening, the place was infested with mosquitos ( all 4 of us got our blood sucked). Most of the computers/machines were turned off - as far as I can remember, only a few machines worked. The place had maybe 5 other visitors, and the worked were busy installing what seemed to be VR hardware.
It might be (and hopefully it is) better today, but a year ago it was very disappointing and a waste of time.

Unfortunately, we cannot recommend this museum at all. The exhibits on display there could not be assigned to a specific time period. There was no clear presentation of specific manufacturers (such as Nintendo, PlayStation, or similar), nor was there a classification of the exhibits into the corresponding decades. The rooms were very poorly lit, extremely dusty and dirty, and most of the video game stations that were set up didn't work. There was a games fair taking place at the same time as our visit, and some of the exhibits were taken to it. However, the remaining exhibits were mostly broken and/or very rancid. My son and I are very fond of video games and were actually looking forward to the museum. Unfortunately, we were completely disappointed. The entire structure should ideally be divided into different decades (60s, 70s, 80s, etc.). This would give you a much better understanding of the development of video games.

Wasn't sure what to expect after reading reviews but I honestly loved this place. If we hadn't had plans to visit other places in Rome I would still be in playing Metal Slug 2.
Fantastic and could see my journey though gaming here and when I started with Orange box.
If in Rome and you fancy something slightly different totally recommend and they have a big daddy statue. I know they have some impressive statues here in Rome but to me this was extra special.

10 euros per person for a 24 hour ticket.
It's far from everything else touristic, and not worth the trip.
It's in a cave (but not a cool-gaming-cave) and it's not well organized.
Sure, you can play arcade and see a few old games. That's fun. But that's it.

Very pleasant experience! Museum known thanks to groupon through which I purchased the ticket! I was there yesterday and it was all very nice and interesting...a nice dive into the past with the first Play Stations and so much more! Rich and well organized museum, the experiential game in the blue room was also very nice! Nice guys, helpful and friendly :-)

Something a bit different to do when in Rome, especially if you have any gamers in the family. My son, and husband, had a ball here. Lots of different games and a VR to try out (some worked, some not great at working), but that didn't deter them, or me - yes I will admit to smashing my total at Space Invaders!! Good display of older models too and having to explain to my son what some of them were ... Not too far a walk after taking the metro to the closest stop as per the directions on the Vigamus' website.

I was fortunate to help commemorate the Videogame Museum in Rome (VIGAMUS) - this is a must stop for retrocomputing fans who want to see museum quality computers from the 1970s and 80s when home computing and video games were created. Italy has one of the world's largest retrocomputing networks - surprisingly, the collectors are all in their 20s, 30s and 40s and their collections are amazing...Atari, Commodore, Apple, Nintendo and much more is featured in the museum.
The young team who created and manage the museum are constantly coming up with interesting events like a "zombie game" weekend and other events. They are enthusiastic, eager and fun.
If you ever had a home computer, in the 70s, 80s or 90s, you'll feel right at home here. They have displays in English as well as Italian and it's definitely a quirky and unexpected treat if you happen to be in Rome. If you want to see photos of their activities, you can visit the VIGAMUS Facebook page.

They have some solid pieces of collection in there, but what...a...mess.
First of all, it's really small.
The collection is badly organized, consoles and computers are put in some random order behind glass.
It's lacking a ton of video games history, and it really emphasizes on very old computers and consoles (C64, vectrex, Atari, etc...)
A lot could be done to put more documentation, and enlighten that nice collection they have here.
I've been to several video games museums in different countries, and many had that "passionate vibe".
I didn't feel it here.
Side-note :
On Tuesday and Thursday, they advertise virtual reality.
The reality : a small room with one occulus rift on which you can try a 3min ride or a psVR on with you can play a quick game of beat saber. Why not.
My girlfriend had never tried virtual reality so she was excited to try it for the first time.
She tried a 3min gunfight scene, and after that I asked the staff guy if she could try the rollercoaster.
He refused ("one ride per person only"), which I could easily understand if the museum was full, but it was absolutely empty and nobody was waiting (we were like 6 people total in the whole museum).
It was sad to see someone working in a business that should be about passion that wasn't wanting to transmit that passion to someone excited by the novelty.
I was expecting a "video game museum", it was a disappointment.
If you are just expecting the ability to play some arcade machines, then it's ok then.

My 9 years old son was insisting to visit the video game museum thus we arrange as per his wish.
Museum is located far away from the centre thus you need taxi to find it. Place is very small thus is not considered as museum in my opinion.
People that operating the place in my opinion are not showing any interest to help you or to explain you anything for the place.
You are free to play the video games but some of them are not working!
I even ask to arrange for me a taxi by the time we were leaving and they told me that they can not help!!

- There was a great variety of video games actually able to play there, from old C64 games up to current gen games.
- Loved the write ups about some of the stuff they had on display.
- Great variety of gaming memorabilia and consoles. Enjoyed the fact that they had a virtual boy of all things.
- The VR room was a blast. The employee that was there with us, Dairo, was very friendly and helpful when it came to the VR system. He was also great talking to and conversing with. You could tell he had a great passion for what he was showing us!
- Very much enjoyed the Fix it Felix Jr and Space Invaders arcade machine.
- If anything it was a tad small but I can't complain as they put so much into that small space.

Buonasera,praticamente il Vigamus oltre ad essere un museo e anche divertimento per tutte le età, per i più piccoli ,per i più giovani e per i più grandi e si può stare anche tutto il giorno pagando solamente l'ingresso.

Ciao, ormor2017. Cosa desideri sapere su questa attrazione?
Buongiorno, devo organizzare una festa per una ragazza che compirà 12 anni novembre. Vorrei sapere se e come prenotare.
Invitando la sua classe vorrei conoscere i costi e le attività previste per questa fascia di età. Grazie

Non so se è possibile prenotare eventi al VIGAMUS, ma il sito ufficiale ha una pagina per contattare i responsabili. Nella stessa pagina è presente il numero telefonico.
