contribute to our archive?
The development of our archive is still in its early stages on an ongoing journey. Even though we currently have around 75,000 items in the archive, we are far from having every video game, accessory, and gaming system in existence.
Our goal for the future is to share our database here on the website, allowing everyone to see what is in the archive.
If you have something you’d like to sell or donate, please feel free to contact our Acquisitions Manager, Thomas Sunhede, at [email protected].
Thanks!
Right now we are especially searching for big collections of:
- 3DO
- Amstrad CPC 464
- Apple II
- Bandai Playdia
- BBC Micro
- Dragon 32
- Macintosh big box
- MSX
- PC big box
- Philips CD-i

Good question!
Why are we doing this??
For us at Embracer Games Archive, games are an important part of our shared history. Games are works of art that have influenced and inspired people and culture over the past decades. Our ambition is to be a small part of the greater work being done to preserve gaming history through our archive of physical games.
The inspiration for the archive originated from Embracer's CEO, Lars Wingefors, a seasoned professional in the gaming industry and a private collector himself. As both the game collection and the Embracer Group expanded, the concept emerged to establish an archive that would imbue the games within the collection with a more profound significance.
Being a patron of video games history, the goal of the archive is to be a part of the community that preserves and documents games history by collaborating with institutions, grass root movements, journalists, researchers, publishers and studios – not only for the Embracer group but for the whole industry. By doing so we promote and help build the heritage of games which is something that will benefit the entire games industry in the long run..
