Rainbow Arcade museum exhibition celebrates LGBTQ culture in gaming

A new exhibition has been installed in the Schwules Museum in Berlin, Germany to celebrate LGBTQ culture and history in video games. Titled "Rainbow Arcade", the new exhibit was designed by art director Nicolas Simoneau and co-curated by Schwules PR Jan Schnorrenberg, Professor and author Dr Adrienne Shaw, and German gaming journalist Sarah Rudolph.

Described by Schnorrenberg as "a love letter to games", Rainbow Arcade features a unique colour-coded layout, with each of the rainbow's colours representing a different facet of LGBTQ gaming culture. From Nintendo's Birdo to modern indie hits such as Butterfly Soup, the exhibition covers over 30 years of representation in gaming, including titles from as far back as the late '80s - such as mystery adventure Caper in the Castro.
