An absolute gem of a place - A wonderful place. All the retro computers are set up connected to TVs/monitors and are available to play with. We were greeted and given a little tour when we arrived,... read more which was much appreciated. My youngest son wasn't so sure when we first arrived (I want to play Minecraft!) but by the end of the visit he was delightedly playing Chuckie Egg on an Amstrad CPC 464. We will definitely be back - we only got as far as the house in Grannie's Garden on the BBC Micro and want to see what happens after that...

  Great time!  - Really good time as always, friendly staff and being able to play with all of the old tech is brilliant! My teenagers also enjoyed getting involved.

  As an avid fan of computer games and a player since way back, I was pleased to discover this little gem on my doorstep. The building is a very unassuming... read more place in the middle of an industrial estate, but then what does that matter as it is the content that appeals. Your entry price gets you unlimited play on any machine of your dreams. The staff is very friendly and knowledgable. Quick to help you out or even help you find your favourite blast from the past. They have consoles dating back to the invention of consoles, as well as several arcade rigs set up with literally thousands of titles for you to play. They also have all the home (and school!) computer systems that you might remember from growing up. I asked to play 'Grannies Garden' as I remembered it from school, and they found it and booted it up for me. Even when there was a problem in the game, one of the staff members was able to edit the code and fix it for me there and then, which was fantastic. There were loads of different offerings and a regular flux of people though most, like myself, had clearly decided to install themselves in the place for the day. It was definitely worth a trip, and I will be going back. The visitors were a mix of adults like myself and children who were enjoying the gaming of the past for the first time.

  Fab afternoon out with my eight and eleven year olds. Amazing array of games to play with informative and helpful volunteers on hand. This place is a real gem.... read more Highly recommend.

  My 9 year old is a huge retro fan and loves the 80's style games consoles. This was the best day out for us! I highly recommend visiting the museum.... read more It brings back so many gaming memories from that era and the best part is you get to try out the systems and play. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful who made the experience even better.

  I could have spent a lot longer here but only had a couple of hours to kill. The varied computers from over the ages are very nostalgic, as is... read more the games library. The arcade machines with multiple games are great fun as well. The limited number of visitors allowed means you're unlikely to have to wait to play on any of the systems.

  As a fan of Retro Gaming and Computers this place seemed like the perfect place to visit and indeed it was. chock full of machines to play on. Magazines and... read more books to peruse and a game library of boxes an cassette tapes to reminisce over. It was a great morning out. The staff I spoke to were very friendly and I could have easily have spent most of the day chatting to them. Definitely a place I want to revisit in future.
I would say give yourself a good few hours if you want to have a good look round and play on everything. But do visit if retro computing is your thing. =)
