It's a pretty cool place that I have been too. I love the fact that it let's kids know and see what kids used to do for fun in the... read more 90's. I think that this place would open our kids eyes even though I am not a father of kids but since kids have phones glued to their faces these days this seems like a very nice break to take.

  The Retro Compter Museum is a great museum for adults and childeren alike. For adults who grew up in the 70s, 80s and 90s there is a lot to recognise... read more and to learn. For childeren the retro games are fun and the information fascinating. They even got to try old telephones and typewriters 😉 The staff is enthusiastic and friendly.

  Retro computer museum is a fantastic place to revisit past computers and gaming systems. Andy and the team are very friendly and helpful. All systems are available to be played... read more and not in glass cabinet like most museums.

  Great day out with our grandson. We played on consoles from our youth and he lived all the old stuff. The guys were really patientwith all his questions and... read more spent ages with him explaining everything.I would recommend a visit, you'll come back again and again

  A first for me - not being very computer friendly let alone ever having played computer games (which I have never been attracted to) - however I visited with... read more five other friends as one was celebrating his 40th birthday and was the more experienced of the group.... what a fun few hours.
Being a novice, the enthusiastic chaps that volunteer there (and younger 'experts') were on hand to encourage and explain and nothing was too much trouble to help with our enjoyment. We all had a fabulous time.
The variety and collection of games to play, as well as the collection in their library and publications, is a credit to them.
They definitely deserve some support with funding as looking at the variety of ages there (and it was pretty busy) and how much everyone was enjoying themselves, they rely on the funds raised from entrance fees, so would be a shame if they ever had to loose what they provide historically (with the earlier computer equipment and games) as well as great entertainment.
Well done chaps and thank you !

  Amazing place! Don’t know what I’d expected, but, this place exceeded them. So much stuff - so many that I’d even forgotten about, or had never even heard of!... read more

  A group of five of us - including my son, daughter and their cousin and boyfriend visited this wonderful place and enjoyed both the atmosphere and the ability to play... read more on the old machines. For myself, I had an opportunity to play on some of the machines I'd only seen in magazines but never owned or used - such as the Sam Coupe and the Vectrex (a particular highlight)

The staff are great and the atmosphere is brill - like being in a giant gaming lounge with several play areas and some space to sit and have a cup to tea and a snack (at very cheap prices). We would like to go back some day!

  Our first visit here and not our last. Warm, welcoming with excellent coffee (and free Easter eggs). Our games mad son absolutely loved it as did my husband. Well worth... read more the trip from the Black Country. We will be back.

  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.
