This is an excellent museum. We went really to see the 80's computers and they didn't let us down, we loved playing on the computers of our childhood. There are also lots of other old computers and toys, and it was fscinating to see the development of computing over the years. The staff were friendly and generous with their time when we wanted to know more about some of the machines.
While the museum is on the smaller side, they really added as much as they could to showcase the best of the best from the good old days :) . You can try many of the computers, play some legendary games, and appreciate the technology that led to this very day. Just make sure you check the opening hours :) .
Great place to visit regardless of whether you are a geek or like me always worked in a computer environment....or you are just plain curious! Plenty of old hardware and a pleasure to be reminded of how Britain led the way in personal computers in the late 70s early 80s! Staff very knowledgeable and helpful and it was an enjoyable way to spend an hour or so. I love my diskette coasters and my 'Game Over' wristband which I purchased from the shop.
A great place to visit in Swindon that is very reasonably priced, an adult ticket is £5. There lots to see and plenty to do. For adults, there are lots of nostalgic exhibits that brought back many childhood memories. For children, it’s a great place to learn and see what the older generation used and played with. The staff are very knowledgeable. During my visit, Simon was able answer lots of questions and was very helpful.
What a great little museum! I was impressed by how many retro computing items they've managed to fit into such a small space, and the entry price was very reasonable. It was a nostalgic trip down memory lane with plenty of things to look at and interact with. The staff were especially wonderful—so welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable.
