ctrl-alt-rees | Retro Gaming At The Retro Computer Museum - Family Days Out In Leicester! @ctrlaltrees | Uploaded June 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
At a loose end for a family day out in Leicester? The Retro Computer Museum (RCM) has a huge selection of vintage computers, games consoles, arcade machines and early 90s Virtuality VR machines to play with. You're also welcome to get hands on with their collection of over 40,000 items of boxed and loose software and games - more than enough to get your retrocomputing or retro gaming fix!
They also have a MASSIVE retro computer warehouse that reminded me of the infamous "Computer Reset" in Texas! That's more retro computing than you can shake a stick at 😅
I spent the day there recently and got to meet the founder Andy Spencer and some of his team of volunteers that help to run this registered charity, and learned all about their passion for documentation, preservation, and sharing their love for retro gaming history with everyone from school groups to families. Certainly well worth a visit and a fun day out.
