Having visited the Centre for computing history in Cambridge on Saturday I decided to continue driving up to Leicester to take good look at the Retro Computer Museum.
Retro Computer Museum Leicester
I’ll start with this statement, it’s totally different that Cambridge but in my humble opinion absolutely awesome. It’s like being inside a time machine and bringing dropped into the best every computer shop from the 1980’s and lucky for me it wasn’t such a shop otherwise I’d be completely out of money now.
Atari 800
There is a whole section with books, manuals and the best computer magazine collection I’ve ever seen. They even have a room with lounges so you can take a seat and read the books and magazines, just so awesome.
Besides great computers and consoles they also have a room of classic arcade cabinets and the best collection of arcade VR machines. All set to free play.
Arcade Machines
Ultra rare stuff as well, like this Amiga CD 1200. Might be the only that exists in the world.

Endless different machines, including this great example of the BBC model B complete with games ready to play.
