Retro Computer Museum Company Information
General information
The Retro Computer Museum in Leicestershire, UK
The Retro Computer Museum is a registered charity dedicated to the benefit of the public for the preservation, display and public experience of computer and console systems from the 1960's onwards. Our charity registration no. is 1146912.
Our main focus is on systems that were in use in the home and schools rather than big computer systems and mainframes of early computer development. We have systems ranging from the early Pong consoles through to the Sega and Nintendo console wars and the home computers of the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64s and Amigas.
Our aim is to provide Retro Gaming and Computing events and access to retro computer equipment for educational visits and tours. We also offer Retro Gaming Birthday Parties for any age group - young or old!
The Retro Computer Museum has held many Retro Gaming events of its own to date, including partnership events with Snibston Discovery Museum. The Retro Computer Museum has also made appearances at the 2010 Vintage Computer Festival at Bletchley Park, Abbey Pumping Station Hobbies and Pastimes Day, BBC Radio Leicester for the Sparks Childrens Charity and participating in the 2010 EuroCon event in Manchester with a
line-up of British computers.
The Retro Computer Museum relies mainly on donations from its members and visitors. We have had over 200 systems donated as part of our collection, along with numerous books, software titles, peripherals, magazines and brochures etc.
We appreciate any and all donations, no matter how small. We also accept broken machines and peripherals as these can be used to repair existing systems. Please contact us if you feel you have something we may be interested in.
