RCM Gaming Event - May 31st 2009
Just to let you know - our latest open day went down very well - just under the 100 visitors! From the feedback so far everybody enjoyed themselves. A huge thank you to everybody who helped set up and organise this and also to my wife Linda for putting up with my mad ideas! Hopefully see you at our next event in November OR if you are a member, our event in August - please see forums for further information.
Item Posted: 2009-06-12 05:35:16About the Retro Computer Museum . . .
The aim of RCM is that we want to open a Retro Computer/Console Museum to the public, a very much hands on museum where people can play the machines that started the home computer/gaming explosion. The museum currently owns just over 125 different systems, along with some duplicates too which takes us to over 200 systems. We have a thriving forum online but unfortunately due to the economic climate this is how the museum will be stoppping for the time being, although we recently managed to get some premises for storing the machines.
We rely on donations of systems and sometimes monetary donations along with ticket sales and merchandise to survive and of course our forum members support us any way they can. We are currently cataloging every machine, peripheral and games etc that we have and will be updating the website accordingly.
Donations
Just to let people know that are just browsing our site, we do accept donations of old systems, whether it be working or not, anything from old computers to consoles etc. Please get in touch via the contact form which can be found at the top of this page. You could also join our forums which will allow you to post any ideas or suggestions.
Thank you for your time
Andy, Linda and the other Administrators of RCM
