The figures have told us that our event at Snibston was our best/busiest yet - over the two days we had over 270 people visiting us . . . excellent stuff indeed! Many thanks to everybody that came to support us :)

We will be posting further details of upcoming events shortly.

A bit more information for you  - Our new home is in a little Village called 'Heather' - fairly near to Coalville, Leicestershire . . . for those of you that have been to our 'Open Days' in Swannington - our new premises are about 4 miles away from that!

Dear Friends,

It is our very great pleasure in announcing that the Retro Computer Museum in Leicestershire now has a home.

It is a self contained building with enough room to show off a good number of our lovely retro machines and to also store our extensive collection of other hardware and related software.

It has taken us three years to get to this major milestone but it has been well worth the hard work. Thank you for your support over the last three years and hopefully your continued support for the future - Further details will follow shortly.

One final point . . . it is The Retro Computer Museums 3rd Birthday today too! :)

Regards

The RCM Team

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 150 different systems, along with some duplicates too which takes us to over 250 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 now have premises for a workshop and the storing of 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.

You can now also contact us on 07519 816283 for any further information.

Our first blog entry . . .

We (as in Myself, Karl, Richard and Stuart) have been at our unit today testing systems and moving around some more bits n bobs!
One of the systems tested was our Sega MasterSystem with 3D Glasses, after a bit of tweaking by me  - they work - very good 3D it is too! Space Harrier is just amazing!
Unfortunately one of our Sega Saturns has died!  Need to find out a replacement for that now! Another machine tested was our Sega Dreamcast - which worked great!

Still a few more systems to sort out before our May event! I will keep you posted . . .

Andy
