We’d like to thank supporters of our Digital Fundraiser. @retrorewindca made a generous donation which has gifted many local families a visit who ordinarily wouldn’t be able to, while helping fund our museum plans for 2025. Thank you

We're all very humbled, and determined to make every £ count in creating the new space to preserve and restore as much gaming history as we can.
You can support us here 🙏: rmcretro.store/products/retr…

Today is Holly appreciation day!
Always working to keep kit running while we're making videos, no job too big or too small, Holly is a superhero around here. Keep up the wonderful work Holly, especially with keeping those CRT's alive.

Thanks to everyone who attended our sold out session today, including one visitor who found a type in listing he had published in Amstrad Action. Of course we asked him to sign it much to the bemusement of his son.
