The 1980s home computing boom saw children learning to program, many wanting to create computer games.
#TheCodeShow is a travelling computing museum visiting UK schools. Our vision is to celebrate this historical period of discovery and innovation.

From retro gaming to coding in BASIC and a Sinclair C5! 💻🚗
The CODE Show takes pupils on a hands-on journey through Britain's computing history. A brilliant way to bring computing and local history to life.

Remember the old woodwork room ,metalwork room, Poly Technic institutions etc ? There’s a nettle that needs grasping and it starts way before Yr10. We should be broadening and embedding creativity in a National Curriculum starting at Primary.

Made in Sheffield
DESOLATOR for the MSX (Gremlin Graphics/1986).
Very fast side-scrolling space shooter, among the best and most polished shoot 'em ups for MSX1. It's European🇬🇧 and it is not a port (it's exclusive).
It's heavily inspired by Defender and is shown here at 50Hz, but we played it back then at 60Hz because it was how our MSX🇧🇷ran - so, extra challenging because it goes even faster.

It’s been a year since our children spoke up, went to Parliament and delivered a letter to Downing Street.
They didn’t get a reply.
The stink in our town is worse than ever.
Classrooms smell, the kids don't want to play out and it's affecting the mental health of so many people.
This is their message to the Prime Minister.
Please share.

40 years ago, Commodore announced the Amiga 1000 would hit stores on May 9th but didn't say which stores and how much it would cost. It turned out to be a tiny number of dealers and hugely expensive. It was basically a stopgap until the Amiga 500 finally arrived 12 months later.
