Had fun at the Retro Computer Museum today in Leicester UK. Plenty of hands-on retro computers and consoles as well as an arcade area too.

Friendly volunteers who obviously were passionate about the collection and helping out there.

Really worth a visit!

Photograph of a golden Amiga 500 computer displayed on a white shelf next to a framed certificate. The certificate, issued by Commodore, confirms this unit (serial number 090791) as the one millionth Amiga ever produced. It is signed by David J. Pleasance, Managing Director of Commodore Business Machines (U.K.) Ltd. The Amiga features a special metallic finish, commemorating its milestone production status.
Photograph of a grey Atari Falcon030 computer on display, flanked by an Atari 260ST on the left and an Amstrad CPC model on the right. The Falcon030 features a distinctive diagonal vent design, dark grey function keys (F1–F10), and a full-size keyboard with a numeric keypad. The Atari and Falcon030 logos are visible above the keyboard. The Amstrad machine to the right bears a visible signature, adding a personal collector's touch. All three computers are arranged on a white shelf.
