For Computer and Video game history Freaks

Next time you come on up to the Snake Valley Astronomy Camps you may want to check out this museum. It is only about 10 minutes from the camp.

It only opened it's doors for the first time last weekend.

It is a Museum of Computers and computer games and consoles. The've got some great old stuff there! Certainly brings back memories.

Lol! I only dragged the Atari 2600 out of the cupboard last week to bring back some memories!
I still have my Sega Megadrive too.

I used a Commodore-64 emulator on the PC (a few years ago) to have a look at some old games and demos we created, back in the late 80's/early 90's.

ah the memories.

I had a FANTASTIC Dick Smith VZ-200 for my first computer. And my first games console was an Intellivision. Glad to see that made it in lol.

Clear skies,

I still have my Sinclair ZX Spectrum (1986) with its micro drive, silver paper printer, tape recorder and games in a desk draw which is under my 2 laptops and desktop pcs. The micro drive tapes also still work the last time I looked.

Until a month ago, my 1997 vintage 133mhz laptop was running TheSky, CCDSoft and LX200 in the obervatory and still had its orginal, never upgraded Windows 95 OS. You would have thought that a laptop should have lasted more than 9 years!
