Ian's Retro Museum
Collecting Retro ■

Retro collections

When there is more than one device from a manufacturer, they are all displayed in this room on a single page with a link to the dedicated page for each exhibit

So if you are wondering how many Binatone PONG consoles I have which include the sticker "You will be a superstar with Binatone TV Game" or what broken Commodore machines I have then you can find out below.

I was never a superstar even though I have most, if not all the Binatone Pong consoles in the museum

Also the games and software which were picked up with all the different versions of the computers or the consoles in the museum but can run on them all are all grouped together on one page as well, so if you're wondering if I have the original Dizzy game for the Spectrum, or Sonic the Hedgehog for the Mega Drive, or even Bart Vs The Space Mutants for the Amiga 500, you can find out below. Spoiler: Yes

You can even find out how many copies of the Horizons Software Starter Pack I have for the Spectrums

Three, I seem to have three of them!

Hardware collections



Many computer and console manufacturers (or importers) didn't stop at just the one machine, they went on to make upgraded versions or even completely new and incompatible models based on different architecture
So this is where I group all the computers, consoles, and accessories that are shown in the museum which are made or sold by the same company such as Binatone, Commodore, or Nintendo

• Binatone
• Grandstand
• Videomaster
• Prinztronic
• Radofin
• Acetronic
• Commodore
• Sinclair
• Apple
• Atari
• Nintendo
• Sega

More pages which are related to the collections of hardware above, including a comparison of the Vic 20, C64, and C16 breadbin cases and a slideshow of some of the different machines from the museum

• Commodore Breadbin Comparisons
• Prepare for Computers

Software collections



Where the museum has multiple variations of gaming hardware which have their own dedicated pages, but can run the same software, that software is shown together here, as it may have originally come to the museum included with one of the machines, or another, or by itself
Examples would be the Commodore 16 and Plus 4 or the Sinclair Spectrum and all of its later versions

• Sinclair Spectrum, Plus, +2, and +3
• Commodore 64, 64c, and 128
• Commodore 16 and Plus 4
• Atari 800 XL and XE
• Atari ST
• Amiga 500 and 500 Plus
• Desktop PC
• Sega Master System and Master System 2
• Sega Mega Drive and Mega Drive 2
• Nintendo GameBoy and GameBoy Color
• Nintendo DS and DS Lite
• Sony Playstation and PSone
• Sony Playstation2 and PlayStation2 Slim
• Microsoft Xbox 360, 360 S, and 360 Elite
• VTech Smile

The dark area

I hope you all find this as interesting and as nostalgic as I do.

And if you do, why not check out the next room in my retro museum... Computers

Special thanks to my long-suffering partner Denise for putting up with all this "nonsense".

No cats were unnecessarily annoyed during the creation of this site
