Ian's Retro Museum
Places of Retro

A look at the many retro computer museums and shops I've been to

And as I've been to most parts of the UK, I've been to a lot of them

From the small games exchange shops to large retro computer game museums, I am trying to visit them all

All entry prices shown was correct on the day I visited and may have increased since

There are 5 retro places in the museum

Retro Game Shops



A list of all the games exchange or retro game shops I have personally been to and would recommend you go to as well

The Bristol Video Game Museum



Photos from my visit to the Bristol Video Game Museum on the 27th May 2022, Unfortunately this has since closed due to, as they themselves put it, "landlord issues". Although they are looking for new premises to operate from

The site is now the Playback arcade which offers free play for a flat fee on a range of arcade machines and game consoles

The National Centre For Computing History

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

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

Or to quicky jump to another room of the museum, click or tap on Rooms at the bottom of this screen

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
