Pensioner, and did this bring back memories. I was expecting a museum, but in reality, you go in and play on every console I've ever heard of for as long as you like. Machines are set up so as you play free for as long as you like.

Better than any arcade I have ever visited. Spent a few hours steeped in nostalgia and playing game from my childhood. The guys are wonderful and clearly so passionate about what they do, highly recommended!

An amazing experience curated by two of the nicest people you could meet! If you want to relive 80s, 90s and noughties gaming you will LOVE this place! My 11-yr old is now a Quake addict …

Lovely place. I came in the afternoon, and got a few games in. Any retro game or console you can think of... They have it. And the volunteers working there are very friendly.
