If you're ever in/near the south west of the UK you'll probably want to visit The Cave computer museum in Gloucestershire which is a hands-on experience where you can play on many many old computers & games consoles, as well as the Arcade Archive below it which is full of old arcade machines to play on.

The computing museum has several shelves full of my tabletop games I lent them at the end of 2022 which you can play on, including all 7 Tomytronic 3D games.

Their website is https://www.rmcretro.com/

Here's a visit video from someone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Fuzcd-D3d0

Awesome. I would love to visit.

I actually have high hopes of opening a historic, playable place like that one day.

Thanks for the post!

Only discovered it beginning of 2022 and felt I had to get involved somehow because it's less than 4 miles away, I was asked to lend them my tabletop games for people to play on which was fine, except they were all covered in a decade+ of dust & a lifetime of play so I took each one apart and cleaned them down to their individual switches & buttons, all looked like new afterwards.

Someone got a good photo of them on the shelves here https://www.flickr.com/photos/mrtomsworld/52931569499/in/album-72177720308619770/

I met the creator of Lemmings there in 2022 when he visited it and gave a talk about his involvement in the games industry - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8NL9Yb-zMw
