A museum that showcases the history of computers and gaming consoles has opened in Cambridge, England.<\/p>\n

“We’ve got loads of games to play, all on big old 25 inch TVs,” said director Jason Fitzpatrick said.<\/p>\n

“All of the machines are here to be used, it’s not much fun to just look at a machine sat there doing nothing.”<\/p>\n

The museum has over 80 working systems which are available to be played and used, such as the Nintendo TV-Game 6 and Famicom systems.<\/p>\n

“On the computing side we’ve got lots of different home computers of the era and some machines which date back to the 60s,” said Fitzpatrick.<\/p>\n

“Such as the great big machines with the reels of tape like in the James Bond films.”<\/p>\n
