Great family day out!! - What a great place to go!!! It was so much fun! Reliving the days of Pacman, Pong, guitar hero, super Mario Bros, Alex the Kidd, game boys and so much more! We spent nearly 3 hours gaming here and my tech obsessed child hasn't stopped talking about it!!

Excellent day out - Went for one hour, ended up spending 3 hours. My son and I both had a great time, an activity that was cross generational! Highly recommend an excellent experience for the both of us!

No need to blow the cartridge! - It was very good to remember all those old consoles. The exposition is well organised and the idea behind is amazing. Although, my kids under 12 years old didn’t appreciate it that much because they are used to the new technology.
Thank you for the experience!

Fabulous - Can't help but admire the enthusiasm and commitment that is paid to this often looked part of modern history. The collection and explanation of the older gaming systems is tremendous. After this you have the freedom to play a range of console and arcade games. Fabulous.
Staff are happy to exchange game cartridges and disks if required.

Highly recommend for a fun and nostalgic experience - Had a blast playing all the old school games and checking out the museum was cool too. The person running the place was charismatic and helpful. Would love to return when we are back in Perth. This trip has inspired us to purchase a Super Nintendo.

Nostalgic, informative and hands-on retro gaming museum for new, old and retired gamers - I really enjoyed my visit to this museum. It was a trip down memory lane. The museum charts the console industry from its beginning in the seventies to present day. There’s an informative narrative with each console on display.
There is a games area where you can play the consoles including space invaders on the original Atari 2600 console (the one with wood slats) and street fighter, Pac-Man and Donkey Kong on Arcade machines.
Highly recommend visiting this museum if you’ve ever played computer games.

Legend! - Amazing place. Really informative to read through the history of Atari and the good old days, and see so many console not only on display but up and running. It evoked great memories from when I was a kid. Thumbs up for who had the idea and set this up!
