this. I was at some IT show in Manchester which had a stand from the National Museum of Computing just up the road. BBC Micro and a copy of original Elite. Clean and Harmless in Lave. Took me back instantly nearly 30 years to the sound of whirring floppy discs and vector graphics. So many hours lost playing this.

And they had an Atari 2600. Best things in the show by miles... 🙂

plenty of beebs (and other) 8-bit toys to play with.
