On Saturday 19 December 2009 we held our second Christmas games day, our first in our new home at Theatre Square. Some of the machines in use were Commodore 64, Wii, XBox, Spectrum, Gameboy, Dreamcast and Saturn. Games included Santa Claus Saves the Earth, Holiday Lemmings, The Snowman, The Grinch, and Polar Express. Younger visitors hunted through our displays to find the hidden Santas, and drew their favourite games characters.
Two of our volunteers are battling it out as Guitar Heroes.
The Museum has now closed and has gone into temporary storage. We are currently looking for a new home and will update this website with any new information. Watch this space.........
We are delighted to announce that the Museum will be reopening on Saturday 8th August in Swindon town centre. Our volunteers are now hard at working transforming what was previously retail units into one of the most exciting and original venues in Swindon. The museum will be located at 6-7 Theatre Square, a section of the town that has been designated a cultural area in Swindon's regeneration plan. We are very grateful to Swindon Borough Council for making these premises available and to all the people who have worked so hard to make this happen.

On Thursday 12th April 2007 the museum was delighted to receive a visit from HRH the Duke of Kent. After meeting the team of volunteers and representatives from museum sponsors Intel, the Duke was given a guided tour of the newly refurbished museum.
