Thanks so much for making this Gordon it was such a nice day chatting with you and showing you around, and seeing how much you loved it means a great deal to me. Looking forward to meeting up again some day soon!

Lovely chat with Neil. He really is the nicest guy in the retro tech community. And such a hard worker, he deserves all his success.

Brilliant video, thanks Gordon and Neil. Wow, got a visceral response when that Electron popped up on screen

Magnificent that the stars aligned to make something like this sustainable for all parties involved. Love it.

I really liked your video/commentary about Neils Cave/Retro Museum. And I definitely agree, the the cave is a piece of love and passion. I'm looking forward to visit the cave this year as I'm forced from business to visit Gloucester. Going south to see the cave would be a welcome distraction....

Two of my favourite RU-vidrs! What a treat!

Wow...waves of nostalgia indeed.

That looks awesome! It´s great to have some tech history to touch and experience yourself.

8:16 glad you liked my collection of handheld games I lent to Neil, most came from car boot sales in the late 90s & 2000's, I had fun collecting all the games I could never afford as a kid in the 80s. Before handing them over last October I carefully took each one apart and cleaned them down to their individual buttons & switches to make them look like new after a decade of gathering dust on my shelves.

OMGOSH that place looks amazing! It’s phenomenal that people came together to create something so fun 🤩

This, and your Arcade Archive videos are great Gordon, thanks for doing them and putting so much effort in! Dinosaurs rule!

brilliant gordon you helped me out many years ago choosing my first DSLR great to see you again

It’s such an amazing project they have going on, just wish it was a little closer to me

That looks like a nice place to spend time. Great attention to detail.

Thank you Gordon for making this video. I had no idea you were filming this mini-documentary, complete with an interview with Neil when we were there. Now I have a video to show to people where I went, filmed on the very same day that I was there. 😄 One thing to note is that while I've enjoyed looking at all the systems you've pointed out, I'm more nostalgic for the 16 bit era in the 90s, and there was plenty to enjoy from that era for me as well - from the usual suspects to exotic devices such as the X68000, CD-i, 3DO, LaserVision, Amstrad Mega PC and so much more. I've spent the whole day in the Cave, and am still longing to go back - too bad it's quite the trip for me, as I live in Munich and travelled there with a friend for the Cave. It was a brilliant weekend, since we've also really enjoyed Bath and the Cotswolds.

This is so awesome! Reminds me of Classic Game Room on RU-vid but sooo much more vintage which is awesome! I love seeing this kind of stuff. Absolutely on the must visit list. Thank you so much for sharing this!

Great video! And great museum indeed! A piece of art and love!

So nostalgic. Thanks for taking back in time.

A great video - I really enjoyed this. Thanks!!

Great stuff! There's a less sophisticated and rather scruffier version of something similar in Hunts Valley, Maryland, near me. Great to see people preserving history!

I have a Coleco Pacman, AstroWars, plus some of the game watch series like Donkey Kong duel screen, Pinball, Popeye, Oil Panic, The blue Tommytronic 3D and alot more.

Lovely! :) I am one of Neil:s Patreon supporters so I am a small part of the success!

Amazing place - need to visit someday :).

Hi Gordon, great video, must visit. Have you ever been to the Centre for Computing History in Cambridge? They have a lot of retro stuff as well.

I grew up on the Apple //e and //c (and to a lesser extent the IIgs) - my experience is a bit different than a lot of retro types. But I started on a lot of retro stuff when it was still new - and just stuck with it while it became old.

a time machine for all of us 50+ 🙂

Looks incredible, though if I visited I might want a paramedic and psychiatrist on hand in case of hyperventilation or just a full-on reverie-induced breakdown

This looks great. There’s a very good computer games museum in Berlin as well. Maybe they should have a twinning arrangement. :-)

puckmonster!! wohooo

Where is this place? Stroud?

Is just me, or he looks different in front of Gordon's lens?
