You may remember Commodore, Spectrum, and certainly the Amiga for sure, but do you still remember the Atari and Amstrad? If not, don’t worry!
The Computer Museum of Kallio in Helsinki presents a travelling computer exhibition I love 8-bit®. It is a functional and interactive presentation in which entertainment is an essential part of the experience. You can play, test, and have fun with old favorites. I love 8-bit® is much more than just old computers in action, it is an emotional experience for entire generations.
The exhibition focuses on the computer culture revolution that began in the 1970s. At that time, computers became commonplace in homes and businesses, permanently changing everyday life. The computer culture of that era taught entire generations how to program and use computers in their own way. Were things better back then? Find out at the I love 8-bit® exhibition!
There’s again something new to marvel at The Computer Museum of Kallio in Helsinki! The museum-sponsored game “Miracle Boy in Dragon Land” for Atari ST was released in June 2026.
