I love 8-bit® - It’s the flying computer circus!
Soon in Kouvola!
Play and study
What were the games that played in the early computer age? How does a flight simulator work with a device that is 40 years old, has a millionth of the power compared to modern computers, it has black and white graphics and the games must be downloaded from a C-cassette?
This and much more fun is at the I love 8-bit® exhibition.
Authentic experiences of early digital culture are unique!
