Filed under: Technology, News from Serbia

(NewsNibs) - A new museum located in Belgrade offers a unique opportunity for tech enthusiasts and the general public to embark on a tactile journey through the history of computing and gaming technology. The museum, situated on Bulevar Vojvode Bojovića Street, welcomes visitors who want to discover and interact with an array of retro devices, including vintage computers and gaming consoles from bygone eras. Open on weekdays from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., the noteworthy feature of this establishment is that it provides free access to all its exhibits.

This initiative by the company Yandex allows not only for exhibition viewing but also for hands-on experiences, giving visitors, especially children, the chance to physically feel and touch items that have been pivotal in the evolution of the IT industry. By doing so, these significant pieces of IT history are preserved from being forgotten.

Among the notable pieces on display are legendary computers such as the Commodore 64, Amiga 500, ZX Spectrum, and the Apple iMac G4. The museum also features a special place for the Galaksija, a home computer developed in 1983 by Voja Antonić during the era of Yugoslavia. It utilized the Z80A microprocessor, came equipped with a 6 KB RAM, used an ordinary cassette recorder for external data storage, and could connect to a standard television for a monitor.

Gaming consoles that defined the 1980s and 1990s are also showcased, including the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), Sega Mega Drive, and the original PlayStation. Those visiting will have the opportunity to enter commands into computer prompts or play legendary games such as Super Mario, Sonic, Doom, and others, experiencing firsthand the devices that have shaped modern digital entertainment.
