We spent the last week in Cambridge and I had to of course visit while
my better half went shopping. Relatively small but I still managed to
spend over three hours there, looking at the various computers (many of
which I'd never heard of) and playing some games. So Bomber Jack on the
Specky 48k, Drop Zone on the C64, Xenon on the Atari ST (I forgot how
much I loved this game), Pong on Binatone and Centipede on an arcade
machine plus some others.

If you want a more hands-on experience (albeit smaller and more
focused on home PCs and gaming devices) there's also the RMC Cave in
Chaldford.

This one does have a lot of hands on experience (playing games) and is a mix of home computers, dedicated games machine (arcade and consoles) and more historic content.

They also seem to have a focus on the educational side so they have a small lab set-up where you can try you hand at programming on BBC micros. The Megaprocessor is part of that as it helps explain what goes into a computer. Oh and you can play Tetris on it as well.

 Are any of the BBC micros attached to motors?
