Overview

Join a journey through computing history, featuring iconic machines from the 1960s through to the early 2000s — all functional and ready for you to experience (handle with care!). Play classic games, explore vintage software, and see how today's maker community is keeping retro technology alive with modern enhancements.

This year, they're excited to be hosted at Daramalan College, McCowage Hall in Dickson!

Expect all your favourite highlights from previous years — plus more!

There'll be interactive exhibits, Australian computing history, vintage and modern gaming consoles, music composition demos, and presentations covering the early days of computing right through to today's retro revival.
