Horsham Museum Computer game exhibition

Seems strange to see computer game equipment in a museum – the stuff is only 30 years old.
I already own a lot of the items seen in the exhibition but would almost kill for the Coleco Vision system that was on display. It was all my son could do to hold me back from breaking the glass grabbing the kit and doing a runner !

This small exhibition is running in Horsham museum, West Sussex.

See some of the pictures here

Website seems unable to complete the registration request.

Here are a couple of articles that explain:

1. Why the display does NOT in fact have a better resolution than the human retina.

2. How much better the iPhone 4 display is than the 3GS
