Join us for the official opening of The Pump House with special guest RobSmithDev!
Rob Smith will be showcasing a selection of his latest gadgets and inventive creations, giving guests the chance to explore and experience them firsthand. Give your old disks a clean with the Disco Floppy Disk Cleaner, or test your reflexes with the Amiga-powered Whack-a-Disk game! Rob will also be giving a special talk during the day, offering a fascinating look behind the scenes at his inventive process, the inspiration behind his creations, and what he’s working on next.
The Pump House - our dedicated YouTube filming studio, inventory and storage space - will be finished and visitors can get an exclusive behind-the-scenes peek of the completed space when we cut the ribbon.
The day will include:
• Full access to The Cave and Arcade Archive to explore and enjoy
• A special talk from RobSmithDev
