Fun is back in computing!
The functional computer exhibition
You may remember the Commodore, Spectrum, and maybe the Amiga, but do you still remember the Atari and Amstrad? If you don’t, that’s ok!

In the I love 8-bit® exhibition events you can play, test and have fun with old favorites. The experiences of the early days of digital culture are back again here! Have fun and enjoy the authentic and memorable experiences of the digital cultural heritage.
Load games from tape deck and wait 5 minutes. Maybe the game starts or maybe not! Those experiences are available on the I love 8-bit® exhibition. Computing is fun again!
And there's a lot more than just computers and games. An exhibition of music, culture and full entertainment will bring you authentic experiences and fun. It's something to look back on afterwards.

How can a historical computer exhibition be fun?
Play and study
What were the games that played in the early computer age? How does a flight simulator work with a device that is 40 years old, has a millionth of the power compared to modern computers, it has black and white graphics and the games must be downloaded from a C-cassette?
This and much more fun is at the I love 8-bit® exhibition. Authentic experiences of early digital culture are unique!
Finland is now officially the 8-bit state.
