Description :

A mini exhibition of formats that were once touted as being the future ...

Come and join us for a weekend celebrating those now forgotten formats like Laserdisc and CD-i. 

The exhibition will feature the Domesday System running on the Acorn BBC Master platform as well as the RM Nimbus, and we'll have the Acorn A3000 running laserdisc based software. There will also be a second BBC Master with Laserdisc player running the Ecodisc and Volcanoes disc.

Other systems will include various Philips CD-i systems including the very rare CD-i TV, the Commodore CDTV and CD32.

We'll also feature other surprises like the lesser known video formats like CED ...
