There will also be a wide range of machines from all sorts of platforms, not just the most common ones or those enjoying a 2026 renaissance but from across the great history of early computing and video gaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More information and tickets are available on the <a href=\"https:\/\/retronaut.tech\/retronauts-assemble-311026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Retronaut web site<\/a>.
