The Vectrex is a mighty cool gaming machine. As seen at our recent event in Wausau Wisconsin.
It was a good time in Janesville! Looking forward to heading back there this winter!
The Wisconsin Computer Club is going to be in Wausau this Friday (8.7.26) at 6PM for the Marathon County Historical Society's Game Night at the Museum! It's gonna be fun!
Have a peek at this old Magnavox set we rescued recently.
Many thanks to all who came out to the retro game night in Wausau! Mad props to @evercon.bsky.social our hosts who always put on a great show!
The Virtual Boy Display at the Oregon Library show, featuring real Nintendo Virtual Boy systems as well as the modern Virtual Boy emulator for the Nintendo 3DS, which replicates the 3D effect really nicely.
Banana for scale. 😁 This is a little homebrew computer that looks and plays like an IBM PS/2 computer. Very cool to see it at the Oregon Library show!
Join us in Oregon Wisconsin on Saturday, July 18th for a retro tech pop-up museum show! Club members from across the state are prepping displays, and this is shaping up to be our best show yet! If you can make it to the Madison area, come check it out! Free and open to all ages and abilities!
The WCC is headed to Wausabicon in Wausau Wisconsin this Saturday! This event crashed during the pandemic, and at long last it's coming back! The WCC will have a booth there featuring some of our unusual imported hardware. The event is at the Elks lodge just off the 400 block, and is FREE for all! 🥳
Many thanks to all who came to the CREATE Portage County Multiplayer Game Night!
Tremendous thanks to all who came to our Pop Up Museum show (and impromptu Mina the Hollower launch party!) in Wisconsin Rapids! It was a ton of fun!
Funky! These old monitors do odd things sometimes, especially after being stored in the garage all winter. Got this one fixed with a screwdriver.
This was a fun show in Plover! Looking forward to the next one!
Tremendous thanks to all who packed the CREATE Portage County community room tonight, that show was a blast! Between the networked games and all the new and old consoles, this was a ton of fun!
We have a new contender for dirtiest keyboard of 2026.
I accidentally took the most *aesthetic* photo of this eMac possible today.
Some interesting things have come our way. We're excited to share them with you soon!
The WCC and the Marathon County Historical Society want to thank everyone who came out to Game Night at the Museum! It was a lot of fun playing with all of you! 🥳
A quick before and after of a very dusty 486-based system that was used as a business phone answering machine for at least 17 years. Now that it's safe from recycling, it's gonna be a cool DOS gaming machine! More to follow!
We have a full inventory of everything new that came out of the big CRT haul up on the WCC website now. wisconsincomputerclub.com/index.php?th...
We may have some dials that fit in spares. When the weather gets nice again someday, I'll get the leg repaired here too so it doesn't need to rely on talking animal movies from the 90's to stand upright. 😅
The dials were missing, and the leg was broken off when we got it (still got the leg though), but the recyclers didn't get her, and that's the important thing. If you or someone you know is looking for a truly vintage TV, this crazy photogenic Admiral set is free to a good home!
If you need a CRT TV, you are in luck! The WCC's effort to intercept tvs bound for recycling worked out great- all of these will be cleaned up and tested, then they're FREE to a good home! Because reuse beats recycling. Also, "retro gaming tvs" shouldn't be expensive. 😎
We had an amazing time in Janesville Wisconsin today! That's a lotta retro tech!
Many thanks to all who came out to the LAN party at CREATE Portage County on Friday night!
We recently rescued quite a few flat panel monitors, ranging from 4:3 panels from the 2000's to some high-refresh gaming monitors, and they are all free to a good home. Reach out at the WCC forums: wisconsincomputerclub.com/index.php?th...
