This week's feature instalment from Megawhat is not only so chock full of amazing content we've had to split it into two episodes, but will take you on a serious trip down memory lane.

Presenter Stuart Miles visits the Museum of Computing in Swindon and gets stuck in to computing nostalgia, retro gaming and now-obsolete machines.

The first episode is all about desktop computing with looks at original Macs, Spectrums, Commodores and much more.

Part two covers the Museum's current exhibition, "From Pong to PlayStation" and checks out retro gaming including consoles from Atari, Nintendo, Sega, Sony and even Duck Hunt headsets.
