BEM-VINDO

Rejuvenesci mais de 30 anos ao visitar o museu.
Foram dias, tardes a jogar Bomb Jack, Dechatlon, Chukie Egg, Phenix e a derrubar tijolos de um jogo que vinha incluído no meu Zx Spectrum.
Muitos parabéns pelo espaço, foi um momento espetacular.

Nostalgia deliciosa! Lindo de se ver, sentir e experimentar! Uma exposição muito especial para quem viveu os tempos gloriosos dos microcomputadores, também com a representação "Made In Portugal" bem presente com os modelos Timex. Uma palavra de agradecimento especial ao anfitrião pelo seu empenho, disponibilidade, simpatia e conhecimento, por partilhar a sua coleção e conhecimento de uma forma tão bem conseguida que espero voltar brevemente para visitar a versão alargada do museu.

Excelente Excelente, vale muito a pena visitar.
Abrange a história da Spectrum, como imensos exemplares dos diversos modelos.

A exposição oferece ao visitante a possibilidade de jogar.

Ever since my husband got me divorced for the past 2 years, i v'e not been my self. I was reviewing some post of how i could get back my husband then, i saw a testimony shared by Marina Choas from SWEDEN about a spell caster named Dr. Okosun. I contacted Marina Chaos to confirm about how Dr. Okosun helped her and she clarified everything to me of how he helped her and that gave me the courage to get in touch with Dr. OKosun for help. Dr. Okosun assured me that my days of sorrows will be over within 48hours after he has finished with his work. I followed his instructions he gave to me because i had the believe, faith, hope and trust in him. Verily i say to you today that i and my husband are back together and i can proudly say and testify to the world of what Dr. Okosun did for me. Contact him today via E-mail:(Okosunspelltemple33 @ gmail.com call him or whatsapp him +.2.3.4.8.0.5.4.3.3.8.1.3.2 if you seek his help.

History ahead of its time. A space with an incredible history, and the living proof of how Sir Clive Sinclair and his creations changed the world we live in, with a fantastic spoil including some “failed ones”, now almost banal comforts, demonstrating how ahead of their time these brilliant personalities were. Congratulations on sharing.

Trip down memory lane The dreamer has awaken, to a reality of a Museum dedicated to our beloved ZX Spectrum and everything else Sinclair. Child friendly environment. You will have the opportunity to try out games like: Target Renegade, Chuckie Egg, etc. During the guided tour your kids will have the privilege to know the history behind the Micro that so much joy has brought to their parents. Sit back and read the latest books and watch the latest movies related to the ZX Spectrum. A nice place to hang out and absorb/experience the nostalgia of the 80s all over again. Recommended.

Amazing museum and a time travel to childhood I owned a ZX Spectrum growing up and it was my most favorite possession as a kid. I learned to program on it. I loved the games. I was browsing the ZX Spectrum hashtag on instagram when I saw a photograph of someone posing in front of this museum with the giant ZX spectrum in the background and the second I saw it, I knew I wanted to visit.

I don't even live in Portugal, but I was going to visit my girlfriend's parents for Xmas and it was the perfect opportunity to visit the museum which was within a few hours driving distance.

When we arrived there, we were greeted by João at the door. He was very friendly and happy to meet a fellow spectrum fan. He showed us around. The entire collection at the museum is owned by him and it is extensive. Everything ZX Spectrum was right there, from the original machines to the clones, from earlier predecessors like the MK14 to later non-Sinclair machines like MGT's SAM Coupé. There was even a Sinclair C5 electric car. Walking into the main room where the collection is was like walking into a time capsule. I was transported back to my childhood. With games running on actual hardware, ZX Spectrum related documentaries playing on multiple screens, the machines on display in cabinets, it was a perfectly executed vintage computer feast. João was extremely knowledgeable about everything and he was very happy to share his knowledge and stories as well. Among the machines there were rarities and oddities, like an NTSC Spectrum, the Timex FDD3000, my personal favorite the Sam Coupé, and Portuguese Speccy clones.

Not everything in the museum is behind glass cabinets either. Visitors can get some hands on time with some of the machines as well, if they choose to. There's a big desk full of machines, both vintage and modern, sporting peripherals like the DivMMC, and a spectrum Vega all waiting to please those who want to play with them.

Overall it was a great experience and we spent a great two and a half hours which felt like 15 minutes to me. João was with us the whole time guiding us and telling us about the machines, their stories, his own personal experience. Chatting with him was one of the best parts of the experience.

Whether you're a nostalgic fan of the ZX Spectrum, or someone who would like to find out more about vintage computing and a bygone era when computers and computing was very different than what they are today, we would highly recommend seeing this wonderful museum put together with great enthusiasm, lots of passion and a bit of nostalgia.

Amazing guided tour by the museam curator João Diogo Ramos. We learned a lot of the ZX Spectrum story and its people.

I recommend this visit to anyone interested in computers, videogames and technology.

10 REM Visitar Museu LOAD ZX Spectrum Para quem deu os primeiros passos na informática com uma máquina destas, este é um local obrigatório a visitar.
É um verdadeiro flashback à altura em questão (estamos a falar da década de 80), num espaço muito bem organizado, com bastante material da época e muitas raridades.
O curador João Diogo Ramos fez-nos numa visita guiada onde explicou a história do ZX Spectrum, ficando patente a sua paixão e conhecimento do tema, onde até quem é menos familiarizado com estes temas fica interessado.

Sem dúvida um espaço fascinante a visitar!

História, nostalgia e diversão numa experiência a não perder Excelente museu, adorei a visita e recomendo. Anfitrião muito simpático e conhecedor da história e histórias do Spectrum e da Timex com uma coleção de referência a nível internacional. Recomendado a todos os que se interessem pela história da informática e videojogos, quem procura uma boa dose de nostalgia ou até aos mais novos que podem passar aqui um bom bocado, aprendendo e divertindo-se ao mesmo tempo. Para quem estiver na área, vale a pena fazer um pequeno desvio para visitar aquele que está muito próximo de ser "o" local de referência em Cantanhede.

Experiência nostálgica fantástica Tiveste um Spectrum na tua infância? Vais adorar vir aqui!
Uma coleção fantástica numa exibição muito bem organizada, cheia de informações e curiosidades sobre esta caixa mágica que encantou tantas infâncias. Descobri lá coisas que nem fazia ideia que existiam. Está tudo organizado com muita atenção ao pormenor e grande sentido estético, dá gosto lá entrar. Se apanharem lá o proprietário, vão poder usufruir de uma visita guiada cheia de conhecimento e paixão pelo tema. Acreditem: vão gostar de saber como algumas peças ali foram parar. Já lá regressei duas vezes com amigos diferentes que eu sabia que gostavam do tema, e todos saíram de lá encantados.
P.S. Sim, vão poder carregar jogos no gravador e jogar! 😀

Local TOP cheio de muitas e boas recordações!!! Recomendo a sua visita

Uma viagem no tempo a não perder.

Excelente exposição, tecnologia e história no seu melhor Exposição muito bem organizada, com um acervo muito completo, ótimas descrições de cada geração, cada produto, cada tecnologia. Tive o prazer de fazer uma visita guiada com o guru João Diogo Ramos, conhecedor máximo da história do ZX Spectrum, seus antecedentes e sucessores.

Um dos mais fascinantes projetos que tenho visto. Parabéns pelo arrojo, pela criação e pelo futuro.

First time touching a ZX Spectrum! I'm a software engineer and I never had the pleasure to interact with a ZX Spectrum, so it was my first time and it was a joy! But it's not only for computer enthusiastics, this is modern history and it's suitable for everyone who like to understand the history behind our modern days.

History of generations A real "must do"! A real "must visit"!!
A peace of history for multiple generations!
Spend some time visiting something that will give a true meaning for some "natural" acts of today's life
Very well done!!!

Fantastic! Absolutely worth visiting! We visited for a few hours and had such a great time. João is so knowledgable - I don’t know anything about the story of spectrums and their relationship with Portugal, but now I’m so well informed. The collection is so large - and you can even try out some of the games on the original machines! If you get the chance to visit, definitely do!

Must Visit for Sinclair & Spectrum fans Very extensive collection of Sinclair devices &, particularly, Sinclair Spectrum articles. The museum is supported by a very knowledgeable, enthusiastic & friendly group of volunteers. The museum also, from time to time, hosts events of interest to gamers with guests, details of which are shown on the museum’s website

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Load ZX Museum, and it was simply extraordinary! For anyone passionate about technology or nostalgic for the gadgets of yesteryear, this museum is an absolute gem.

It boasts an impressive collection from the world of Sinclair, featuring everything from early components, portable radios, and televisions to the wonderful "Spectrum" computers that served as an entire generation's gateway to this world.

What makes this museum truly special is the care, attention, and passion evident in the details, personified in the figure of its curator, João Diogo Ramos.

I recommend it to anyone, young or old, who appreciates the beauty and history of technology. It's not just a museum, it's a time capsule celebrating the ingenuity and visionary, creative and inventive personality of Clive Sinclair.

One of the best museums in Europe The best museum I’ve visited in a long time. Great tour by the curator. The passion during the tour makes us live in a different era that was not long ago and very important to our daily life today

Load “” ENTER Muito bom! Uma verdadeira máquina do tempo que nos leva dos primórdios do ZX SPECTRUM até aos dias de hoje
Sem dúvida um espaço a visitar

Surprisingly good! You could not guess that we can find such a interesting collection in Cantanhede! It contains a lot of rare items like some ZX Spectrum clones from eastern Europe.

great place theyve even got a neoGS
and sam coupé great visit thanks for the tour

Fundamental para quem gosta da temática Dinclair e Timex Local fabuloso, anfitrião muito simpático, uma experiência muito gratificante, ainda por cima numa região muito bonita. Depois da primeira visita, já lá fui por mais duas vezes e irei repetir em breve...

A wonderful trip through memory lane

I recommend this exhibition because of the amazing and unique itens in display. It will bring you that good childhood memories.

Por favor, don't press just ENTER! Uma imersão nos primórdios do computador pessoal, feita com muito amor e carinho. Visita essencial, talvez até obrigatória, para miúdos e graúdos, conhecedores, entusiastas ou simplesmente para quem quer perceber um bocadinho mais de onde a "vida" tecnológica vem.
Um tributo merecido a um homem que estava bem à frente do seu tempo, que nos permitiu chegar onde estamos hoje.

História viva e vibrante Sem memória, não temos uma perspetiva do presente, e tudo o que valorizamos hoje está destinado a ser esquecido no futuro.
O Museu LOAD ZX Spectrum proporciona muito mais do que uma deliciosa viagem no tempo, até à infância dos Pais (ou Avós...) de hoje. É uma ligação às origens da informática pessoal, ao tempo em que apareceram os "personal computers" (pela mão de visionários como Clive Sinclair, Steve Wozniak, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates), e em que o computador era algo de novo em nossas casas.
Visitar o Museu LOAD ZX Spectrum é uma oportunidade única para se ter uma perspetiva do que tem sido a revolução da informática.
Ali está retratada a revolução que foi trazer o computador para as casas e torná-lo pessoal. Quer se procure o reencontro nostálgico com a infância ou a juventude, a compreensão histórica da evolução tecnológica e o seu impacto cultural, ou inspiração para inventar o futuro com base na visão dos génios do passado, tudo isso pode ser encontrado no Museu LOAD ZX Spectrum.

Comprehensive and enriching space on the history of Spectrum The word museum doesn't do justice to what this place represents. Here you'll find a comprehensive collection on the history and development of computing, with a particular focus on the Spectrum computers and everything associated with them. It's a must-see not only for those who first came into contact with computing through these machines, but for anyone curious to learn more about the evolution of computers, games, programming and computing.
