THE OLD COMPUTER // COMMUNITY ARCHIVE

THE HALL
OF FAME.

THE PEOPLE KEEPING THE PAST PLAYABLE.

Behind every remembered game, every rescued manual and every ROM in the archive is a community that cares. This is our little corner of the internet dedicated to saying thank you.

Every contribution supports the upkeep and preservation of TOC. Not profit.

YOU MAKE
THIS POSSIBLE.

Firstly, a huge thank you to everyone who has contributed to The Old Computer. Keeping an archive like this online takes a great deal of time, work and real-world hosting costs.

As we said on the original page, a donation is a tip of the hat between friends — a small acknowledgement that says this place matters.

To every name below, to every person who has helped in any way: you have our heartfelt thanks.

THE OLD COMPUTERPERSONAL MESSAGE // 001

Dear Friend,

Please help us keep this amazing resource alive. Emulation is under attack, and this site is one of the oldest and largest true retro computing and gaming resources anywhere.

We are advert free, spam free and clickbait free. All we ask is that you help us cover the cost of our hosting and servers and preserve the collection for future generations.

All of this is only possible because of your donations. Every contribution, however small, helps us continue to improve this rare resource.

Our sincere thanks,
All the team at TOC
