Glad you enjoyed! One of my favourite objects of ours too, along with the timesplitters dev kit

First time I've visited damn I didn't notice the timesplitters kit

It's right underneath the doom disk :')

The blue gamecube above it was also used for the first lego star wars

Do you know if the disc still works? Aren’t they all destined to eventually degrade? Some of my game discs from the mid 90’s started to become corrupted already after ten years or so.

Must admit I have no idea.

We have plenty of disks from that period that do work but that one is very precious too us so I can't imagine it even leaving the case

CD's can last for decades or even centuries if kept in good condition. I still have actual floppy disks from the 80's and 90's that read just fine and they deteriorate much faster.

Because it's a pet peeve of mine:

Something can't be "highly" unique. Unique is a binary state, it is or is not unique. On or off, there are no degrees of uniqueness. Highly unusual? Sure. Extremely rare? That too. Very unique? Nope.

Normally, I'd seethe with internet annoyance quietly to myself, but I expect better from a museum.

I'll pass it on to the team :)

But most museums are full of spelling/grammar mistakes, easy to miss when you have hundreds of bits out
