The Microcomputer Club Nederland (MCN) was a Dutch computer club which was founded by Vendex in the mid 1980s.[1] The club was centered around the computer departments of the Vroom & Dreesmann department store and the Dixons electronics stores, which sold home computers such as the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum and MSX computers.[1] Later they also sold IBM PC compatibles under the brand name Vendex. MCN also issued a same-named magazine and sold accessories such as diskettes under their name.

The director of MCN was Maurice de Hond.[1]
