what do you do with all this stuff lol, talk about clutter
Rare boxed copies of Taiwanese DOS games(I think there is one game actually not for DOS but Win9x), holy sh*t! Kudo to the guy who sent them to LGR, those boxed copy of games with that good condition just so, so, so rare now… š
The Pinball Hall of Fame and Neon Museum are some of the coolest parts of Vegas. I'm not big on the more party-ish aspects, but Vegas is just a cool fuckin place.
27:17 Oh yeah, I remember cards with built-in TV tuners! Had one for a few years.
I had a few of the Loki games Linux ports back in the day. The Quake 3 port in particular had a really sweet metal box with the quake logo embossed. I still have the CD, but I really wish I still had that box. I really don't know what happened to it.
I remember wanting one of those ISA Windows Accelerators for my parents' 386 because some webpages had terrible dithering on a 16-color Oak VGA card. It would be awesome to see a benchmarking video comparing system performance of your accelerator versus a typical ISA VGA card on a 386 system.
That Eee PC – I nearly bought one of those way back in the day but I never did, opting for a more expensive but more future-proof laptop.
I wish I still had my late 1970s Quiz Wiz. They were pretty neat little game machines, and I had no idea they persisted into the 1990s. The old ones were made by Coleco, and the old models have a certain charm to them.
I hope we get an episode about the 75-disc CD changer!
The Mouse House makes more sense now with Bluetooth and wireless mice than back then.
That reminds me I wonder what's going on with the Max Payne remaster… Feel like it's been awhile since I heard anything I wonder if the project got canceled..
Love these videos! Makes me excited for future videos about the weird things you received.
Oh my God Clint that MechWarrior box…šš»šš»
ok, i lost it at "i've been making squirrel feeders shaped like scaled down arcade cabinets"
Anders Enger Jensen was definitely inspired by Giorgio Moroder. I'll have to check him out!
Whoa, I never thought something I had a hand in would ever show up in an LGR video! I designed the PowerPCMe K-Mart tape (8:45)back in 2016, first cassette I ever designed. Iāve since had a hand in the art direction of over 100 physical music releases.
Very much looking forward to the Oddware video for the PC controlled CD organiser!
39:01 I wonder? What would happen if you put a CPU both to the socket and slot? Would it just get confused or somehow work? Never had one with both Slot one and a Socket!
Is a mouse house any goofier than a hanger for headphones or a tray for a keyboard?
Pleeease do something with that motherboard!
Aw, no way. I had a QuizWiz. Those noises it makes are burned into my brain and I haven't heard them in 30 years. I forgot the QuizWiz existed. That was really cool to see.
Still got my 2008 eeePC in the garage on winamp duty for the music… still hold a charge on the battery.
What camera do you use for your birb feed?
If those are sugar free haribo gummies for the love of god DON'T EAT THEM!!
I loved those ATI All-In-Wonders back in the day. Just being able to watch a TV program in a window on your PC's desktop at the same time you were doing actual productive stuff in the other windows was an amazing thing, especially in the pre-streaming era of dial-up internet where over-the-air broadcasts and cable TV were pretty much your only options…
I remember seeing one of those Model M keyboards with track ball at an official IBM store circa 1994. One and only time I ever saw one.
Of all the stuff in this video, those Taiwanese games are by far the most immaculate thing I see. Absolutely gorgeous art, beautiful condition, and obscure as hell overseas. Fantastic contribution by Brandon.
EEEPEECEE
oh man you need to cover that watch
45:27 Tough Guy!!! Lmao the SuperBestFriends channel (rip) did a video on this game, one of the superbosses is a N*zi-esque character who shoots flaming swast*ka hadoukens. It's incredible.
I used to have the Star trek shuttle floppy disk holder. I always wondered where that came from.
Quick, go get chris out of his cell with those MO Disks!
Man, you'll never run out of content. This will be a valuable historical reference of this era, in the future. Hello future!
That KDS thing is crap. All it does it store disks not play back. Like if you wanted a home-grown dvd rental place or need a library of disks to catalog.
Iām totally not jealous everyone decided to give you all of the cool retro tech
Clint, I need that chair book. I need it so bad, I study that kind of stuff and that info is so difficult to fetch. I will pay money for it.
31:16 Yo, if that is the ThrillHouse in T Town, shout out to them! Super cool store. Would recommend going there if you are in the area.
Internet appliance? You mean your phone, fridge, garbage compactor, TV, toaster, lamp, table, chair….
I have a small pile of Magento optical discs from my freelancing media days.
I had this crazy idea that because they were a 'standard' like floppy discs, they would beat Iomega zip discs.
I was wrong.
Eventually my drive broke and i didn't replace it.
I am sure with your audience and skills you will find a working old drive.
I haven't, yet.
When you expect to get 6 rolls of Marathon 5400 feet toilet paper but you get just some computer games
I still have my 4 MB memory stick card, for the miniDV sony camera
my gawd that msn compaq internet appliance is amazing. I love the boxes from that era and all the weird crap different companies tried. That thing looks like a straight up abomination and I love it.
My grandma had that Compaq MSN computer gizmo at least around 2002-2007, and then she was upgraded to a standard Dell.
I like your videos
MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries was great! Looking forward to the MW videos a 100 ton!
i only know MO disks from resident evil 1 š
42:22 This feels like something Kenny Lauderdale (lost media preservationist, specifically with anime and manga) might have some additional stake with.
Synthwave for win!
