  • [calming jazz music] [electric buzzing]

  • Greetings, and welcome to another

  • LGR unboxing things you sent video.

  • Haven't done one of these in, oh man,

  • almost half a year, I guess!

  • Last one I did was in April,

  • so these things have been piling up.

  • It's been a very busy summer.

  • But thanks in advance to everyone

  • who's been sending things and just honestly,

  • helping this summer of LGR to be really awesome,

  • even without the donations.

  • But this video's about the donations,

  • so let's to get to unboxing this awesome stuff

  • you folks have generously sent.

  • All right, first up, we've got one here

  • from Pontus in Sweden.

  • And apparently, this required quite the explanation.

  • Yeah, he's just describing how the game works.

  • It's a game from Sweden called Mall Maniacs.

  • It sounded interesting.

  • It was definitely gonna require more research,

  • but I was intrigued enough to be interested, for sure.

  • Is that Comic Sans on the CD?

  • I think it is. [groaning]

  • Well, this is just a weird thing, thank you very much.

  • Okay, next up, I've got one here from Doug.

  • As promised, he sent me one of the first SNES-2-GP boards,

  • so yeah, this converts Super Nintendo controllers

  • over to the 15-pin gaming port on PCs,

  • so you can use it with DOS games.

  • User manual's pretty straightforward. [chuckling]

  • Got a third-party controller here,

  • but of course, it'll work with any.

  • So there you go, that's the board itself.

  • You've just got the Super Nintendo side here,

  • the 15-pin gaming port there.

  • And yeah, it allows you to plug in Super Nintendo

  • controllers on your PC, which is nice,

  • because I've seen plenty of other adapters and stuff,

  • of course, for USB.

  • But even back in the day, if you wanted a console

  • controller on your PC, you pretty much had to stick

  • with serial or even parallel.

  • I've seen some adapters like that, but never one

  • to go to the game port, oddly enough.

  • This is very cool, thanks for sending it my way.

  • Got one here in an envelope from Kevin in Germany.

  • Check that out, new old stock Microsoft Windows

  • '98 stickers, originals!

  • Very cool.

  • I will have fun with them, thank you very much.

  • And I've got one here from, blurry, here it is.

  • From Justin, I guess it's late.

  • I don't know, I'm late opening these. [chuckling]

  • Okay, no note or anything, I don't think.

  • We've got something called The Internet Experience.

  • "Navigating the Internet and World Wide Web."

  • I very much enjoy these kinds of CDs from back then,

  • so thanks for sending this.

  • I don't even know what to expect, but it looks intriguing.

  • All right, got one here from Nathan.

  • So yeah, he sent me this t-shirt design

  • after I did my Tempest little mini-arcade video.

  • I believe he designs these and sells them and such,

  • like here's some stickers, a couple of Fallout ones.

  • "You're over-encumbered and cannot run!" [chuckling]

  • Some Galaga stuff.

  • Apparently he's been binging

  • since he discovered the channel about a year ago.

  • Oh man, that's a long time to binge.

  • I hope you're okay.

  • Glad you're enjoying, and thank you very much

  • for sending the stuff.

  • Ghostnebula Illustrations is his thing,

  • thank you, Nathan.

  • All right, got one here from Gerald.

  • Oh yeah, he sent a few different things here.

  • Some of which I already have.

  • But this is the main one I was interested in.

  • Yeah, the Sim City Official Soundtrack

  • of Sim City 3000, that is.

  • One of my absolute favorite soundtracks,

  • and not an easy soundtrack to get ahold of physically,

  • so thank you very much, sir.

  • Very cool gaming soundtracks.

  • Got one here from Aaron.

  • "I found this while cleaning and realized I never sent it!"

  • [chuckling] Merry Christmas, I guess.

  • Yes sir, I'll take it! [chuckling]

  • Merry Christmas to you too.

  • Oh yeah, this is a weird little thing.

  • This is The Jazz Pianist, a piano music library

  • for your MIDI system or PC sound card.

  • You know, I'm obviously a fan of jazz as a musical genre,

  • and also a fan of MIDI, and this just appears

  • to be a bunch of MIDI files, but also has support

  • for roll and general MIDI, Sound Canvas,

  • all this good stuff.

  • So, I don't know, thank you very much.

  • All right, got one here from the UK

  • that got a bit beat up in postage.

  • In fact, it looks like who knows what came out of there?

  • Oh yeah, it's from Gareth, thank you, Gareth. [chuckling]

  • Looks like there were some food things in here.

  • Those all melted together. [chuckling]

  • Well, I appreciate the thought!

  • Hmm, a Bethesda game.

  • "As discussed, here's the copy of Delta V."

  • Definitely will be able to do more thrifting episodes,

  • but, as always, that is something that just takes time.

  • But yeah, not familiar with this game from Bethesda

  • back then at all, but it looks really cool.

  • I don't know, interesting 3D, early 3D graphics

  • and cool colors and stuff.

  • Apparently it's a flight sim VR.

  • VR flight sim!

  • I don't think it actually supports VR headsets,

  • but anyway, thank you for this.

  • All right, I've got one here from Nate.

  • To me, "Enjoy your sound card."

  • I will, Mr. Nate random guy on the Internet.

  • I always enjoy sound cards, and oh man,

  • I will enjoy this one!

  • It's an absolute classic of a sound card,

  • a Sound Blaster CT1350B, mm-hmm!

  • One of my favorite sound cards,

  • especially when you get the other chips

  • and populate those in there,

  • so you have a creative music system support.

  • Anyway, thank you very much, Nate.

  • I will definitely be using this in future builds.

  • Okay, got this one here from E-Z Post. [chuckling]

  • I'm assuming this is some sort of business drop

  • shipment or something.

  • Okay, yeah, this is from the company, I guess,

  • that handles the 3D-ROM's merch.

  • Yeah, got an official Build Engine t-shirt,

  • a big fan of the Ken Silverman Build Engine,

  • used for doing 3D and a whole bunch of other classics

  • from back in the day.

  • And yeah, I guess they started selling these

  • sometime early summer this year,

  • and I was reached on Twitter and they're like,

  • "Yeah, do you want one?"

  • And I'm like, "Yeah, sure."

  • I will take a cool t-shirt from one of my favorite engines.

  • So thank you very much.

  • Got one here from Jeff.

  • [chuckling] That's it, a little tiny thing.

  • This is interesting, this is a copy of Exodus:

  • Journey to the Promised Land for the Game Boy.

  • Yeah, one of those weird little unlicensed things

  • that Wisdom Tree did back in the day.

  • I'm a big fan of these, not because they're great games,

  • but I just, I don't know,

  • weird religious things and unlicensed games.

  • But thank you very much, Jeff.

  • Seriously though, just look at the way

  • this cartridge is designed.

  • That weird wavy sticker that is molded

  • to the weird wavy shape of the whole thing.

  • It's just odd, man.

  • I don't have any unlicensed Game Boy games.

  • I do now!

  • Alrighty, I've got one here from the UPS Store

  • in Tennessee, which, [chuckling] I don't know

  • if there's a note inside.

  • Yeah, it's from Holden.

  • It says he's a 20 year old,

  • he obviously missed on a lot of tech from back in the day,

  • so it's been great to see all that stuff.

  • Awesome, glad to hear you've been enjoying the older things.

  • Oh yeah, so the Avon Beauty Vision Computer

  • I covered awhile back.

  • I did some tests and things on there about cologne.

  • Apparently they contacted an Avon salesperson,

  • and a couple of them were still made:

  • Night Magic, Soft Musk, and Imari are still in production.

  • [laughing] This is a thing?

  • All right, so this is Night Magic.

  • Yeah, I do remember this one being mentioned

  • on that computer in this very room.

  • Ooh my, oh me.

  • [coughing] It's not bad!

  • [laughing]

  • Yeah, shouldn't have gone in my nose.

  • Okay, I can smell a little better.

  • It's a very sweet, very sweet smell.

  • Okay, let's try Imari.

  • "Where passion blooms.

  • "Experience the power of Imari,

  • "with notes of sparkling citrus,

  • "opulent jasmine, and addictive vanilla

  • "for a long-lasting sensuality."

  • I've gotta say, that sounds more, yeah.

  • Oh, look at that, that's a thing.

  • I wish I had one of those little thingies

  • that you spray on the paper or whatever.

  • I guess I could just kinda spray it on here.

  • [spritzing]

  • Okay, now I do like this one better.

  • I don't know, you know, actually,

  • I don't mind that at all, that's not bad.

  • I'm not sure I'd wear it, but I do like the way that smells.

  • Definitely get some of that "opulent jasmine

  • "and addictive vanilla."

  • [sniffing] More the vanilla, I like the vanilla.

  • Anyway, thanks for this odd donation

  • and sort of follow up to the Avon Beauty Vision,

  • [chuckling] what little of that computer

  • that there was meant for men.

  • So thank you, this is weird, but cool.

  • Kind of an interesting little collectible

  • to go along with that computer now.

  • All right, this feels like more t-shirts or something.

  • This is from Vivid Vaporwave, Vaporwear?

  • Vaporwave, yes.

  • Yeah, I think this is coming

  • from the same supplier as the 3D Realms shirt!

  • It's the same exact paperwork.

  • Both of these shirts came from the same place.

  • Anyway, that's an odd coincidence,

  • but check this out!

  • That is a Cool Crab t-shirt, folks!

  • A very vaporwavey looking Cool Crab,

  • with the purple and the greenish teal going on.

  • That is sweet.

  • I think they all have the same design,

  • but this one may be a hoodie.

  • Definitely all smell like vinegar.

  • This one's like a dark blue?

  • No, that's black, yeah.

  • Dude! [chuckling]

  • There's a bunch of people, actually,

  • that have contacted me about doing Cool Crab merch,

  • and I'm like, you know what, I'm not gonna sell it myself,

  • because I don't know, I don't really have time to do it.

  • But there's a bunch of people that have started

  • making these things.

  • In fact, if you go on RedBubble,

  • I'm sure you'll find a number of them.

  • This is one of them, so, [chuckling] thank you very much.

  • The fact that Cool Crab has turned into a thing at all,

  • just, it amuses me.

  • Okay, now one here that's rather heavy,

  • but somewhat thin, so I don't know what's in here.

  • This is from, does it say?

  • It does not say.

  • It's from Scott.

  • "Here are the Floptical drives we talked about."

  • Sweet!

  • "I was told they were both working,

  • "but I noticed a "BAD" label on one of them."

  • All right, well, thank you very much in advance,

  • because I've been looking for some of these!

  • Oh, I was not expecting this one!

  • But these other ones here.

  • The format is called Floptical,

  • it was absolutely a thing.

  • It's got sort of a reddish-colored disc inside.

  • And yeah, you run these on Floptical drives.

  • This one's by Insite, in fact,

  • these are both by Insite here.

  • This one has, oh, that's cool.

  • Got one of those little shipping protectors.

  • It can be hard to find these at all,

  • much less ones that work.

  • But hopefully, they do.

  • I've been wanting to cover this for a long time,

  • but I'd still really like to get some of the other things

  • that went along with this in terms of like,

  • documentation packaging.

  • If anyone has any Floptical stuff

  • that they'd be willing to part with

  • so I can make an odd ware video,

  • I'd very much appreciate it.

  • I don't know exactly what this one is.

  • This doesn't look like Floptical,

  • it just looks like floppy with memory card readers.

  • [chuckling]

  • That's kind of odd, in and of itself.

  • But yeah, thank you very much for sending these my way,

  • even if they don't work, it's just finally cool

  • to see some in person.

  • All right, got one here from Joshua.

  • Ah, NASA Museum!

  • "Explore the first virtual reality,"

  • here we go with that virtual reality again.

  • It's just early '90s virtual reality,

  • in the sense that it's a recreation of the real place,

  • virtually, not like headset stuff.

  • I mean, sometimes some of these things would have that,

  • but this looks like it's just like,

  • a macromedia director type of thing.

  • Either way, very cool, I love space-related collectibles,

  • especially for PC and whatnot.

  • I don't know, this is just my kinda thing,

  • so thank you very much.

  • Got one from Ashwynn.

  • Oh yeah, man!

  • Been looking for one of these, so this is a thing.

  • It's the Logitech Audioman Compact Digital Audio "Tool"?

  • So, check this out.

  • It's an actual sound card of sorts,

  • but it's one that attaches to the parallel port,

  • making it kinda similar to the Covox Speech Thing,

  • or Disney Sound Source, in a way, but also different.

  • Because, you know, it's just something I've wanted

  • to cover for a long time,

  • because I don't know a whole lot about exactly how it works.

  • So thank you for sending this in the box,

  • that is very cool!

  • All right, got one here from Jim.

  • And I don't see any notes in here, but anyway,

  • two excellent condition PC game boxes.

  • So we've got the classic Maxis game RoboSport,

  • well, it's classic to me.

  • This is a much better condition box than I had,

  • so I was happy to have this, because it looks great.

  • And Spaceward Ho!, which I have never played at all,

  • but man, that box art is truly the best.

  • It's a rocket powered space shark and cowboy,

  • and there's like, flaming Cheetos,

  • and he's lassoing a planet.

  • Dude, it looks amazing.

  • It maybe isn't that amazing, but who knows?

  • I have never tried it.

  • Thank you for sending these.

  • Got one here from David in Portugal.

  • [chuckling] I see!

  • The one packing peanut.

  • You know, I don't think that joke will ever stop.

  • Oh yeah, David.

  • DeckardGames David, yes.

  • So it has the add-on we talked about.

  • Yeah, ooh, I know what this is now!

  • That's cool stationery, by the way.

  • I dig that Windows 3.1 notepad.

  • Oh yeah, now this is an absolute rarity.

  • We All Need Extra Speed,

  • Extra Tracks for the Need for Speed for DOS.

  • 100% unofficial add-on.

  • Dude, 500 plus new tracks?

  • Like, what?

  • What are even are these?

  • Tracks, cheats, patches, utilities.

  • It's weird enough to even hear about modding

  • for NFS 1, I mean, it was certainly doable.

  • I showed a little tiny bit of it in my Need for Speed I

  • review awhile back, but the fact that there's a whole

  • physical release of these things?

  • It is probably gonna get a dedicated video,

  • because I am so confused.

  • 1997, by UK Gold.

  • Anyway, thank you very much, Mr. Deckardgames David.

  • This is super cool.

  • I think he found a couple of them,

  • just very luckily, and decided to send me one of them,

  • so much appreciated!

  • This is gonna go perfectly in my collection over there.

  • Got one here from Austria from Dieter.

  • Or maybe he goes by Didi.

  • A very nice selection of wood grain,

  • printed out for my amusement.

  • Yeah, unfoldable disk storage, yes indeed!

  • Thank you, Didi.

  • Let's see if I can make it work.

  • [soft clicking] [chuckling]

  • Now, that is an intriguing floppy disk holder,

  • I'm gonna say.

  • Look at that, that is satisfying!

  • [soft clicking]

  • Yep, that's all that is, thank you so much.

  • That is super cool! [chuckling]

  • Okay, got one here from Veronica.

  • So this is a thing, I like these kinds of things.

  • Action Arcade Adventure Set, a three and a half inch disk.

  • It's a game creation book for PC.

  • "You're a cool dude!

  • "Enjoy the book."

  • Well, you're a cool Veronica!

  • Thank you for the book, and I don't know what I'm gonna

  • do with this, I don't know, try to make a game or something?

  • I've always been cautious about doing a video

  • on these types of things, but I highly enjoy them,

  • just on my own personal time, if nothing else.

  • So yeah, much appreciated.

  • Okay, I've got one here from Zach.

  • All right, he loves the show,

  • and he's pumped he can add to my collection.

  • Well, thank you.

  • It was tucked away in his closet, not being appreciated.

  • Well, now it'll be tucked away in here,

  • being hopefully appreciated.

  • And a big fan of LGR Foods.

  • Indeed, I am hungry.

  • Oh, hey, yep, yep!

  • Been looking for this for awhile,

  • this is Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Harbinger.

  • It comes in this rather interesting plastic box.

  • Yeah, I've never played the game,

  • don't know if it's any good.

  • I have been mostly been after it

  • for this oddly-shaped package.

  • So I've got a whole bunch of Star Trek games,

  • it's gonna go down there with those

  • and look awesome.

  • That just looks neat, man!

  • Creative '90s packaging, right?

  • Okay, I've got one here from Geoffrey at Star Micronics.

  • Yeah, that Star, the printer company.

  • So yeah, after I did the video on the Star Dot Matrix

  • printer, they of course are still around,

  • and they got in touch and offered to send some Star things.

  • It's a nice mug.

  • "Always leading, always innovating, Star."

  • Yeah, I just like the fact that they keep their old

  • rogue logo intact.

  • I mean, that is a classic '80s looking logo!

  • What is this?

  • Okay, so I've got a little translucent Star thing.

  • That is a thing you hand out at trade shows.

  • Got a nice lanyard there.

  • A business card, a bunch of Star stickers,

  • yeah man, like, a bottle opener.

  • Oh, dude!

  • "Thank you for embracing Star's retro tech!

  • "We hope it's okay our thank you

  • "is a thermal print instead."

  • Yeah, sure, that's fine. [chuckling]

  • Yeah, you know, it's Star merch.

  • Ooh, that's nice, so thank you, folks at Star.

  • I just really like your logo! [chuckling]

  • Okay, I've got one here from somebody in Texas.

  • Okay, so I do know what this is,

  • but I don't recall off the top of my head who sent it.

  • Maybe there's a note in here.

  • If not, I'll put it at the bottom of the screen.

  • Here's the receipt.

  • Ah, yeah, so they found this

  • at an Austin, Texas antique mall.

  • This is an IBM dictation machine,

  • the IBM Executary 224 Dictating Unit.

  • I have been after one of these for a little while now,

  • just because, you know, old IBM tech,

  • and watching enough tech videos and, oh, whoops.

  • You start getting into dictation machines for some reason.

  • So there's the battery compartment,

  • that just fell right out of there.

  • Look at this, I don't know.

  • It's kind of an IBM design language going on

  • for so long throughout the 20th century,

  • and it was going on back then too.

  • I think this is a mid-'60s device, if I recall.

  • But yeah, I just think it looks wonderful,

  • and this is in great condition.

  • Found it for 20 bucks, so thank you for this.

  • Oh, man, yeah, look at that!

  • Nice that it came with the manual,

  • because [fluttering lips] total foreign technology, man.

  • '60s tech, electronical things, that is just well beyond

  • what I usually dive into, but yeah,

  • I'm interested in looking further into it.

  • So anyway, thank you very much to you who sent it,

  • because it didn't have a name on the box.

  • Thank you very much for this.

  • This is just neat!

  • All right, getting a little larger now, from Shawn.

  • Oh my, that's a lot of blue!

  • If I recall, these belonged to his father

  • that recently passed away.

  • It's just a whole bunch of Atari software

  • IBM PC games from the early '80s.

  • I mean, these are some of the early licensed games

  • for the platform.

  • And they don't have any actual screenshots or anything

  • on the back, but I use these all the time

  • for testing out compatibility and things like that

  • for different PCs and XT systems that I have,

  • especially Defender here, this is highly reliant

  • on your computer's CPU speed.

  • And these are just in great shape,

  • better than I've ever seen, honestly.

  • These are hard enough to find anyway,

  • so thank you very much for sending these my way.

  • This is very cool.

  • Obviously a well cared for collection of PC games.

  • Okay, got one here from Ben in the Netherlands.

  • All right, got a nice note here from Ben.

  • "Sorry for the delay!"

  • Yeah, no worries.

  • "There is so much interest for the Spectrum headware

  • "that I'm really struggling to keep up."

  • Oh man, so he's got this company, Byte Delight,

  • putting together these Spectrum packages.

  • Thank you very much for sending this.

  • I hope it's not too much of a burden to have done so!

  • Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

  • Oh man, check that out!

  • This is a Spectrum 128, the toast rack version,

  • as it is known, in a very lovely red box here.

  • And there's also like, a dust cover included as well,

  • from the biggest toast rack hoarder in Holland, Renee,

  • who had these dust covers made, that's awesome.

  • So yeah, I had a 48K a long time ago,

  • but that's the only experience I ever had with a Spectrum.

  • This, on the other hand, ooh, that looks awesome!

  • A little heavier than I expected, too.

  • [clinking metal]

  • That's very, very cool. [clicking keys]

  • Refurbished by Byte Delight.

  • So yeah, it's been all taken care of,

  • the internals have been refreshed,

  • and stuff has been swapped out so it's working.

  • And it's got all the original stuff with it,

  • but also like, new cables, new power supply,

  • new, oh, I don't even know what else!

  • There's so much good stuff in here!

  • Start connection at the cassette over there.

  • I've got the ZX-AY three-channel audio interface.

  • Lots of good stuff in here.

  • So yeah, very much appreciated, Ben and Co.

  • This is super neat, thanks so much!

  • Okay, I've got one here from Jeffrey in Australia.

  • Apparently LGR has helped keep him company

  • recently as he was often on night shift duty

  • to watch the baby!

  • Yeah, oh man, wishing you the best with that.

  • Shout to wife Gracie and baby daughter Annabelle too.

  • And yeah, there are some cool things that are included

  • in here, so let us check them out.

  • We are off to a good start already.

  • All right, so these two are definitely

  • a couple of the stars of the show here,

  • we've got some registered Apogee shareware games.

  • These are the full versions, all three parts,

  • two parts in this case for Goodbye Galaxy!

  • But yeah, this is, oh wow, what is this?

  • It's just kind of a generic box with some, I don't know,

  • things plastered onto it.

  • Anyway, Manaccom, they distributed a bunch of versions

  • of Apogee games in Australia, and I've been after a couple

  • of these, actually, any of them, for a long time.

  • And here are two of them, so that's very cool!

  • We've got a discount version of The Secret of Monkey Island.

  • That's interesting packaging, from Sega-Ozisoft, really.

  • Got some Sierra kids' things,

  • Lost Secret of the Rainforest,

  • The Island of Dr. Brain, didn't have that,

  • and Castle of Dr. Brain, which I have since covered.

  • [chuckling] Here's something that's interesting,

  • Microsoft Game Shop,

  • includes QBlocks, a customizable version of Tetris.

  • Again with the game creation stuff.

  • I don't know what I'm gonna do with these,

  • but I wanna do something,

  • so if anybody has any ideas, I don't know,

  • let me know, I guess.

  • There's so many of these cool packs from back in the day

  • that just seem like they'd be interesting to cover

  • in some form, even if I'm not making my own games,

  • just kinda showing how they work.

  • And then, ah, yes, this I've been wanting forever.

  • Need for Speed: High Stakes, the Australian edition,

  • with the Holden and Ford cars included.

  • Yeah, dude, I remember downloading those back in the day,

  • off like FSCars.net or something.

  • And yeah, you could add them to the American version,

  • but to have the original Australian release is very cool,

  • as a collector of Need for Speed things,

  • so yes, thank you very much for all the goodness,

  • and best of luck with the baby.

  • And I've got another one here from an unknown sender.

  • Okay, we've got a note here from David, it looks like.

  • Yeah, a very long-time subscriber, 2012.

  • His dad really likes Tech Tales and his brother

  • and him like pretty much every video on the channel.

  • Well, thank you very much.

  • So yeah, there's a wood grain thing from the '80s in here.

  • Let us check it out.

  • Oh yeah dude, classic Swingline stapler with the wood grain!

  • Yeah, you know, I'll take it, man.

  • That's an awesome stapler,

  • definitely a way better one than the one I have,

  • so thank you very much.

  • Hope you all continue to enjoy the videos.

  • Okay, got another package from a David.

  • Sure are a lot of Davids in the tech community, huh?

  • I guess there's just a lot of Davids.

  • A copy here of Geoworks Ensemble, Graphical Environment

  • and Productivity Applications.

  • That is something I've always wanted to check out.

  • Very cool, that's quite a beefy package, too.

  • Thing's heavy!

  • And a note there as well.

  • Tech Tales, the history of Geos,

  • that's definitely a possible thing.

  • And apparently he's also doing a project here,

  • a tribute to his late uncle, Tom Rizzo,

  • and it features his music as a soundtrack,

  • and his likeness as the main character.

  • Well, that's cool.

  • And I do remember that floppy demo,

  • Conway's Game of Life short film thing.

  • Thanks once again for sending some stuff my way,

  • and wishing you the best on the Rizzo Island project.

  • A Dreamcast-compatible website is a nice touch.

  • Got one here from Bradley.

  • It's well packaged, whatever it is.

  • [sped up crinkling]

  • [chuckling]

  • Okay! [laughing]

  • If I can stop laughing.

  • This is obviously a disk holder,

  • five and a quarter inch floppies,

  • with one of those nice retracting wooden tops.

  • I have one like this, but it was mostly just plastic.

  • It was made to look like wood,

  • but this has actually got some wooden components,

  • so that's very cool.

  • Now, this. [laughing]

  • Oh my word, The One Peanut!

  • I'm telling you, the packing peanut joke.

  • This is a 3D printed like, sculpture of a packing peanut

  • with a little plaque!

  • This is...

  • [laughing]

  • This is the dumbest thing!

  • That is some effort, right there.

  • And you picked the right kind of awful packing peanut too,

  • like some of the packing peanuts I don't mind as much.

  • These are the worst ones right here.

  • [laughing]

  • I don't know what to say except you all are nuts.

  • Thank you very much!

  • Oh my word, that is so silly.

  • Okay, got one here from Scott Mackie,

  • we'll see if there's a peanut in this one.

  • So my legacy's gonna be like,

  • wood grain and packing peanuts.

  • That's not what I expected as a kid, though.

  • Okay, here we go, it's a Contel Vision game

  • that I did not have, this is The Prophecy.

  • Yeah, I mean, I wanted it because of Contel Vision.

  • So awesome, there's a note in here too, right?

  • Indeed there is, got a message from Scott.

  • "We had a good Fourth of July, and happy awesome 10 years!"

  • Why thank you, I guess this was from back in July.

  • This is one of the first DOS computer games he played.

  • Not sure if I have it or not, but I don't,

  • so yeah, it's similar to Shadow Gate.

  • Interesting, yeah, I guess it looks

  • a little Shadow Gate-y maybe.

  • Yeah, anyway, never played it, intrigued to do so.

  • Thank you, Scott.

  • And we've got one here from Zach.

  • Oh yeah, there we go, an absolute classic

  • that I somehow didn't own, Gizmos & Gadgets!,

  • a Super Solvers game.

  • It was a lot of fun actually, if I remember.

  • Haven't really played it since I was a kid.

  • Very cool, a little faded on the spine there,

  • but that's all right, thank you, Zach!

  • And we've got one here from Texas,

  • and I don't know who it's from.

  • Oh right!

  • So these are a couple of items from the warehouse,

  • actually, at Computer Reset.

  • This is from Chris, who also happens to,

  • I guess, work for 1UpOnCancer.

  • Yeah, they're a nonprofit, they help with like,

  • cancer treatment bills and paying those off.

  • And that's extremely expensive stuff here,

  • so an awesome nonprofit.

  • And yeah, anyway, thank you Chris for sending

  • these things along, and also a whole bunch of things.

  • Look at that.

  • 1UpOnCancer does a whole bunch of gaming fundraisers,

  • I think on Twitch and like, all sorts of different things.

  • Check them out, and thanks for the goodies.

  • I've got so many t-shirts this time! [chuckling]

  • So many t-shirts!

  • Yeah, a couple of these, which I was not, I mean,

  • I just totally didn't see them.

  • I guess they were over in the warehouse somewhere,

  • but the warehouse is gigantic.

  • So David Leadbetter's Greens,

  • Instructional 3D Golf Simulation.

  • It's apparently some weird Micro Prose

  • upgrade version of this.

  • I've never seen it before.

  • And then, of course, we have another Geoworks thing,

  • Geoworks Desktop here, a bit of an older thing.

  • It's just the desktop version,

  • it's not the whole ensemble software suite.

  • So this will definitely go along.

  • Actually, you can see the rest of it

  • in that little picture there.

  • But yeah, definitely gonna do something with Geoworks.

  • And these things fascinate me, and once again,

  • thank you for sending them my way, Chris.

  • A bit of a long one here from Pat in New York.

  • Well, this is a thing,

  • the Innov@t, [stammering comically] Keybo@rding,

  • oh man, these @ signs!

  • Keybo@rding for Dummies.

  • "Advanced speech recognition system

  • "designed to enhance productivity."

  • Yeah, it's an IBM ViaVoice thing, but it's like,

  • a whole keyboard setup.

  • You've got a keyboard, but it's got like,

  • microphone and headphone inputs and stuff.

  • Man, I don't know, this is a weird way of doing this.

  • There are a whole ton of ViaVoice things.

  • I wanted to cover ViaVoice in some fashion,

  • because I actually did use a version of it at one point.

  • But nothing like this, so this is weird,

  • and amusing, thank you very much.

  • Got another one here from an unknown sender in New York.

  • Space filler, disregard.

  • It's filler from space!

  • How can I disregard that?

  • It's the new-agey biofeedback software

  • he recently emailed me about.

  • Yes, if anything, I hope I can give a proper shakedown.

  • Thank you, Ty and Tav?

  • T-A-V?

  • Ty and Tav.

  • Mm-hmm, yep, my kind of weirdness.

  • The Journey to Wild Divine: The Passage.

  • "A meditation adventure for mind and body."

  • You know, I've seen a few different meditation thingies

  • for computers over the years, but this one,

  • with its finger sensors and like, Myst-like environment,

  • definitely had my attention.

  • Biofeedback, let's, you know, who knows?

  • We'll see!

  • I've gotta try this out at some point.

  • This one's pretty heavy.

  • It's from Jacob.

  • Lots and lots of inserts and manuals to like,

  • random, random things.

  • Ah, here we go, here's what actually gave the OK to send.

  • So yeah, check this out,

  • got quite a bunch of PC Gamer magazines from the '90s.

  • Yeah, dude, I absolutely love these.

  • Some other ones in here too.

  • PC Games Magazine, Computer Gaming World Magazine.

  • It's mostly the PC Gamer ones that I was really

  • interested in, like I think that's from 1996 and '97,

  • April, January, these are just great.

  • Mostly because they also came with the CD-ROMs.

  • And I have most, well, not most of them.

  • I have a lot of the CDs, but yeah, ooh man, instantly,

  • just look at this, look at that!

  • Whoa, two page ad for Pod!

  • I actually have a version of this that I had

  • printed out and like, blown up in poster form.

  • But if anything like the ads,

  • oh, a Simcopter ad!

  • Ah, yeah, dude!

  • Living with Win 95, Dan Bennett.

  • See, that's the kind of person I trust

  • to tell me about Windows 95.

  • I think I've cosplayed as him! [laughing]

  • Look at that, we've got like, the same glasses, man!

  • Picked those up at a thrift store.

  • Anyway, thank you for these, definitely gonna be using them

  • at some point in the future when I cover like,

  • PC Gamer demo disks and I'm not as familiar

  • with the other magazines, so I will have fun

  • reading them and such.

  • Thank you.

  • All right, another one here from Mike.

  • Okay, "As promised, here's the games.

  • "And I took the liberty to throw in some junk."

  • Well, you know.

  • It's some IBM-related stuff?

  • Microchannel graphics card, ATI chip on there.

  • IBM S390 Video Manual.

  • Got a small box copy of Schizm,

  • and a nice box copy there of Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp,

  • for Windows 95, neat.

  • Oh yeah, here's one I've been wanting for awhile,

  • is the Tristan Solid State Pinball.

  • Oh, it's got a pinball inside!

  • There's a couple pinball games for PC

  • that I've come across that do that.

  • This used to be quite the respected pinball game,

  • if I recall, at least among a certain number

  • of folks in the PC pinball community

  • for a point in time.

  • And this copy of Corporation,

  • that is some box art right there.

  • And got a very nice condition box for Car and Driver here.

  • Something I covered awhile back, but yeah,

  • this is a better condition box than the one I had.

  • If anything, it looks like it came with maybe a little

  • bit, oops, maybe a little bit more stuff,

  • like these lovely looking disks.

  • I don't know, just couldn't say no when he offered it.

  • [chuckling] I love this game.

  • Now we've got a copy of Overlord here,

  • a Virgin Mastertronic release.

  • That's some neat looking art.

  • Oh yes, here we go, check this out,

  • Mr. Sound FX. [chuckling]

  • "A collection of weird and wacky sounds

  • "that will blow you away."

  • Not for sale, hmm.

  • Property of Egghead Software.

  • I wonder how this happened.

  • It's Michael Winslow being weird and awesome, I assume?

  • It's just like, sound effects in a collection for Windows.

  • Like, I guess you can just use his noises

  • for your Windows sounds.

  • Oh, here we go, here's one I didn't have.

  • A Jetfighter II here,

  • as well as the Advanced Mission Disk over here.

  • In this nice looking funky box.

  • And some more flight stuff, a wonderful condition

  • copy here of Mantis XF5700 Experimental Fighter.

  • And this is the one I was more interested in

  • with these two here.

  • This is the Experimental Speech Pack.

  • This is just a speech pack, so awesome. [chuckling]

  • I didn't have this at all,

  • so thank you for all these things!

  • Some great condition stuff here.

  • Alrighty, and this interesting-looking box from Belgium.

  • I believe it's from Steve?

  • Wow, what is this?

  • Blokken 3?

  • It appears to be a quiz show on TV

  • that combines video games and trivia.

  • Somebody from the area will have to enlighten me

  • on that one, that's a first. [chuckling]

  • Never heard of this.

  • But this is what he said he was gonna send.

  • Check this out!

  • This is an old Ricoh digital camera,

  • the same one that is making like,

  • interesting 360 cams and other things today.

  • But RDC-i 700 Image Capturing Device,

  • and also an Internet communicator,

  • like, personal digital assistant, almost.

  • It's like a weird mix of things.

  • I had never heard of it before.

  • What a weird design.

  • And it takes Compact 5 card and PCMCIA.

  • All sorts, it's just weird.

  • This is just so weird.

  • I really hope it works.

  • How do I open this, just lift it?

  • Oh yeah, so look at that!

  • This is delightful, it rotates around, too.

  • This is just nuts!

  • It's got a stylus! [chuckling]

  • So strange, I love it!

  • Again, I hope it works.

  • But could be weird, it's got some weird batteries

  • and all sorts of funky components

  • that could go wrong.

  • Either way, thanks so much for sending this my way.

  • Done, yeah, this is awesome.

  • And one final one here from AkBKukU,

  • who yeah, YouTuber, awesome fella.

  • [chuckling]

  • Anyone care to guess what kind of contents are in here?

  • Because I've gotta say, dude,

  • you went all out with this packaging.

  • So this is the kind of YouTuber he is.

  • This was on top.

  • It appears there may have been a switch at some point.

  • [clicking] Anyway, here's what's in the box.

  • Look at all these!

  • So it's like, an odd collection of Barbie things.

  • Many of them in other languages.

  • Yeah man, I now have one of the most bizarre collections

  • of Barbie games on the planet, I believe,

  • all in one fell swoop. [chuckling]

  • What?

  • Okay, maybe the note will have a little more information.

  • So he stumbled onto these Barbie games at a local store.

  • There was so much going on with them.

  • Two dollars, all sealed, almost every single one of them

  • in a different language.

  • Picked them up, let me know about them.

  • But the story doesn't quite end there.

  • Once he went up to the register,

  • he found something there new at the store.

  • Once a day, a random customer gets their purchase for free,

  • and today was his lucky day.

  • Okay, so he got all of these for free.

  • [chuckling]

  • "The Japanese one is labeled "Sample,"

  • "so I wonder if all these language versions

  • "were never released?"

  • That's a good point, but anyway,

  • thank you very much, Shelby,

  • and that's quite the unique note.

  • I'm sure this would be a unique thing too,

  • if it worked.

  • I found the switch, looks like it just sort of came apart

  • in transit or something.

  • The hard glue didn't hold up.

  • But anyway.

  • [electronic version of "Barbie Girl" by Aqua]

  • So there's the "Sample" sticker he was telling me about,

  • the UPC being covered up there.

  • And like I said, it's just an unusually tall box.

  • Like, this right here is a typical big box size.

  • Like, I know it's got some stationery

  • and stuff in there, but still, it's gigantic!

  • Yeah, that is the question, were these released?

  • Odd collection.

  • Thank you very much for sending these my way.

  • All right, and that is another unboxing

  • of donations video done,

  • and this actually might be the last one this year,

  • because like I said earlier,

  • it's the first time I've done one of these videos

  • since last April.

  • You know, I don't take in many things.

  • It's like, maybe I say okay to one or two donations

  • every week at most.

  • But you know, over half a year, it does kinda pile up.

  • So it'll probably be some time in 2020 before

  • I do another one of these.

  • But anyway, thank you to everyone, once again,

  • for just sending things in,

  • or just offering to send things in

  • and supporting the channel in any number of other ways.

  • 2019 has been a fantastic year so far.

  • I don't know, there's awesome things coming up.

  • I mean, I'm just about to head up to the Chicago area

  • and do a convention of sorts.

  • I am not making like, an official appearance,

  • I'm just going there.

  • Vintage Computer Festival Midwest,

  • so if you see me there, say hi,

  • and if not, I guess, this is in the past at this point,

  • so it doesn't matter.

  • But thanks once again for supporting the show,

  • and sending all the cool stuff,

  • and just being generally excellent people. [chuckling]

  • See you all in the next one with some more

  • traditional LGR things in the coming weeks.
