LGR - NEC MultiSpin 4Xc: 7 CD-ROM Changer
Always thought these were awesome as a kid, but now that I have one myself, well... heh, I mean it's still pretty awesome, and it's always fun opening up new old stock items like this! Wish it was better suited to multi-disc PC games though.
LGR - Canon RC-250 XapShot: 1988 Video Floppy Disk Camera
Good grief this has been an ordeal to get completed, ha. The hardware isn't the most difficult to find, but getting a complete working set? That's a pain and a half.But a ton of fun as well, really quite pleased with how this all came together! Just took a couple years of gathering items, ge...
LGR - Roland MA-12C Micro Monitors
There are few items from the background of my videos that have received as many questions as these speakers! I mean, sure, they're just retro computer speakers, but they sure are eye-catching. Heck, that eye-catching quality is half the reason I wanted them in the first place. And they cost $300...
LGR - True-X: The World's Fastest CD-ROM
Guess you could say I'm on a roll at the moment? Feels like it at least. Can't tell ya how much that vacation really massaged the "creative output" portion of my brain, I've felt energized ever since.Anyway, this is the Kenwood UCR-421, a 72x CD-ROM from 1999 that the company cla...
LGR Oddware - Sony MDH-10 MiniDisc Data Drive
EDIT: For some dumb reason YouTube decided to only show this in 360p... new version has been uploaded, HD resolutions should be working now!Here's one I've been wanting to cover for years, finally all came together! This is the Sony MDH-10 MD Data drive for personal computers. Yep, they had ...
LGR - Cleaning a BMC Monochrome Monitor from 1982
Here's one for all you clean freaks out there! Always getting requests for more videos of just tidying up old tech, so here's a video of exactly that. Same display that I found near the end of LGR Thrifts Episode 39.And yeah I had to whip out the Apple II Plus to test this one out, it was on...
LGR - NewQ Gold Graphic Equalizer for PCs
Of all the frivolous add-ons and upgrades I've installed into my PCs over the years, from audio input panels to RGB lighting, I've never actually had anything like this. This nifty little thing from 1999 sports a color VFD with a spectrum analyzer and, while catching the eye of certain PC ...
LGR - Forsaken PC Game Review
Since Forsaken Remastered is coming out (or rather, just came out today) I figured it was the ideal time to take a look back at the original Windows game from 1998!FPS games with 6DoF movement, or Descent-likes, aren't everyone's cup of tea. But if you like your tea with tons of colored ligh...
LGR - Using a Floppy Drive on a Smartphone
Bit of a smaller diversion here while I work on more involved stuff. Hope you enjoy!
(Re)Building the LGR Windows 98 Project PC
Now this one was fun to put together. Filled with unforeseen challenges and tons of retakes and modifications done on the fly, but fun regardless!Half was filmed before I went on vacation, the other half was filmed since I returned, over the course of about a month. It's actually the project tha...
LGR - Unboxing July 2018
Opening donations from the past couple months! Some excellent stuff indeed :)
LGR - After Dark Games
Ah, feels good to be back with a classic game retrospective! Hope you enjoy this one, it's been on my to-do list ever since I covered the original After Dark screensaver modules. Crap was that five years ago? 😮Thank you to everyone for your feedback regarding the previous post as well. Lots o...
Back From Vacation! ...Now What?
Had a great vacation over the past week, lots of relaxing. Thank you for the encouragement while I was gone! Seriously. I haven't really responded to much because I was avoiding social media/inboxes all I could, but it was still awesome to get uplifting messages each day. They were all seen and ...
LGR - Unboxing an '80s Amdek 310A Monitor
Another one I recorded before leaving for vacation. Just a sweet little monitor demonstration with a bit of history thrown in. Enjoy!
LGR - Gravis UltraSound Retrospective
Still taking a bit of a break behind the scenes (as described here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Gztub4_ZvI) but I put this GUS video together before I headed off into an oceanic sunset.Hope you enjoy! It's a video I've been planning for years in bits and pieces, although the past month h...
LGR - Gizmondo: The Worst-Selling Handheld Console Ever
This video is truly a combination of Oddware, Tech Tales, unboxing, camera review, game coverage, and pretty much every kind of LGR thing I do, all in one place.One of those videos that I've always wanted to make ever since I started LGR! Or really, ever since I saw the company implode back in t...
LGR - The Sims 4 Seasons Review
I do not recommend spending 30 hours in three days to make a review. I used to have a brain but it is now mush. There it is, on my keyboard as I type this. It is sticky.Oh well, this video is what resulted so I hope you enjoy!
Wireless Mechanical Keyboard from 1984! Cherry KXN3-8451
Now this is a cool keyboard. Not only does it utilize early Cherry MX Black key mechanisms, but it's also an infrared wireless keyboard replacement for the PCjr! As well as the "PC Senior," ha.Been hoping to cover some keyboards like this for a while now, so lemme know if you'd like ...
LGR - Wheel of Fortune for DOS
Well this video was not planned in any way, haha. Had a retro hardware project go temporarily haywire so I put this together over the last few days instead.No script, minimal depth, just looking at a nostalgic old game and me lazily rambling. #PutTheLazyBackInLazyGameReviews
LGR - Computer Game Catalogs 2
Turns out it's been five years since I last did one of these videos. Good grief, I could've sworn it was only a couple years back but NOPE. So I figure this follow-up was long overdue. Just a relaxed time looking through some retro software catalogs.
LGR - So I bought a Chinese Need For Speed collection
Yeah, soon as I saw this collection of 17 NFS games existed (in a big box no less!) I had to import it and explore the thing on video.
Cleaning & Restoring an IBM PS/2 Model 30
Whoo, vintage PC restoration videos! This one's been in the pipeline a while as I've been awaiting parts and working on various related projects in-between, but this section is now complete.Well, mostly anyway. Still looking for that one elusive cable...
LGR - Cities: Skylines Parklife Review
The sixth expansion pack to Skylines is here and it's pretty darned enjoyable. Will go public tomorrow but you can enjoy the somewhat early look right now!
LGR 486 Upgrade! Unboxing & Installing Windows 3.0
Time for another upgrade to the Woodgrain 486. Just a detour into the world of Windows 3.0 before moving onto version 3.1/3.11.
LGR - X10 "The Timer"
Picked this up in the last episode of Thrifts and just had to try it out with the X-10 system I covered on LGR Oddware a while back. A bit of a simpler video in scope since I really needed a break after that monstrous Unreal retrospective, but I hope it's enjoyable anyway!
LGR - Unreal 20th Anniversary Retrospective
When I set out to do this a while back, I can't say I planned to make this a half-hour monstrosity of a review video.Whatever man, this game is rad and I had things to say. Hope you enjoy the early viewing before it turns 20 on May 22nd!
Need For Speed: Porsche Unleashed: Texaco Demo CDs
So this is a bit different. Gas station PC game demo CDs from 2001!Because I mean, why not. LGR: lazy gas (station) reviews?
