Opening up an unused* in the box PlayStation 2 built in 2000! Sony released the system over two decades ago and for whatever reason this felt like the right time to unbox a fat one, set it up, go through its peripherals, and play some games.

When Hurricane Helene hit my home in Asheville, North Carolina in September 2024, two oak trees fell through the roof and wrecked the place. Including the main LGR vintage computer collection downstairs where lots of rain water leaked through, resulting in moisture and mold issues. This first part of the cleanup process is unboxing the moldy boxes, evaluating the damage, and cleaning the surfaces of things! Internal cleaning and testing will occur later. ● Western NC is still recovering, please consider donating to helpful organizations: https://www.bpr.org/bpr-news/2024-09-28/list-ways-to-donate-and-help-flood-victims-in-western-north-carolina-after-hurricane-helene ● LGR things elsewhere: https://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.twitter.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.facebook.com/LazyGameReviews 00:00 intro & progress update 03:58 Intel Dot Station 08:53 Acer Ferrari laptop 13:08 Avon Beauty Vision 16:40 J.Bond 386 PC 17:49 17" ViewSonic CRT 19:12 Apple Newton tablet 23:50 Box of Amiga stuff 27:16 Compaq Prolinea AIO 29:42 Tandy power switcher 30:51 Packard Bell VX88 32:49 Packard Bell PB500 34:40 NEC AccuSync 70 36:57 Zenith Data Systems CRT 38:42 Checkmate Amiga 1200 45:32 Amstrad PC1512 CRT 49:00 IBM PS/2 13" CRT 51:20 Epson QX-10 system 57:30 Boxed Packard Bell 486 01:04:05 part two coming soon #LGR #asheville #hurricane

Two trees cleaved through my house after Hurricane Helene blew through my mountain home of Asheville. While I’ve shown that the damage to the structure is intense, many have asked what happened to the LGR retro collection, vintage computers, video games and such. So here’s an update! Of course the most important thing to me is that myself, my family, and my friends here are safe. But I am also deeply thankful it was not any worse in terms of items destroyed or damaged. The majority of old hardware and software survived, and LGR videos (eventually) will continue! ● Consider donating to local organizations helping Western NC recover: https://www.bpr.org/bpr-news/2024-09-28/list-ways-to-donate-and-help-flood-victims-in-western-north-carolina-after-hurricane-helene ● LGR elsewhere: https://www.twitter.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.facebook.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviews 00:00 progress so far 01:00 inside damage 04:06 affected items 09:38 stuff safe in storage #LGR #asheville #hurricane

Rambling about the current state of The Sims 4 after having just passed the ten year anniversary of the game's release.

Unboxing, setting up, and enjoying the Voodoo 3 3500 TV card from 3dfx. When it launched in 1999 it was one of the best GPUs around, and the fastest V3 from the factory! Its main appeal though is its TV and FM radio tuning and video capture abilities, all thanks to its big long dongle. ● Join as an LGR '486' or 'Pentium' member to access perks! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLx053rWZxCiYWsBETgdKrQ/join ● LGR links: https://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.twitter.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.facebook.com/LazyGameReviews ● Background music licensed from Epidemic Sound: https://www.epidemicsound.com/ 00:00 intro 01:00 historical context 05:07 unboxing 07:31 installation 09:14 initial testing 10:32 driver woes 12:05 analog video input 13:35 television software 17:43 radio application 19:11 InterVideo WinDVD 20:43 Ulead VideoStudio 3 23:10 Quake III issues 25:00 more driver oddities 26:12 Quake 3 benchmark 27:07 Forsaken 27:48 Midtown Madness 2 28:32 Max Payne 29:52 3DMark 99 Max 30:36 outroduction #LGR #retro #gaming #graphics

Retrospective on the PV-SD4090 digital camera from 1999!

The original emerald green Acer Aspire is a 90s classic! A once-common PC that has become a desired rarity for its styling by Hartmut Esslinger's Frog Design group.

Unboxing and setting up this 80s retro oddity on LGR! The Intermatrix Mac Phone is an early peripheral for the original Apple Mac computer from 1984.

It's been ages since I first covered this so it's high time for a revisit! Streets of SimCity was a flawed jankfest of a game, yet I've always had a fondness for it.

I've made a huge mistake and ignored the first rule of vintage computing: NEVER buy an old inkjet printer, especially a 90s Canon. Yet here we are with a BJC-2000 color printer from 1999... in an ideal world this was gonna be a fun romp into Windows 95 Bubble Jet printing, plus a test of the IS-22 scanner cartridge.

Celebrating the 25th anniversary of SimCity 3000! The third game in the classic Maxis city builder series had a false start in 3D form, but after EA took over and development restarted, the final 1999 game ended up being my favorite in the franchise.

An LGR review of the Book 8088 and Hand 386, newly-made retro computers on Aliexpress! No emulation here, these are DOS PCs running an 8088 and 386SX processor, using legacy chips on custom PCBs melded with open source projects, off-the-shelf components, and injection molded enclosures.

Looking back at the Timex Data Link Model 70, an early smartwatch introduced by Microsoft in 1994 for Windows 3.1 PCs! It stores up to 70 data entries viewable on its LCD screen, but its real party trick is how it wirelessly synchronizes with a CRT monitor. Just point your wrist at the screen and data transfer begins, it's awesome. And it's NASA approved for space travel, too! ● LGR links: https://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.twitter.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.facebook.com/LazyGameReviews ● Archives of the DataLink floppy disks can be found here: https://archive.org/details/timex-datalink-disks ● All background music licensed from: http://www.epidemicsound.com #LGR #Oddware #Watches

Gain a head start in 80s computing with the system approved by King Kong Bundy! The HeadStart is a lovely turbo XT clone that was smack dab in the middle of the market, entirely by design. Yet it included enough in the way of features, documentation, and software to make it as easy as possible for first time computer users. And despite the Dutch Vendex branding it was built by Samsung, so that's a whole rabbit hole on its own! ● LGR links: https://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.twitter.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.facebook.com/LazyGameReviews ● Grab an archive of the Turbo 888-XT floppy disk software here: https://archive.org/details/vendex-headstart-bundle ● All background music licensed from: http://www.epidemicsound.com #LGR #Retro #Computers

MP3s! In the late 90s few things were more exciting in the world of music, computers, the internet, and general gadgetry. And the original 1998 Diamond Rio was one of the trailblazers that kicked off the whole portable digital audio player craze. It may not have been the very first, but it came close! If nothing else, its impact was noteworthy from being the first to be commercially successful in North America, and the legal pushback it endured from the RIAA set a lasting precedent for all other MP3 players to come. ● LGR links: https://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.twitter.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.facebook.com/LazyGameReviews ● All background music licensed from: http://www.epidemicsound.com #LGR #Retro #Technology

3D Lemmings (aka Lemmings 3D) was released in 1995, and it wasn't long before it got its own Christmas holiday themed edition, "Winterland." As far as 90s 3D updates to classic 2D games go, it wasn't awful! Assuming you can solve its biggest puzzle of all: 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝟑𝐃 𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐚. RE-UPLOAD: Added some effects to the intro skit. I ended up receiving a bunch of comments from folks saying how much they disliked it, were confused by it, or even found it offensive. That is not the kind of response I ever want from a video, so it seemed worth re-editing. No one made any demands, but to me it made sense to edit things in order to avoid confusion in the future. In hindsight, the original skit out of context did not convey what I envisioned for the clone storyline anyway (the busted clones being stuck in a glitchy digital simulation.) The only thing different is there are now audiovisual glitches to imply the clones are broken sims, continuing the story in episodes from years prior. Everything else in the video remains the same! 00:00 Council of the Christmas Clones 01:09 Throwback LGR Intro 01:27 Lemmings and 3D Lemmings 03:48 3D Lemmings Winterland 11:48 Game End and Summary ● LGR links: https://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.twitter.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.facebook.com/LazyGameReviews ● Background music licensed from: https://www.epidemicsound.com #LGR #Christmas #Review

Sound Blaster over the parallel port?! YEP. This one's all about the DSP Solutions Digispeech Plus, a sound device for DOS and Windows PCs that connects via the parallel port. It's not restricted to simple OPL2/3 stuff, nor is it a Covox Speech Thing/DSS clone. The DS311 simply plugs in, runs a TSR, and lets you select Sound Blaster mode in classic computer games using nothing more than the humble printer port.

Checking out the IBM 7532 Industrial Computer, introduced in May of 1985 at $6149. Prices only went up from there, easily surpassing $10000 for a decent setup with EGA and a hard drive! It's one monster of a rackmount 286, built for use in professional environments like factories, power plants, and alongside mainframes.

Dang, it's been a while! Finally got together enough footage for a full, real episode of LGR Thrifts. I've been visiting stores here and there this whole time, but nowhere near as often as I used to.

An LGR retrospective about Fujitsu's Fin Fin on Teo the Magic Planet, a (sort of) voice-controlled virtual pet for Windows PCs from 1996! Specifically the 1997 US Deluxe Edition that came with a plastic bird whistle and its own microphone. The press were enamored with FinFin for a time but it seems to have disappeared almost entirely from the public consciousness in the years since. So let's befriend this weird alien dolphin bird from the 90s! ● LGR links: https://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.twitter.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.facebook.com/LazyGameReviews ● Music courtesy of: http://www.epidemicsound.com #LGR #Retro #Gaming

This is a bit of a different Thrifts in terms of how it came together. With all that's going on I haven't gone out much at all, so there's very little footage here that's recent. I had a decent amount recorded from before March 2020, just not enough for a full episode. So I filled out the video with stuff that didn't make the cut in older episodes! If currents trends are any indication, this will be the final Thrifts video for a while, at least in its usual form.

If you were a professional that needed to plop arrows onto a CRT TV screen in the 80s, the FOR-A Video Pointer was the device for you!

Can take 10 or more minutes on some CPUs. 10: Copy opengl32.dll from the folder of the same name in the patch archive, paste it into the Doom 3 game folder alongside the main executable for the game 11: Open Doom 3, pressing escape to skip intro videos if needed. Open the options menu, change a setting or two, then apply/save/exit the game 12: Navigate back to "Doom 3\base" folder and open DoomConfig.cfg with a text editor like Notepad 13: Add the line seta r_singlelight “0” to the file, right below the final seta r_ line you see 14: Save the config file, then right-click the file, properties and choose "read only" 15: Open Doom 3 and see if you can start a new game.

Looking back at the turbo button! Personal computers came with these things for years, then they just disappeared. But they're not forgotten. To clarify further: the turbo button does not overclock your CPU or make it go faster than its intended speed. Even if pressing your turbo button made things faster, that just meant it was allowing you to use your normal CPU speed. The initial function of the turbo button is just a matter of which method the PC booted up in: turbo enabled or disabled. This is what I talked about with the BIOS settings at 03:15. It made sense to have the default boot setting be "turbo disabled" for most manufacturers, because otherwise you'd have lots of people using their computer at a slower speed all the time, not knowing they had to press the turbo button to run with the advertised performance! Turbo buttons are no longer needed because programmers stopped designing software that depended on clock speed to run correctly, and people by and large stopped using older software that still did. There are exceptions to this of course, but for the most part the turbo button ceased being a requirement due to popular software of the late-90's running fine on any CPU. Nowadays, there are games that depend on frame rates to run their physics correctly, but this is another issue entirely. ● Consider supporting LGR on Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviews ● Social links: https://twitter.com/lazygamereviews http://www.facebook.com/LazyGameReviews ● Music used: "Sydney's Skyline" by ALBIS https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/music

It's December, and that means Christmas game reviews! To start things off, we've got the Xmas spin-off to Natural Fawn Killers. The game has you play a psycho hunter in a Santa suit, sniping the heads off cute creatures, and tests the patience of gamers with its lackluster gameplay.

The Apple II was one of the first major successes in personal computing, and as a result Apple released several variants, culminating in the IIGS in 1986. Although soon phased out in favor of the Macintosh, the IIGS was a worthwhile machine for years. But is it still worth owning to a current collector of vintage computers? This is an overview of the history, hardware, and software of the IIGS from the perspective of a classic computer collector. How do the pros and cons stack up, and is it worth getting a IIGS considering the other, more popular 16-bit 80's computers?

Arcade ports in the 80's were very much hit and miss, often sacrificing extra graphics, sound, and controls. But rotary joysticks or not, Ikari Warriors for the PC is one manly good time. Oh and yes, I am now a part of Retroware TV! Thanks to Pat, John, and the others there who have been in touch with me to make this happen. Check out their site for my retro-focused reviews in the future, as well as plenty of other fantastic retro gaming content! http://www.retrowaretv.com/ Just to make one thing clear: videos are still going to be in the same places, just more places. Basically, it's like how things are now, except with RWTV involved. Videos still go to Blip (and now RWTV) first, and then YouTube and everything soon after. Hooray for more exposure and such!

From what I can gather, this building was originally built as a church, which started construction in 1884. It was turned into a laundry in 1891, and then heavily renovated around 1940 by architect William Dodge. The Swannanoa Laundry (now named Swannanoa Cleaners) moved out some time after that, but the building remains in a state of disrepair. NOTE: I do not condone entering these types of places alone or without permission! I had someone with me, had permission to enter, and the floors and such were checked to make sure they were stable before walking around. Want to truly be safe? Don't do it at all. But of course, what's the fun in that? UPDATE: This location has now been demolished :( http://i.imgur.com/uNVdwqd.jpg

Overview of the Mouse Systems optical PC Mouse from 1986! Optical pointing devices may not have been very common until the turn of the century, but you have to go all the way back to the mid-80's to see their origins. Apparently, it was largely popular with businesses using workstation computers, like various machines from Sun. It retailed at $295 USD in 1983.

The BBC Microcomputer was Acorn's follow-up to the Atom, and launched in 1981. Largely due to its BBC backing, the computer was quite successful in the UK, especially among schools and businesses. But is it still worth owning to a current collector of vintage computers? This is an overview of the history, hardware, and software of the Beeb from the perspective of an American collector.

The Kryoflux is a board that connects old floppy drives to newer computers via USB. It allows for low-level reading of disks to RAW data and floppy images.

A new MS-DOS game? From the year 2011? Yes, they DO exist, and this awesome Pac-Man game by Jason Knight is living proof! Download Paku Paku (v1.5 was shown in video, v1.6 fixes the issues I was having with CMS sounds and freezing) http://www.deathshadow.com/pakuPaku http://www.classicdosgames.com/game/Paku_Paku.html Play the game online http://www.deathshadow.com/pakuPakuLive Jason M. Knight's Blog http://my.opera.com/deathshadow/blog/ Enjoy LGR http://www.lazygamereviews.com/ Regarding gameplay logic, this is directly from the dev, Jason Knight: The game logic is similar in most respects to the original, though due to the 8:3 reduction in game resolution many elements had to be dropped or faked. For example the animation appeared jerky trying to make the ghosts move faster or slower than PakuPaku, so they are for the most part the same speed. In the original you could take corners faster than the ghosts by clipping the edges of each turn -- this was called "cornering" by most players. It was impractical to recreate that at such a low resolution so instead I gave the player a one pixel "boot in the patoot" at every corner to give a slight advantage. When the ghost go into 'flee' mode when you eat one of the four super-pellets the ghosts are cut to half speed -- this proved using the 'random movement' logic to be too easy despite being remarkably close to the original game's logic. As such I have changed their flee logic to be a bit more intelligent, making you have to put a bit more effort into hunting them down. Likewise their pursuit mode logic is a bit different -- for the most part the red ghost still tracks you directly, the magenta ghost tries to get in front of you, the cyan one's accuracy decreases the further away the red one is from you, and the brown one is still a bit... silly... but they've been tweaked with a bit of randomness to make them a hair less predictable. Likewise the movement restructions of not being able to turn upwards at the two center "T" shaped maze section while present, has a 1 in 10 chance of being ignored... just to give players a bit of a surprise every once in a while. The level progressions follow the original game fairly closely, the entire game speeding up or slowing down depending on the level you are playing. The fastest level speed is pretty quick, even compared to the original so be ready for a bit of a challenge in that department.

Bullfrog's Theme Hospital is like no other management sim you have ever played. Well, except for maybe its predecessor Theme Park. Still, nothing like a little bloaty head and slack tongue to start the day off right! ● Get Theme Hospital DRM-free on GOG, just $5.99! http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/theme_hospital ● Please consider helping support LGR on Patreon! http://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviews Also check out the remake project, Corsix-TH: http://code.google.com/p/corsix-th/ I forgot to add that the last official patch for the game added multiplayer capability. Serial and modem connections allow for two players to compete in building the best hospital while competing against two computer-controlled hospitals, while the IPX/SPX option allows up to four players to compete against each other on a network for the best hospital.

The Creative Music System is a forgotten sound standard, but that doesn't mean it's lame! This is the history, installation, and demonstration of the C/MS sound card. Technically, what's shown is a Sound Blaster 1.5 with CMS chips installed, but the focus is on the C/MS itself, not SB.

Seriously though, the game is great. But this was too hard to pass up, and in an odd way it really does sum up the point of the entire game. Endlessly conflicting choices! And DOPEFISH. Ripping off TGWTG? What a shame.

The Atari ST was introduced right before the Commodore Amiga in 1985. Popular with gamers, musicians and desktop publishers, the ST earned its right as one of the best 16-bit computers of its day. But is it still worth owning to a current collector of vintage computers? This is an overview of the history, hardware and software of the ST from the perspective of an American collector. How do the pros and cons stack up, and is it worth getting an ST over similar systems like the Amiga?

Found a freaking awesome local video arcade, where all games are 25 cents to play. Literally a hole-in-a-wall at the local flea market, filled with the smell of saw dust, popcorn and drinks of all kinds. Yes, I am going to be spending far too much time here. I didn't get to show Turbo Outrun (full size sit-down cabinet with moving seat force feedback!) or Mortal Kombat 2 machines, they were in another stall packed away behind some old records. Looks like several of the games are in various states of disrepair (broken joysticks, shoddy switches, missing coin slots, CRT problems) but most of them are playable with minor issues. Some rather unique cabs here though, which makes the trip worth it. Located at Smiley's in Fletcher, NC.

Yes, the game is kind of crap. But it's enjoyable Duke crap. It's no Duke3D, in fact, in pales in comparison. But I had fun with what it was: an average, broken, rescued game that happens to have Duke Nukem in it. Randy Pitchford's cheeseburger vs. caviar analogy makes a lot of sense.

With 1995's Descent, the first-person shooter world was turned on its head. Pyrotechnica is one of the inevitable games "inspired" by its success. Strip things down, make things more challenging, apply a very contrasting color scheme and this is what you get!

For those of us without a physical keyboard on their smartphone, aDosBox just doesn't cut it. DOSBox SDL to the rescue! Just quickly showing off the capability of this WIP MS-DOS emulator for Android devices. Word Rescue is the game chosen to demonstrate DOS gaming, so it ties in somewhat to Edutainment Month! Download the APK here: http://anddev.at.ua/load/emulators/dosbox_0_74/2-1-0-12 I'd also recommend trying out anDOSBox.

What is The Sims Medieval, really? How different is it from other Sims games? Is it worth buying? Find out in this video review! ● Please consider helping support LGR on Patreon! http://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviews The Sims Medieval for Windows and Macintosh computers. EXTRA NOTE: One thing I wasn't sure if I should mention in the review was the way the game "endings" happen - if you don't want spoilers, don't read this. After your kingdom ambition is completed and your kingdom is practically fully-upgraded with lots of high-level heroes, you are forced to start over with a new kingdom to continue playing. While you can choose one of your successful heroes to take over as the new monarch in an extra (and optional) quest, I really wish you could have continued with your original kingdom. You can either play the old one in "free mode" or you must make a new one and possibly do many of the same quests over again, re-building and re-creating everything again with every new kingdom ambition. Not exactly a "flaw", but while I think I understand why they did this, it's a questionable design decision and not exactly ideal to me. EXTRA EXTRA NOTE: Many of the complaints I had about the game have been fixed as of patch 1.3 on April 30th. Notes: New Feature: Free Play Ambition - Set up your perfect kingdom without worrying about long term goals. In this special ambition, you can play quests when you wish, or control up to four heroes at once in a more open free play mode. New Feature: Child Succession - If a Hero Sim dies, but already has children, you can choose to have one of the children grow up and take over their parent's job! Camera improvements - Have you ever wanted to get a better view of the action? The camera now allows tighter zooming and full 360 rotation in buildings. End Game Improvements - Similar to the Free Play Ambition, can now play quests, earn XP, and build buildings even after your ambition is completed! Hero Leveling Improvements - Can now gain XP beyond level 10 for all heroes, giving additional benefits. Brave New World Quest Improvements -- When you complete the quest "Brave New World" and start a new ambition with that character, he or she will now retain several abilities from their previous profession! Kingdom Aspect Improvements - Can now gain additional benefits when increasing aspects beyond their maximum capacity And many more! This is why these things are listed are problems I had with the game in the video... at the time this video was made, shortly after launch, these were very real problems. They have now been fixed and are no longer problems.

Unlike Bullfrog's Theme Hospital, SimHealth is not a fondly-remembered, fun and lighthearted game. No, SimHealth is a Maxis simulation that is forgotten, bland and rather serious.

Basic tutorial showing how to make your own custom clothing and how to install it in your Sims 3 game to play with! Ever want your sims to have their own completely unique clothing, maybe with your favorite brand or design? Here is the tutorial to watch! This walkthrough uses Windows 7 and Adobe Photoshop CS4. Other software combinations can be used but the steps may be slightly different. This also assumes basic knowledge of file types, archives, graphics editing and software manipulation.

The Acorn Electron was the baby brother of the BBC Micro, both of which are relatively unknown outside of the UK and Europe.

So the Voodoo is an amazing card for older PCs, but what about the Mac? Is it even possible to run a PCI 3D graphics card made for Windows under Mac OS? This is just a quick overview and a test of a 3Dfx Voodoo2 PC card being installed in a Mac Performa 6400 computer, using special Glide extensions. Quake is used for benchmark purposes, because it's awesome. Yes, there were Macintosh versions of the Voodoo cards made, but those are somewhat hard to come by. But this is the testing of a card without the Mac BIOS, originally made for PCs!

A quick review of the game Light Force by Fast Than Light in 1986, played on a 48k Sinclair ZX Spectrum computer. One of the more technically impressive games I've come across for the Speccy, and a pretty fun little vertically scrolling shooter as well. Now in "high definition", ooooh. Though I don't really see the point, 480p 16:9 videos seem to be only nominally lower quality.

So I got a new camera for my birthday. And some cash. What better way to test it out than to make a nauseating shaky-cam video of random junk? Besides, people often ask where I find my retro stuff. This is the answer: Goodwill stores and Goodwill Outlet centers. Okay, so maybe it's not the best result, but hey. This was just me and my brother farting around and seeing what worked and doesn't work on the new "HD" camera, while finding random junk for cheap at various thrift stores. Wasn't sure if I was going to upload it, but I figured "what the heck"?

Another shareware cult classic, Jetpack was and is a great platform game in the vein of Lode Runner and Jumpman. And there was a totally awesome Christmas edition with 10 new levels and the ability to control a jetpack-wielding Santa Claus! And no, there is no relation to the Jetpac and Jetman games by Ultimate Play The Game. The Jetpack games are now freeware! Get them from Adept Software and RGB: http://www.adeptsoftware.com/jetpack/ http://www.classicdosgames.com/game/Jetpack.html You can also download the original shareware Christmas Special: http://www.classicdosgames.com/game/Jetpack_Christmas_Special%21.html

It's December and that means Lazy Game Reviews Christmas videos! And today to fit the bill is a game that barely qualifies as a Christmas game, but Xmas is in the title so that counts, right? The special edition of the cult classic Sky Roads by Blue Moon Software! Maddeningly simple... move, jump, get to the next road. Awesome. But man, this game hates you. You have been warned.

Ever wonder about the first PC sound card standard? Or maybe you have fond memories. Check out this video of the history, unboxing and installation of the original Ad Lib Music Synthesizer Card! Dinky IBM PC speakers still cringe and cower in fear of the mighty YM3812 FM chip. Be sure and check out part 2 for examples of the AdLib card in action, using the original vintage hardware captured via line-in. It's some awesome. And yes, I said "greetings greetings" at the start of the video. That's what I get for rushing a video even more than usual! :D The background music in the first half of the vid is "Power Grid" and "Nightlife" from the SimCity 3000 soundtrack.

Showing off the AdLib capabilities using a direct line from the card to a modern PC, demonstrating Jukebox and various game clips on a vintage 16Mhz 386SX computer. Pure frequency modulated bliss. Hook in your sub and crank up those speakers! I really wish YouTube didn't degrade the sound quality as much as it did, it really diminished the full effect.

There's just something special about certain platform games and Fire & Ice is one of them. The solid gameplay, great environments, cheery audio and searing difficulty combine to make a memorable experience that can be a joy to experience. An arctic coyote that shoots balls from his mouth and somehow stole large portions of my childhood awaits... Fire and Ice The Daring Adventures of Cool Coyote reviewed on a 1MB A500 Covers the Commodore Amiga, IBM PC, Atari ST, CD32 and Sega Master System versions. My apologies to Acorn, but it's their fault for having such a hard to find machine, the Archimedes, resulting in me not being able to find the game for it. If anyone has this version, let me know as I'd love to see it!

There's some totally rad easter eggs in Black Ops and as a retro computing geek I am quite pleased. A text adventure on your modern game console? A UNIX-like command line interface and a Smash TV clone? Excellent. Watch in 720p for best visual results, Zork's text is appropriately small! Played on a Windows 7 PC, recorded with Fraps (which oddly resulted in some random choppy footage).

Don Bluth's "Dragon's Lair" is awesome. But the PC port from 1989? It leaves a bit to be desired. Overprotective copy protection, repetition, odd controls, repetition, bugs and repetition. Dragons Lair for MS-DOS EGA PCs At least it's more playable than that NES port.

I get a number of questions regarding what PC I would recommend to play games for MS-DOS. There are quite a few answers so in this video I give my opinions on the topic. This is an experiment with something different instead of just game reviews... More LGR involving actual reviews next week!

Review from the perspective of a casual collector of video games: is the first "PC", the IBM 5150, worth buying today? A run-down of the history, pros and cons of the system and games, what to look for and be aware of when buying, as well as some of the other 8-bit computers and revisions in the 5150 lineage. MS-DOS has never been so fine.

First came Duke Nukem, who really started the whole protagonist-with-a-personality trend. But who remembers Lo Wang? Shadow Warrior took all of the humor and ridiculous antics of Duke 3D and brought them to the East. ● Buy the downloadable version here! http://www.gog.com/gamecard/shadow_warrior_complete http://www.buy3drealms.com/ ● Please consider helping support LGR on Patreon! http://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviews ● And run the original game on modern Windows PCs with these: http://www.proasm.com/sw/swp.html http://www.jonof.id.au/jfsw

Computer audio has come quite a way since 1981. Here is a short video I made comparing the major steps from the PC speaker to Adlib on up to today's chips! At least, from the perspective of the Lucasarts classic, The Secret of Monkey Island. ● Please consider helping support LGR on Patreon! http://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviews Monkey Island was chosen due to its having a wide breadth of versions of the same song, as compared to many other games which didn't support this many cards. The final version of the song is from the recent "Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition" on PC/360/PS3 - recorded using live instruments, NOT the CD-ROM version from the early nineties. See the menu it was taken from here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtEJEwIpanE Some clips recorded by me, others from Crossfire Designs http://www.crossfire-designs.de/index.php?lang=en&what=articles&name=showarticle.htm&article=soundcards&page=1

No more waitin' for Christmas! It finally came to Duke Nukem, just after defeating those alien scum yet again. This time they've brainwashed Santa, and it's up to Duke to save Christmas in this review of: Duke Nukem Nuclear Winter add-on for MS-DOS PCs

Lemmings is one of those timeless puzzle games that's great any time of year. But at Christmastime it's only logical to break out Holiday Lemmings! And the 1994 version is the ultimate way to play this platforming classic. Here's the review of: Christmas Lemmings 1994 for Commodore Amiga computers Also came on DOS and Macintosh machines but the Amiga version is superior in nearly every way.

I've had a bit of luck finding some great games at really affordable prices in unlikely places recently. So, I figured I would tell a bit regarding my collecting practices in hopes that maybe you'll take some of the luck away from me with these tips, because frankly I'm running out of room to store all this crap. All of this in total cost me about $85. Not really an unboxing, but I open up a box of about 20 PC games and show several others that have been saved recently from the depths of thrift stores. If you have any requests for reviews let me know, as always. I also have hundreds more so just ask - I like reviewing not just "showing". Lazy Game Reviews continuing after this!

It's Christmastime and that means Christmas games! Why not start with one about the chaotic perils of Saint Nick himself? Christmas is deadly and Special Delivery proves it. This is a review of said insanity. Special Delivery for Atari 800, XL, XE, etc Also came on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 computers, but I prefer the A8 version shown here due to it's superb controls.

Lovely 1990's big box computer games! I unbox Wolfenstein 3-D and Doom sealed, mint boxes and show their gory guts for all the internet to see! This is the retail release by GT Software. Wolf3D came packed together with the shareware version of Doom in certain American retailers, to my knowledge, both in large beautiful boxes. Doom (original registered version) was never released at retail in the USA and was mail-order-only, so in effect this is one of the only American boxes for the game.

Is the first expansion pack for TS3 worth buying? Or is it more of the same... We shall see in this review! ● Buy the World Adventures Expansion cheaper on my game shop! http://www.gamefanshop.com/browse/gg892-The-Sims-3-World-Adventures/partner-phreakindee/ ● Please consider helping support LGR on Patreon! http://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviews NOTE: Many of the bugs I mentioned have been squashed by EA through the release of patches.

Adware has been around for ages and it wasn't always malicious, and Ford Simulator 2 is one of the most intriguing and classic examples of games made simply to advertise. It may not be Forza 3 but it's worth a look. Check out the CGA game FordSim2 in this review of: Ford Simulator v2 for MS-DOS Made using DosBox, unfortunately. Couldn't get the video out on my old machine to input to my capture device. So goes technology.

Pharaoh's Tomb had a sequel? You bet it did! Though most gave it the cold shoulder, it's worth a look and is an enjoyable adventure of the arctic variety.

After 12 titles and several of them disappointing, is the newest NFS worth buying? Perhaps a shift in the right direction? Lawls in this review of Slightly Mad Studio's: Need For Speed Shift ( PC version reviewed ) Also, for some reason I have found out upgrading makes a HUGE and negative difference toward handling! For instance, in my Lamborghini LP640, if I upgrade everything involving handling, and then only the engine, it will handle beautifully. But if I start upgrading the turbo, gearing, and most of the "Extra" upgrades (including large brakes) it will slide all over the place, negating any performance boosts. I assume this could be fixed by then tweaking the car to handle the performance, but what I've done doesn't seem to help and the game gives no guidance on tweaking anything so I have no idea.

Many times, British-made games seem to be exceptionally unique but still of very high quality. Mag Racer is an attempt to disprove that idea. Save the POD people in this review of: Mag-Racer for Windows, er, DOS The goal of these "Lazy Game Reviews" videos is to see how quick I can crank out a review after a long day at work, with short reviews based on a game or theme of games (this one is a single game, MagRacer for Windows 95). NOTE: The cover art for this game is actually a rip-off of the Top Gear games for SNES and Amiga! And as far as I know it has nothing to do with the crap movie "The Pod People"

Yep, there were "sexy gals" in video games before Lara Croft. But Vinyl didn't take herself too seriously. Help find the "hot plasma injector" in this review of Vinyl Goddess From Mars MS-DOS. Interesting note: This was developed as Jill of the Jungle II for Epic Megagames in 1994, but for some reason they chose not to publish it. So, the game's plot and look were changed a bit to make it more "adult", and it was released as Vinyl Goddess!

In volleyball, winners never quit and quitters never win. Unless you just don't care - and then you'll never get these beach babes. Sinjin and Stoklos rule the beach in this review of: Kings of the Beach NES & MS-DOS EGA I was on vacation when I slapped most of this together, so forgive this being completely mediocre. I thought I'd post it anyways to see what people thought.

Depth Dwellers - a poor man's Doom, a poor man's fate, a poor FPS game indeed.

Making reviews takes too long, so I give up. Here's a quick review of: Fathom Fire Fly Kangaroo Frogs & Flies Deadly Duck Watch with annotations on. The goal of these experimental videos is to see how quick I can crank out a review after a long day at work, based on a theme of games (this one is games where you play an animal). Hence the apathy and lack of willpower. You probably won't like this. Everyone's gotta start somewhere... right?

Ran across this disk in a stack of 5.25" floppies I had, time to check it out. What an entirely trippy game. Moon Dust is an "art/music" game by Creative Software in 1983. The goal is quite simple: guide stuff places, things happen, wtf? It's entirely awesome!

This is a short review of The Sims 3 by EA and "The Sims" Division. I have put together an abbreviated review (not covering ALL aspects) focusing on the top 5 reasons to buy The Sims 3 - if you've played the earlier games and didn't like them or just don't know much about it, this will give you my reasons to go and give this one a shot. Though in all fairness, I only list pros here - there are certainly cons. Look me up on The Sims Exchange under phreakindee. ● Buy the game on my game shop for less! http://www.gamefanshop.com/partner-Phreakindee/search-sims%203/ ● Please consider helping support LGR on Patreon! http://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviews I've been having people ask what computer specs I used to record this, and they are as follows: AMD Athlon X2 4600+ nVidia GeForce 8800GT 512MB 2GB DDR800 RAM Windows XP SP3

Ah, what a lovely day outside. Time for some outdoor gaming! A guy decides to spend the nice day outside playing 360, and finds out it's not as easy as it sounds once he meets his arch-nemesis. Plus, trees don't make good TVs. Made with my netbook's webcam.
