Am I the only one here who likes to watch LGR while trying to sleep and almost always falling a sleep because LGR is so relaxing?

check out play with junk, and big clive. sleepytime for sure

When MS-DOS 5.0 was released, back in 1991 I believe, I was a fifth grader. I convinced my parents to buy a copy of it for me one Sunday afternoon when we were out running errands. The next day, I was "sick" (cough cough) and did not go to school so I could stay home and load it on my Amstrad PC1512-DD (complete with 40 meg hard card, 1200 baud modem later upgraded to 2400, and a Media Vision Thunderboard... that took up all three expansion slots). That was back in the last glory days of computing when it took more than a pulse to operate one and be connected to the rest of the world on one. I miss those days, and geez, watching these videos sometimes hurts me when I think about all the cool, old equipment I once had that got thrown away or sold or donated over the years! I love your videos though, man!

I'd love to watch you restore more computers!

The Microsoft BoB video is quite high on my wishlist of LGR videos. Happy holidays!

Oh and Thomas and Tim is totally classic danish 90's television animation show. See the "DR" logo on the box? That's national danish broadcasting service (Danmarks Radio). I didn't know about any games, so this is a nice surprise. Another danish classic Skipper and Skeeto 2: The Great Treasure Hunt (danish: Magnus og Myggen: den store skattejagt) is, at least in original danish version, a great point and click adventure. Please check it out sometime :) ... wow they were sent to you from Australia? *mind blown*

That Panasonic you got there is a Toughbook, or some earlier version of the same concept. We'd use them on EMS rigs since it was a bumpy environment and the thing was liable to get dropped more than a few times (hopefully in the ambulance, sometimes on the pavement - falling out of the ambulance). I know some PD's used them, too. Thanks for all the content, and Merry Christmas.

I just noticed you were over 3/4 million subs. Lots of great content on this channel! I have had a wonderful year watching it all. Hope you enjoy making these videos as much as you did 10 years ago. And best wishes in the new year Clint!

Merry Christmas! There's nothing better than getting back home from a Christmas dinner, my dexterity dramatically limited by the gigantuous amounts of food in my belly and finding out there's a new LGR video waiting for me. Best wishes and thank you for all the great content.

Merry Christmas lgr! You got me so into retro computing this year that I built my first older rig! I’m having a great Christmas and I hope you are too and I’m great full that I found your channel

Clint has better Christmas presents than the rest of us

ohhh Twinsen' s Odyssey! I have the OEM version that came with a Sound Blaster card. It was a nice adventure game, an early attemp of a 3D axteriors, 2D interiors... and the music is Awesome!

LGR Videos are always such a pleasant experience

Some really nice portable computers in this one, the Gateway looks like a great little device and both the IBMs look awesome....very jealous :)

No joke I use to love MusicMatch Jukebox.. it came with a dvd writer I had back in the day..

I used MusicMatch extensively along with my MiniDisc to record a morning radio show. My Pentium 166 OverDrive was just fast enough to keep up.

I remember my father being issued a laptop with a built in printer when he worked for Mitsubishi. When they upgraded to newer models he was very upset at losing the functionality of that built in printer.

Wow best unboxing video you have had ever. Cool old school hardware.

Twinsen's Odyssey and Relentless were 2 of my favourite games of all time. I really need to play it again.

Merry and lazy Christmas to you, Clint! Keep up the good work, love your show

No idea how my box to you got labelled as from "Diana" ... I'm gonna blame the folks at the shipping place.

Don't worry. We all have to be able to look impressed and grateful this time of year!

Merry Christmas, great load of "goodies" ..... thanks for all your hard work on your videos :)

omg a LGR unboxing video, it really is x-mas! and its snowing here right now too... thanks for all your great and entertaining videos :) also i would like to add that "epic" is actually a really fun game! my 486 barely ran it but i liked the story line part that went with it. that panasonic toughbook looks like an old military issue one from the early 2000's

I think the IRS bought a bunch of those at one point? There were three different models of them made, the first retailing for over US$5000.

Wow that Gateway Handbook reminds me of those mini laptops from the mid-late 2000's. Pretty cool looking piece of tech

Merry Christmas! You're seriously doing God's work here, and we can all enjoy these things vicariously. Please keep making these videos :)

Hope you enjoy the Handbook, I'm glad it made it intact! The back panel flips open to expose the expansion ports, it is a pretty neat little unit.

I used to have one, I bought it used in '94 or so to play Road War 2000 and word processing but when I moved into dorms I put a BIOS password on it to keep people from messing with it, got a desktop to play Heretic death-match over serial then forgot the password for the laptop. I took it apart and popped the weird proprietary CMOS battery pack out but to reset it but wasn't able to get it working again and eventually it went to electronics recycling in the Great Purge of '06. I thought it was a neat and compact machine and I hope LGR gets a chance to play with it.

I remember getting a whole basket full of those multocored floppy disk shareware games Merry Christmas everyone

Oh my gosh! Thomas and Tim! Had a flashback to a moment in my childhood right now, that I had completely forgotten! Those games were so good!

Merry Christmas to you too. Thank you for your videos!

Well now you don't just a collection but literally a museum! Happy holidays man!

I was thinking the same thing! Bruce would weeze to death at that box

You got a free P70! Lucky man. I had to buy mine locally last year, but I still feel lucky to have found one at all. These were near $20,000 computers in 1989-91.

Before the Amstrad I mentioned earlier, I had the Color Computer 2 and that speech synthesizer! I also had the little 300 baud Direct Connect Modem Pak. That's the machine on which I started dialing BBSes. The modem did not dial itself. No, sir! You had flip the switch to originate, pick up the phone, dial the host yourself, and when you heard it answer, you manually engaged the modem by pushing a button on it, and then you hung up the phone and watched the characters appear in all its 300 baud glory! MAN I miss those days!

I remember that bubble jet laptop. I recall looking at it when I was searching for a laptop to take with me to Korea. I ended up getting a laptop and separate printer (also a bubble jet because it was the smallest printer you could buy at the time).

Awesome video as usual with opening box. Thanks Merry Christmas

17:16 WOW. So jealous you got that! I definitely share your fondness for demo discs. Best part of the magazine!

Clint, your community is amazing and I simply love these videos. Thanks for making it happen!

That After Dark shirt is glorious and I need one now.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! LGR gave us another awesome video on Christmas Day, what a guy!

Service Merchandise!! Loved that place in Lubbock and Midland Texas back in the 80s.

omg, i used to collect sylvanian families as a kid growing up in the 80s. proper bit of nostalgia right there.

Wow.. Thomas & Tim was a danish kids show from around the mid-nineties.. Remember watching it as a child!

Tomas and Tim is a danish franchise, awsome!!

Absolutely looking forward to the Gateway Handbook video!

I love this guy's voice!

Oh man, good luck with Nyet 3. It's BRUTAL. Also, the coco speech syntesizer should be an interesting Oddware video. I had one long ago, and I remember it being... surprisingly decent.

See, this is the thing kids from this era will never know, going to a brick and mortar store and buying boxed software and games. One of my favorite things from the 80's was going to babbage's and looking through all of the boxed software and games. You would buy a game or two and maybe on the ride home you and your friend would open the box and read the manuals and whatever. Didn't seem like that big a deal back then but now I remember it fondly. Now you just go to Steam or wherever and download the game.

Little Big Adventure... Holy moly, I have played that game and the sequel like, maybe 7 months ago because it's so enjoyable to play em! Very much worth playing... Twinsens Odyssey was called "Little big adventure 2" here, in the Netherlands. That game has bags of character!

A nice Christmas treat; Merry Christmas Clint!

MusicMatch came with *absolutely everything* for a few years.

Merry Christmas Clint! Merry Christmas LGR Fam!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to Clint and all LGR fans

Holy crap, Mission Humanity! Used to play that when i was a kid and i totally forgot about it. Glad someone else knows about it!

I work in the PCB field, and my god some of those gifts Clint gets remind me of all the pain i have to go through and yet give me some hope that there is some usefulness in what i do.

demo disks and and the first one you pull out (red n black) is one i got in my shelf xD loved the k-lite and pc-gamer demo-disks growing up.

You got a 550BJ... Thats up there with the 701C as a thinkpad holy grail among collectors. I am the pinnacle of envious right now.

Ooh, a Handbook! Those things are great - never had a good solid spot in my collection for one since i've already got a Gateway 4DX2-50v tower representing the 486 era and my Libretto 70CT is a bit too similar, though.

Tough Book... Those are great we have them at work. And that IBM is amazing if it has the black and white TFT screen. We had those where I worked in the 90's for sale that screen was amazing.

Never in my life did I expect to see a Spanish Windows 95 instructional video from Jennifer Aniston.

Thomas and Tim are a Danish cartoon series, broadcast by Danmarks Radio in the 1990s. The series is about two boys who, through their imagination, experience a lot of adventure they find themselves.

Merry Christmas! Looking forward to your videos in 2018!

X-Fools holds a special place in my heart, since I played it as a kid. It's mostly unoriginal and mildly amusing mini-games, but the parody X-Files intro movie was legitimately funny.

OMG Thomas and Tim!!! I remember watching that show as a child. It's from Denmark, cause DR stands for Denmarks Radio :D

Musicmatch! That just *flooded* me with memories.

Merry Christmas to you too! And there are a few laptops in here, that I look forward to hear about :D

Whhoooaa! IBM MM-1! I forgot about those. I now remember considering getting one when I converted my new PS/2 77s into an Ultimedia model. I never did run across one in the off-lease or used market.

Merry Christmas! For those who have nostalgia for Ye Olde Floppy, they're still available. In fact there are USB floppy drives, plug it in and Windows even recognizes it as the A: drive.

Din't expect to see Thomas & Tim on LGR, talk about blast from the past.

DUDE! THOMAS AND TIM! :D It's based on a shortlived Danish cartoon series of the same name from my childhood. Good stuff, my personal introduction to the point and click genre

i totally remember those MicroAdventure books , those things were awesome

Lovely video! I would really love to see a review, of the Thomas and Tim games. They were a big part of my childhood. I actually never knew, that they were available outside of Denmark.

If the 8-Bit Guy had a time machine to travel back in time he would probably revolutionise the C64 gaming industry because of all the modern knowledge and tricks we figured out through so many people doing C64 demos.

Merry Christmas LGR people

Dang.... The DIG novel! You definitely make me so jelly here... and cried a little inside. I remember searching for that novel so hard back in the day, like almost 2 decades ago, just curious after finishing the game itself, and never got a copy myself. Got several Indiana Jones novels instead at least. I guess congratulation is in order that you got lucky obtaining that. Guess I'm lucky in a way that I'm not too obsessed with it anymore, due to rl stuff & other interest. Hope you take real good care of it. :)

Bobbin Threadbare I’ve got a really good collection of Video Game novels...Alan Dean Foster did a LOT of game novelizations.

MusicMatch Jukebox was bundled with my Diamond Rio PMP300 mp3 player. Still got that little thing and it's parallel port interface cable in the deep storage vault.

Funny to see a few danish made games, sent to you from Australia. The Thomas and Tim ones. I remember watching the original cartoons in the 90's.

Wow, I remember collecting those game informer demo discs for the Xbox 360 avatar portraits, I think by the time I stopped subscribing to the magazine I had well over 300 or so icons. Looking back I don't actually know why I did that as I never really changed the icon I used.

Twinsen's Odyssey came out over here as Little big adventure 2, best game I ever played at the time, graphics were pretty cool!

Hey Clint big fan of your channel.Possibly my favorite channel due to the nostalgia rush i get when watching your videos!.I was wondering if you could perhaps do a video/tour on your modern build/setup, that you use for editing and running more modern games.I know it is not really your thing but id be interested to see your workstation and the sort of hardware you use as someone that loves classic tech.Keep up the good work!.BTW Dusk Episode 2 is out !!!

Awesome that you now have a toughbook and that Gateway laptop is cool.

That panasonic laptop you got is called a toughbook, it is used by Police and Military alike, very cool Clint!

I love the old laptop, so weird stuff, very cooool

I did appreciate real (packing) peanuts! BTW, happy holydays Clint.

Merry Christmas Bonzo! Have a great day

Yay! Another unboxing video!!!

i actually had bowlatronic back in the 90s. it broke in 2003. had fun with it as a kid.

Totaly awesome, al that stuff every time ! Wonder or you going to show some Sinclair Z80 stuff as you received such system some time ago, I now the stuff must be working and time isn´t a luxury with so much laying around speciale reviewing hardware takes a lot off it !!

Seeing all the cool stuff from Goodwill reminds me how barren the Goodwills in Las Vegas are. It's hard to find anything of note out here.

Retail Archaeology!!!!

It strikes me that a really good use of 3D printers would be to use them to print replacements for all those little plastic bits and bobs that break or go missing in older machines. It'd be really useful if you could get STL files of those parts.

The panasonic looks like one of the "Toughbook" line, ruggedized systems for military & law enforcement.

I remember seeing thomas and tim back in the day on danish tv, funny to see them all the way over at you, they useally was a filler episode in another kids tv show i owned on tape.

Gotta love the floppy disk with the word "nonsense" written on it.
