Brings back a memory of me downloading the demo of mortal Kombat 3 and tried to start a match. The game threw a divide overflow error and then I found out that the demo requires 16 megabytes of RAM and I only had 8 megabytes of RAM on my Packard bell back then

"Abort actual game" is a beautiful false friend that tells us that the developer is most likely from Germany. "aktuell" means "current" in German. :)

You know you're playing with shareware when you find a game that's unplayable because its performance is tied to your cpu clock speed.

Remember when we were kids and getting a EA game meant it was going to be GOOD?

Dongle Ware and Top Ware (maker of gold games collection) are both german brands. Top ware is gone. The "Gold Games" series was bought by Ubisoft and slowly got worse and worse until they scrapped it after "Gold Games 9" (due to upcoming online game distribution in the early 2000s) .

Tubular Worlds! For 20 or so years I wondered what that game was, I remembered it was a top down shooter with a lot of domes on the map, but the thing that really stuck was the creepy intro where we see the guy get the eye implant. As I've been able to remember and get my hands on every single game from my youth, that memory used to piss me off as it was one of the only ones I was never able to search for. That's until a month of so ago, when I found my old floppy case full of games, and found that title, instantly identifying it. So yeah, a pretty nostalgic game, and now that you posted it I kinda regret having found it, as this video would have blown my mind. Great video as always though.

The intro is _really_ cool, from the art to the creepy sound effects as the text comes in.

I was playing Tubular Worlds, the Mac Version, yesterday on my LCIII - which is nothing like as quick as a Pentium - and you’re right. It shouldn’t be that slow. It’s a great game when it’s running properly.

Glad you started this side channel man. I've been following you for like 10 years and this is one of my favorite videos from you in a long time. Just you sitting here playing the games. Also that PB monitor is nostalgic goodness on its own.

Tubular Worlds! I bought it when I was a kid from one of those shareware mall kiosks. It looks like it's running really slow on your system for some reason. It's supposed to run faster, even the music sounds slow on your system. I was running it on a 486SX 25mhz with 8 megs of RAM when I was a kid.

Body Blows provided literally minutes of fun back in the Amiga days! A weird knock off of street fighter 2 with simplified controls designed for a one button joystick, the best bit? Hold down the button to do the special moves! (Although, if I recall correctly you had to fill a special move bar up first.)

These blerbs remind me so much of classic LGR. I know that your channel has shifted much more to tech reviews, and I really miss the particular style of DOS game reviews that you had. Regardless, it's definitely worked out for you and I'm very happy for your success. Thanks for the videos clint, you've always made creative and fun content, and it's helped me out immeasurably in some of the most difficult times in my life. Can't wait to see what the future has in store for you :)

ahhhh, a blast from the past! I played all 4 of them back in the days.

good name for a 80s punk band "Silent uppercut"

That Tubular Worlds game looks pretty intriguing actually

I need to say, your videos are so relaxing. Sometimes I just let youtube playing your videos randomly in the background while I work or study because of the ASMR quality of your voice. And sometimes I get extremelly happy and exited with some oddware because where in the world would someone find such cool things and show us? Anyway, thank you so much

*"Shortly in the screen of your computer"* Needs to be LGR's new tagline :p

Obscure shareware! This is the content I subscribed for. Love this video.

Ahh I remember Tubular Worlds, that was pretty fun back then! Might even had the full version at a certain time in my life.

Relaxed MS-DOS gaming. Reminds me of the old "LGR on VHS" days. Perfect. :)

Those shareware packages bring back so many memories! We had tons of those back in the day.

Ah man unboxing and running weird ass shareware games on DOS was my entire childhood

This was fun. Please do more of these!

Amazing video - thanks for sharing your interest in these software relics :)

Your laugh is super contagious. I love seeing your Blerbs!!!!

Blerb is such a great, fun word. Exciting to speak. Blerb. It has this silly, informative yet comforting tone. Just like these videos! Thank you

My stepdad used to have a collection of old MS:DOS games that he'd let me play when I was around 6/7 years old (I'm 24 now) and I used to love Risky Woods, I also fondly remember Road Rash

Because of you I have begun to fill my room with old 90s PCs and it is definitely the most fiscally responsible choice I have made.

Daaamn, some of those tunes are just amazing!

17:45 OMG, I remember this game! I played it so much as a little kid and I remember being so fascinated by it. I never knew how it was called until now. Thank you! I'm so tempted to get it and play it again.

I was raised on "Body Blows". It's a great game, you should really try the full version. It was sold in the 90's as a big box game.

That Tubular Worlds intro looks dope as heck man great art there

I like the reflection off of the monitor. Gives it a sort of 'picture in a picture' effect.

When you went through the box I was convinced these were CDs! Totally makes sense when I actually thought about it

I love this kind of videos! More stuff like this!

Definitely a trooper for playing a fighting game with a keyboard!

The first game I thought was just trying to be dramatic till I saw how slow the gameplay was hahah. Great stuff.

3:48 That pattern in the background looks like a Voronoi tesselation, also known as Worley noise or cell noise. But Worley published his paper "A cellular texture basis function", which first suggested applying Voronoi patterns to computer graphics, only in 1996 - two years _after_ Tubular Worlds was released... 🤔

I have a huge collection of shareware games, they were a dollar back in day. The classic gravis gamepad works with most of these games combined with a early 90's soundblaster videocard.

I know you put a lot time and effort in your LGR videos and it shows, but I really like these more unscripted looks at odd things too! Also I'm amazed there's still DOS games out there you've never heard of

Love these blerbs, really relaxing!

Had most of these on the Amiga. Great times

I haven't seen Body Blows in 25 years. I remember playing the shareware version at a friends house. It wasn't that great and I didn't have a gaming PC at the time, so I forgot about it. Thanks for the nostalgia trip. Oh I should mention Clint we played it with a flight stick, so you can play with some peripherals.

Tubular Worlds, Epic Pinball, Halloween Harry, Sango Fighter, Risky Woods, Skyroads etc. - all those were my childhood when I was around... 9? Was so thankful for every new game I could play back then, even if it was shareware only. ^_^

A small funny fact about Risky Woods: Is the last game made by Dinamic Software (Spanish developer) before entering bankruptcy. Their successors (Dinamic Multimedia) were the same staff, and were also developers of good games in Spain (They did a soccer franchise, "PC Fútbol" that had the licenses of the Spanish, British, Argentine and Itatian leagues), and sadly, had the same demise as the former studio.

When I got my first pc around 98 I had a friend who subscribed to NextGen and GamePro magazines and he give the pile of Demo discs that came with them. I spent months going through them looking for good game demos. This video reminds me of that.

Tubular Worlds was great, I've played it a lot as a kid. Brutally difficult, even today (for me anyway). Awesome to finally see it make an appearance on LGR!

Holy crap! Team 17! There's a blast from the past!

Interesting how LGR Blerbs actually inherited the original spirit of LGR and the actual LGR channel evolved into something beyond that. Actually... I take that back, it's more like old LGR meets Druaga1.

Oh man, I remember out store getting loads of shareware titles back in the mid-90s...we sold them for a buck each (we were a department store, in Columbus OH we were called Schottenstein's after the founder, elsewhere we were called Value City) and these particular titles were on 3 1/2" and 5 1/4" floppies. I got a ton of them after I got a computer that could play them. Doom, Sango Fighter, Commander Keen, Bio Menace are the ones I remember from back then. Oh, yeah, I remembered Body Blows because GoG sells Ultimate Body Blows, which includes BB and it's Amiga-only sequel. I still have a number of the old DOS shareware collections, packed with just about everything they could cram onto 2 or 3 cd-roms :)

That's the maximum 2011 LGR kinda video, love it.

Shareware, how fascinating!! I enjoy how that used to work.

Digging those vintage Altec-Lansing speakers. I have the surround sound version in black of those same things, been using them on all my PCs since I think around 2000ish.

Good old shareware. It's what got me into computing in the first place.

EPIC MegaGames! wow what a throwback!

I'm glad that "allhumansmustdie" made you laugh at the same time I did. That and 'dongleware'. Heh heh, dongle.

GOG regularly has _Ultimate Body Blows_ on sale for under $2. That's where I learned about it.

Oh my god I haven't played Tubular World in YEARS. I instantly remembered that weird intro though.That took me RIGHT back.

I asked for more Body Blows in the first video and here it is. Very nice uppercut.

Your videos are my coffee.

My feet get warm when I watch these videos.

I remember my dad and I trying out those blue 5.25 inch shareware disks from the late 80's. Good times. I think maybe they came in a Tandy magazine or other magazine we got.

Body Blows was made for Amiga in mind and it's 1-button joysticks if memory serves me well. It was a great hit on Amiga. I played it with friends a lot.

Epic Pinball ! Hell yeah!!! That very demo you have there was the same Amiga shareware I had, that got me hooked on Digital Illusions pinball games (all pirated... Sweet Amiga user group in my neighborhood... Sooo).🤩 Memories man! This is why I watch you 😃. Also, 'slow' was more normal than I remembered. I played lemmings tribes (Amiga) on an emulator recently. Jogged memories of slow loads and disk swaps....🙄😆

tubular worlds! thanks for the shovelware memories

Shareware from Software Evolution.... AND A PRICE TAG FROM THE BAY!!!!!!! Holy nostalgia trip!

6:07 Does anyone else get weirdly nostalgic for the scratchy sound of MOD files being forced through a Sound Blaster? (Which is doubly funny since, at the time, I bought a GUS Max mostly to get rid of that scratchiness.)

I’ve always noticed that stereo sound seems way more wide at low sample rates. Like, without the upper octave, you just get a deeper sound field. I think I first noticed this when I uploaded some sample clips of MIDI tunes I was writing to my GeoCities page, and the 8bit 11kHz stereo samples just sounded so lush. Scratchy and lo-fi, but lush.

Oh wow, I played Risky Woods back when I was 5 or 6 at a friend's house. I've been trying to find it for years but never knew the name of it!

Love the cyberpunk artwork. The music is very Dune 2.

These were the biggest impulse buys of my life. I could not help but buy a lot of these no matter how bad they were. And I never had the full versions. What was really awesome was years later finding Starsiege, Decent II, and Incoming, and paying about $5 for all of them combined. How I missed those bargain bins. Paying $2.00 for a giant mech game Starsiege was a steal considering I paid over $50 for other giant mech games with no regrets.

Oh my God Risky Woods. I used to have a CD called the Encyclopedia of 1001 Games that had that game along with Dangerous Dave. Played those so much.

this is great! i just installed a soundblaster 16 (not a vibra!! finally!!) and was playing monkey island when i saw this video. thanks for more games to test out.

Risky Woods is actually a great game, it has some RPG components to level up diffrent weapons that is really cool, great level design and pretty decent graphics and sound.

Trueblood was running at full speed, the background is literally just 4 frames, so at full speed it looks incredibly fast. The reason for this is so the player doesn't realize it's just 4 frames.

body blows has some awesome music i remember just starting it up and listening to the music and most times never even playing the game

These were the freaking days👍

Omg, the musics great in all of the games.

Risky woods was one of the first games I got with my Amiga 500 back in the day, together with SWIV, Wings and Lotus Esprit turbo challenge.

OMG, i remeber playing Body Blows decades ago...wooooooah..i didn't remember what it was called...but those graphics, lf those 2, Double-Dragons looking duded...i remembered that!

More LGR?!? I just started following you on Twitter. Had no idea about this channel. Awesome!

I love body blows galactic on the ami, and being native to the ami, it's a one button fighter, which means you have to hold the attack button and a direction to perform a move. Hold it to charge the special move.

Man, back in the day I was always looking around on the few BBSs in my area that had shareware to download. I eventually graduated from shareware to warez...

When this video started I had this sudden flashback to a DOS text editor I used to use. I think it was called Qedit? Man, it's weird how memory works. I haven't thought about that in forever.

Clint, there was a time in the 1990s Indonesia that almost every office PC came preinstalled with DOS games, which often included Doom or Doom 2, Raptor, Domark's Formula 1, and... Body Blows. It took me hours to just figure out the controls to Body Blows while waiting for my dad to finish his project. Hours were wasted to do just that. I should've just played Doom 2.

I used to play Risky Woods on the Microforum's Enyclopedia of 1000 Games discs. He always reminded me of Liu Kang from Mortal Kombat.

I used to love playing Risky Woods on my Amiga.

Ah, the Risky Woods shareware demo. Forever scarred into my brain for constantly crashing my Packard Bell Win95 machine.
