Grubb: 'It (1UP) was important to me'. I felt that, brother.

Bill Donohue is a legend, used to read every issue of Game Players and PSM. He now runs a bimonthly print and digital magazine called Old School Gamer.

God damn I miss the 90s

Genuinely fascinating video game archive stuff. Love when yall showcase these demos and magazines. Shout out to Descent, one of the very first video games I ever played on pc.

I fucking love demo derby

I CAN NOT WAIT FOR MORE OF THESE HOLY FRICK ⚔

Yes! Been wanting PC demo discs. There's some wild shit tucked away in them thar hills. Edit: The Palace (or at least a fanmade version) still exists to this day! It was an avatar-based chat that ran for a stupidly long time, and it was amazing in its heyday. So many fond memories of building a collection of hundreds of shitty nu-metal and goth avatars. Nowadays it's mostly people with massive anime avatars sitting silently in a corner 24/7.

Oh I remember the palace. Those were the days.

This is super cool, a unique perspective on gaming history at the time! Hope you guys got plenty more upcoming haha

I remember Bill from PSM. I still have a bunch of those magazines.

I could watch this stuff for hours

I love the omega compressed audio it's really doing something good in my brain.

Seth Macy shout out let's go ninfriendos

Finally, PC demos! Excited to see you guys get to the PC Gamer discs with the adventure game-esqe menus and the wonder of Coconut Monkey.

Man, that Hexen 2 demo made me want a modern day Hexen.

Just finished this and I didn't know how much fun PC demo discs could be. I hope this feature keeps going.

As someone who grew up in Austin, it is both jarring to hear Dan bring up the tower shooting and also to hear anyone not know any details about it. Even decades later, it cast a hell of shadow over the city.

That head, was Gooey Louie! I also had that dan!

This is AMAZING. So many memories!

Hold on. Hold up. Wait a minute. Didn't Ultra Game Players become PSM? Or did PSM split off of them? What years did UGP come with demo discs? I remember in 1998, they didn't come with demos. P.S. it was Chris Slate, was the editor in chief of PSM (and I assume UGP right before the transition. P.P.S. it's great to see Bill Donohue!

damn, seeing a disc with nintendo, sony, sega, microsoft, and apple games on it is kind of crazy now.

Omg The Palace....my nostalgia. I was in those trenches. Amazing

Gooey Louie is the name of the toy Dan was talking about. You pull snot out its nose.

thanks, it was bugging me. saw commercials for that shit on cartoon network, but never saw one irl

I had an uncle working at Sega in the late 90s. He gave my cousin a Saturn with every game made for it for Christmas. I was only like 6 so I got the Sega Pico and all the games made for that. I ended up getting the Saturn later but my parents sold it.

This series rules

Okay, so we've had Daikatana, Hexxen and Grubb's finished Masters of Doom. How long before one of these Demo Derbies is a bunch of id games from their Gamers Edge discs?

They have so many PC discs to go through. I hope they do some of the discs I have tried

"What is the meaning of the name Sigourney? The name Sigourney is primarily a gender-neutral name of French origin that means The Conqueror. actress Sigourney Weaver (originally Susan) took the stage name Sigourney from a character in The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald." It really is a cool name. It's not too late to change one of the kids names, Grubb.

Great stream! This is definitely my era of nostalgic bullshit lol, especially if you can find any UK edition PC Gamer disks, would love to see some of those again. Keep it up guys :)

Dan at around the 1h mark saying that when he saw Doom at his cousin's place thinking that it looked evil-bad, that he shouldn't play this... I didn't go to catholic school, but I was 11 years old and felt the same way back in 1993. It looked too realistic violent. It's like the devil seducing you with the biggest graphical leap to do something bad. ~3 years later, when I had my second PC brand new, my favorite game was Quake 1.

Duke Nukem was absolutely not "trying to find the wall's vagina", lol. It's what Dan says - he's just trying to find secret doors etc. 20:20

For Dan: I believe that thing was a Gooey Louie and you would like pull boogers out of his nose.

background and cameras - all on fire jan!

The Monty Python PC game had a keyboard replacement (?) soundboard thing that every key was a fart burp or one real nasty puke. 12 year olde loved it, also that game was weird as shit.

I’m sorry if they mentioned it, but what is Grubb using to “emulate/virtualize/simulate” Windows 98?

I own Enemy Zero, but it's not anything like Resident Evil. It's first person, and all the enemies are invisible. It looks like D because it's by Kenji Eno. It even stars the same digital actress from D, Laura Harris.

Enemy Zero is from the same team that did D.

Is Grubb using 86box?

1:02:18 Grubb nooooo!

Just a heads up… Bill Donohue is the kind of person who stopped drinking Budweiser because of Dylan Mulvaney. Might want to steer clear of including him in too much content until digging into who he is now 👍

Where did he say this? Because there is the Bill Donohue of the Catholic League who is a different person, and he definitely would say stuff like that.
