Hello and welcome to another episode of...
Stuff you have sent me!
It's not quite November.
I realise that I've just missed that, but I have been busy, as you'll notice, by my
new surroundings.
I've been moving a lot of stuff in to a new location, which I will do a proper video on,
as soon as I can!
But I want to start THIS video with this, because I know what this is.
I'm very excited about this because, this is from YOU-TUBE...
there we go.
You've probably seen these getting unboxed on Youtube before, but this is incredibly
exciting, for me.
I mean, when I started this channel, I didn't think it would get anywhere near where we
are now at all, you know, I started it because I love all the stuff I had.
I loved the retro equipment and I wanted to share it with people rather than having it
stuffed away in my room.
And for it to grow to where it is, you know, I've got you guys to thank for that completely...
and I think when I crossed about 50k subscribers, I started to realise that getting the "Silver
Play Button" might be a thing, so I aimed for that, and here it is.
You know, I still make these videos because I love what I do, but it's nice to just have
some sort of recognition.
"You've just done something that very few Youtube creators accomplish.
You've had an astonishing one hundred thousand people subscribe to your channel.
We know that numbers on Youtube can get REALLY BIG, but we hope you don't lose sight of the
reality behind the six digit milestone.
Each and every person who has subscribed to your channel has been touched by what you
created....
"HOPEFULLY"... they were inspired, challenged or entertained.
You achieved this milestone with hard work, perseverance and probably a healthy dose of
humour too.
What you've accomplished can't be taken away from you....
"Well, I've seen you ban channels before...
Come on"
... and we'd like to recognise you and all your hard work with this Silver Creator Award.
A small token of our esteem and respect...
"bit of a printing issue there.
I won't be too picky"...
We know that you don't do this for rewards.
You do it because you have a drive to create and share and because you've found an audience
who cares.
Believe us when we say we can't wait to see what you do next.
A million subscribers may seem a long way off now...
"Well, it IS, to be fair"...
But you're closer than you think, and we are rooting for you....
"Of course you are.
You make loads of money from adverts"...."
Anyway, inside, we have... woah, look at this.
Look at this.
It's quite a nice box actually.
All foam and nicely done.
There we go.
They've spelt it correctly.
There is the Silver Play Button, which I will place on the wall imminently...
And now let's get on to some stuff that you guys have sent me.
Also, thank you for allowing me to get this far!
It means a hell of a lot!
Let's go!
So box number 1, and first up we have a Compuserve CD on the top.
No matter how many of these I see.
I still love them, for the eye catching colours alone.
There's a little Competition Pro Joystick inside.
One of the better sticks in my opinion.
We've also got another CD, an Amiga 600 handbook.. which is handy, because I don't have one for
my 600.
We've also got a selection of 1990s magazines.
Here's Computer and Video Games from April 1982.
Software Choice number 2; this is a magazine WH Smiths gave away in the 80s.
Commodore Computing International February 1990 and Your Commodore February 1990.
I will certainly enjoy reading those.
Also there's some disk boxes, which will prove very handy later - as you'll see.
There's also a tea bag, which is handy as I love tea, and the sender is TG Pips... and
yes, that tea bag does indeed appear to be a triangular PG Tips bag.
Many thanks kind fellow.
We've also got numerous floppies which is good, because I love floppies and their contents.
Even the labels, check out that rainbow of colours on the top.
It's enough to make a man moist at the feet.
There's even the key for the boxes.
Nice.
OK, next up, is an international package containing a sealed copy of the DOS Operating System
Version 3.30.
SEALED!
Let me tell you, this won't be staying sealed for long.
That's from patron GaronNinja I believe.
So thank you very much.
Another box, another collection of bubble wrap.
But inside this bubble wrap we find some lust inducing game boxes.
Taz Mania for the Master System, a splendid title.
Buck Rogers Countdown to Doomsday for the Mega Drive, which I haven't played.
Lotus Turbo Challenge, in the Classic packaging, another splendid release.
Crue Ball, for the Mega Drive again, and then a couple of Macintosh games.
Sim City 2000.
I've just gotta open this up to see those floppy disks.
Ahhhhh yes, floppies and packing peanuts, my favourite.
Also, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
I'm gonna have to break out my Macintosh now.
Some more magazines in the bottom.
Sega Saturn from March 1997 and a 1984 copy of RUN for the C64 and Vic-20.
Awesome.
The note reads; Hi Peter, Here are the Macintosh games, hope you enjoy them!
I've thrown in a few other goodies too.
I'm really enjoying the channel.
Great stuff man.
Keep up the good work!
Cheers Kev.
Well no, thank you Kev.
It's greatly appreciated.
A box with silver tape is now upon us.
Inside this silver dream is a Russel Hobbs two slice toaster.
I'm off to toast.
No, but frivolities aside, inside is a bunch of Psion manuals... leading to a Psion 3,
which I love.
A case containing a Psion 3a, which I love a tiny bit more, and the mother; A Psion Revo,
which I drooled over for years.
Look at that tiny keyboard.
It's like a real keyboard, but tiny.
I fully intend to do a Psion video as soon as I get a chance.
These were sent from Yuki, or Yuki.
So thank you very much for that.
Another international package next.
It may look like a sturdy bundle of pure bubble wrap, and indeed, I thought it may have been
just that.
BUT, it's far better.
Because inside is, well, first there's a note from Josh Field in Marinlaw, but it reveals
that inside is a KCS Power PC board for an Amiga 500.
How cool is that?
I also love all the documentation here.
It tells a story of the hardware in a brilliantly 90s dot matrix dodgy font kinda way, and I
love it.
Thank you very much Josh.
OK, now here is a box.
It's a vast box.
So vast, that I'm gonna deal with it on the floor.
Now, I know this particular package is from a fine gentleman & indeed patron by the name
of Gary Pinkett, and although I could mention every title being extracted here.
I'd rather we all just sat back in awe and this Amiga fest of delight.
Gary is actually an Atari ST fan, so this is like the spawn of Satan to him, but to
me, it's a quarry of sheer delight.
Especially that bead art floppy coaster.
Some great titles here, such as Wing Commander.
The title that made me salivate for an Amiga on it's release, and look Noddy's Big Adventures.
What a cracking title.
Deluxe Paint 3, which is frankly awesome.
Lots of titles ripe for review here in fact.
Then under that, a whole heap of floppies.
I told you those storage boxes from earlier would come in useful.
In some ways it's a shame these have all lost their outer packaging.
But in other ways, they're floppy disks, and I love floppy disks, so it's all good.
And check out this Dizzy art, by Gary's own fine hand.
I shall find a suitable place for this to cherish.
The last package is from Black Screen Records.
I didn't even know they were sending me this.
But check it out, it's the Earth Worm Jim Vinyl soundtrack.
This is worth having for the artwork alone, but I do have a video lined up for a more
in depth look at some of this vinyl, and a rather dashing machine to play it on.
So stay tuned.
Anyway, that's it for November/December's unboxing.
If you send a package and I've missed it, apologies, I will get to it on the next episode.
I've just moved a load of gear out of storage so it's possible the odd smaller package is
still lurking in a box.
But anyway, thank you for watching and have a great evening!
