Greetings and welcome to an LGR unboxing thing
It kind of feels like I just did one of these but it turns out the last time was back in July
Yeah time is simply flying by and it bothers me
But at least I've had a bunch of neat stuff show up over the past several months
So let's go through each one of them and admire the fruits of your generosity
First one here comes from Kate and Tony in Canada
Multiple pieces of candies another we got some Smarties Kit Kats a little bit different than the ones I
Have here in the US they look to be rounded and candy coated greetings from Canada's capital. Whoo
Apparently this thing was actually made in Belleville, Ontario
And all the patents have expired so I don't want to make one of these myself
Maybe I could yeah, this just looked absolutely silly
Maybe a picture of it. I'm like, yes, please send this my way. I mean look at it
you clip a keyboard like a giant model m to the top of your
IBM and the Doge that appears to be an IBM ps/2
Model 25. I mean, it's just a couple pieces of plastic I guess, but I thank you very much that one here from Thomas
As promised here's the IBM mousepad
Ooh neat this riff on the logo is famous in the world of logo design made by Paul Rand. Oh, man
That is an absolute classic
Open that up right now. Yeah, I've got a mug with this design on it. I've seen t-shirts pins, you know booklets everything
IBM it's just a I don't know kind of straightforward silly design, but it's also just a classic. So thank you very much
Okay got one here from Tom. I
didn't see any notes, but
This thing is wrapped up. Rather nicely. Oh, yeah
Not quite the normal piece of computing history that I received
But yeah, this is an original piece from the outside of the mosque technology building Mouse technology
Of course. We're the ones responsible for
Especially the chipsets used in Commodores machines for a long long time and you know a whole bunch of other stuff CPUs and whatnot
But then we offered this. I'm like, that's so strange. I can't say no. So thank you very much tom put that right there
No, it's not gonna fall if it did. It's like three inches onto the table. Okay now when hear from William
Okay
Cassette tapes and a bunch of stuff. Hey Clint. I took a few tries to get that
Looking safer work. Yeah, you know sometimes the L in the eye. Oh, yeah, okay
So some different music releases and floppy discs and whatnot. No, I'm not censoring that at all
That is what the title is can't change that. Yeah, I am a VSnares fan
So sounded awesome to me included some other things, too
Unfortunately, it seems he's got a little bit cracked apart during shipment or maybe this just supposed to look like that it kind of fits
The aesthetic but yeah, so these are you know, I've collected a bunch of albums on floppy disk albums
Usually it's just different tracks whether they be MIDI files or I have one that's like just ad-lib music
And then sometimes people try to get like actual mp3s compressed music and put on floppy disks
And of course, these aren't disks at all. These are
Cassettes and so I don't know independent weird releases just things of any kind that are musical and odd. I am all for
There's a machines users guide. Oh, yeah, this is for the e one that's great. Absolutely. Great. I've already covered this but
This man and I see one of these in a while when these tiny little shaped many CDs
I've actually never seen one on a burned CD. Well, thank you very much William. This stuff is great
Okay got one here from Jason in Australia
Here's the retail shareware version Oh Duke took them to I promised ah, yes some shameless plugs
I've seen this show up on eBay and well being that it's an australian
release I kind of thought I'd maybe never get one but
Look at that artwork
Shareware games from all sorts of companies were released by these different vendors
this one in particular seems to be red dragon AB by Aptos software, Burbank, California
So I guess this one isn't from Australia at all
Well, anyway, apparently it made it to Australia
And here it is in my hands. I don't know they always did custom artwork all sorts of companies like this did neat art
So thank you very much. This is a cool addition to the collection. Okay got one here from
Nathan some nice LG artwork right there
Works with a mainframe and as a result of good few of his co-workers have been in the business for a long time
Saw these pins up for grabs at work. They sent me a photo of just a ton of different
technology
Computing related pins. I don't ever wear pins or pin them on anything but I like them
So anyway, we got a couple IBM related ones. They're actually most of these the IBM ones I wanted to take it from them
AIX is a three-letter word. I like this one though. IBM can beat your Wang
I don't imagine that was actually IBM that released that but there was this sort of especially with terminal IBM versus Wang
Going on at the time. That's mr. Nerd to you. That's just silly and then here we got another IBM one
So the IBM report management and distribution system if you print store and protect well, thank you very much Nate
These are delightful, you know, and here's not from a person but from a company retro patents
And you may remember actually did a video on some of their products a while back
So what they do, I mean it's in the name they make retro patents. But yeah, check this out. They've got this new
Process and it can also do sort of a negative image like on black
Instead of white and black it's like black and white, you know, whatever. Anyway, this looks awesome
So thank you very much guys for sending me one of your new products
Got one here from Russ
It's an interesting business card you prop chop
shop
If you need me Halloween stuff, I make props
What what man even your packages are scary?
anyway
Okay, I've seen some of these kind of thing for CD Ronix
What is this? I don't know. Enjoy stick of some kind. Alright. Yeah, so here is the
Main thing that he was sending my way. This is a
PC version of the vide video digitizer
computerize with some documentation software and of course the all-important card itself and these you can actually
Hook up video to this and then capture it - you were an IBM pc-compatible, which is awesome
This was something I briefly mentioned when I talked about the Canon RC 250 still video cameras, you know
They weren't digital cameras yet
But they you could take the still imagery and get it into a digital format with a system like this
So I look forward to trying this out
Thank you very much for the unusual items. And then what is this even almost seems like a demon gun?
kind of
Thing maybe it is. Okay got one here from the packing pros
I'm assuming that's not who it's actually from and just the shipping service
Yeah, I remember the email about these but I don't remember who actually sent them
I'll put that at the bottom of the screen here. Thank you to you
Yeah, I've got a couple of pentium two's here
He's a 400 megahertz really I end for this generation of Pentium
So yeah one is still sealed, which is pretty neat. I
Definitely want to use this as some kind of build
I don't know what pretty much not gonna say no to old CPUs in box. So thank you now. I'm here from Louie. Oh
It's always a special moment
Getting nicely wrapped PC game big boxes, and these were a few I didn't own and these are in great shape
Actually, it was brand new and a you know, still sealed condition Atlantis the lost Empire the lost games
I like these little collections from Disney back then
Yeah, here we go
Another sealed one incredible machine - been wanting this for a while
I have like an incredible machine even more incredible machine incredible machine free
But did not have the second one. This one's a little beat up, but you know, whatever and get that back into shape
This is the original I spy
Cd-rom game and might remember the books while there were a lot of cd-rom games to go along with them
And yeah, it's pretty much just hidden object stuff with a few extra interactive elements in there
Thank you very much for sending these my way
Okay, quite a large one here. I didn't see a name on the front
whoa
This is really cool because this one is actually signed by chris roberts right there
must i've got this neat little CD -
They sent me this after you know, I did my gravis ultrasound video as is the ultrasound experience a demonstration of advanced gravis
We eat evil synthesis soundcards a cd-rom very cool to have
And now the rest of this is wing commander stuff
I have reviewed this but look at all cool things and it's signed by chris Roberts. Anna came with a friggin hat like dude
Thank you very much for this stuff. I am getting larger and this one is from someone you might know if you watch
YouTube and the tech community this is from Matt
In the UK better known as tech, Mon
So yeah, I sent him something
He sent me something and yeah, you know just tradin cool stuff
So I included a mini disc recorder an unusual model
Apparently I did not have one at all and in any kind of mini disc recorder that works
So he sent me this this is darn fascinating a looking unit. I mean is this not the most tech mode thing you've ever seen?
whoa
that is
Just wonderful
Okay, so that's how you open that
and it looks like
The whole thing kind of comes out too and I will need power to do that. That's just what a wonderful device
I mean, seriously, it reminds me of like those PS ones and like an answering machine
So anyway, thank you very much. Matt and go watch tech Mon if you don't already it's a great channel. Ok
Go in here from Emmett. Oh
Yes, this is an IBM personal system to speech adapter
I was just looking up this because I have a related item that I plan to cover actually a couple of them
but then I saw that these existed too and I was about to get one on eBay and then all of a sudden out of
Nowhere and got this email
Saying oh crap. Well, that's
Well that foam is not a good shape Wow
Feels like old like 8-track foam. All right, well, whatever put that back together and clean it up
anyway
As I was saying got an email
Like just as I was about to give one of on eBay and he said oh look I've got one in Bucks
I'm like, yeah, I'll take it because it's really like new old stock for the most part. It's been hoping of course
It's obviously falling apart inside because of that nasty foam, but I can replace that hopefully and thank you very much
This is really cool. Got one here from bite delight in the Netherlands
Can't quite get it all in frame there eat sleep
spectrum repeat ah
Yes
So this right here?
well 3d printed shell a
lot of projects are coming in 3d printed shells nowadays many ways these EDX HD and
This right here plugs into the back of a Sinclair spectrum of you know, various models and provides HDMI output
Which is fantastic
because I've struggled with getting
Good out click over here with you know, ntsc and like these things had, you know, just RF output
Going to a weird channel and I was in Powell just a pain
And then so yeah, this thing is awesome
Hopefully it seems like it might be a great solution and then he also sent this as this as well
This is the dip MMC pro 1 which is just fantastic. Not only provides some joystick ports right there
I'm assuming Kempston maybe oh, it does all the main things at Kemps didn't Sinclair
cursor joystick fuller joystick
anyway
As well as having kind of a hard disk of sorts. That's just something I've never messed with with a spectrum
So this I think will jumpstart my interest in the system again just in terms of ease of use
So thanks a ton for sending these my way byte delight check them out
Alright got one here from Jeremy
Got a remote control
so this right here is a kodak photo CD a portable photo player kind of like a
You know CD player that plays photos. I actually have a few kinds of devices along these lines at this point
So maybe maybe a videos in order? I really don't know but either way. Thank you very much for sending this bizarre thing
My way I like it
This one from chasin
Apparently my channels have to mount through some bad times and didn't want to go too much into it, but no problem
I'm very glad to hear that and thank you very much for the games. Oh, yeah, Nia has a puppets channel pop culture puppets
Yeah, giant box for this essay. That was a very well packaged
action made raid on Island X I
Don't even know what this is family was a fox kids TV show or something
I'd never heard of it, but it was sealed and it I just had never heard of itself
Here's one I had heard of but I've never played Excalibur
2555 ad this is a Sur Tech game from the late 90s mid 90s. It uses 3d effects
So of course, I'm interested right off the bat simply due to the early 3d acceleration thing going on here. Yeah
1997 3dfx game it just it kind of looks like crap so I can't wait to try it out
It seems like I did try it out at one point on something like a demo of it
Mmm, yeah. In fact, I'm pretty darn sure I did cuz that looks familiar
But I forgot what video that was. Anyway, thank you so much for sending these. Alright got another one here from a Jeremy
Alright thanks, really awesome reviews. You're very welcome. Woo nonsensical nonsense. I appreciate the redundant redundancy
This is something that's actually meant to pick this up a while back
But I never did retro gamer book of arcade classics. I had a bunch of these actually for various other
Yeah compilations for systems and computers and games and such but didn't have this one. I love the retro gamer things got a brand new
trs-80
Computer cassette recorder here. Well, I don't know if it's brand new, but it's in a box
One of these things I
think I used to have wandered or maybe I still do I don't remember but I've
Come across these every so often the extreme 3d system
Mm-hmm images appear to be floating inside and in front of the screen a couple of random games in here at school
tycoon Madagascar 2 for the PlayStation 2
One is this we got a Edison bulb?
That's cool. Wow
It would be theirs. There's nothing in there an empty Edison bulb
Box, I don't know if that's an oversight or not. I don't know
Well, thanks for the box. And thanks for the other cool things that are actually here and not invisible
Okay, go in here from Danny in Holland
Here's the staff. We emailed about and some extra enjoy. Say hi to Leon for me. He'll get it. Hi Leon Oh my
Dutch candies. Wow, this is just a
Box our randomness all these foods something intense pure chocolate something
Backers speculaas. I don't know what this is. It's like perfume or something
Nope it's I don't know what what what is it this product is using the German military technology
What what it takes a SIM card? Oh, it's kind of voice selector switch a data port flashlight and pick up holes
I'm sure I'll look it up after this find out. Okay. So yeah, the rest of this is just a whole bunch of randomness
I think the only thing that we actually agreed on
Sending was this opinion for here in the box because I don't run across these in the box too much. This is the
653 point 4 gigahertz version so that's handy for something at some point
I don't know man, again like processors in the box. I can't really say no to them. Thank you. I will use
What I can
Boxers are getting much bigger here. This one is from Kevin
This is an interesting thing, but always kind of curious about these
This right here is an Apple II mate
300
It's based on the Apple Newton apparently found this at Goodwill for 20 bucks was pretty good deal complete in box
These are mostly used by students and classes and schools around the u.s. Maybe elsewhere
I don't really know but I've definitely heard about these for a long time and always found them kind of odd
Apparently this came from West world computers. Oh, but doesn't like come to life and kill me
Yeah, it doesn't look like anything to me though
So yeah, he made 300 and it's one of those odd footnotes in Apple history. Unjust computing history in general. Really?
Yeah, look at that thing. Like what a cool
Weird 90s design. Oh
Hey, there's a message in here. I
Can't think of a more fitting thing to write a message on than a random dasgame. Well, thanks for watching
Thanks for the email thing for the note. Thank you. Kevin good stuff. Yeah move the camera stuff is getting too large
Still doesn't quite fit in the frame anyways one is from Ryan
This is a first did you cut up a crossing guard and stuff him in the box?
Better than packing peanuts. So here's what we got
An Oberon International Omni reader the revolution in taking words from page to computer
It kind of looks like, you know kind of an optical character recognition
thing
from
Way back in the day oh and then when was this even made I don't know there's no date on it curiosity
Wow Wow
Doesn't even look used
Well, this is a receipt from 1992 but it looks like it was only 25 bucks at that point. So
Era when it was originally released
When was it made? That's all I want to find out here. There's seriously no dates on here at all. Oh
Oh
1984 there we go. 1984 that's about right. I was thinking early 80s
But yeah, it does say actually optical character reader right there. So this is an early OCR
Option from the 80s. I didn't know that it went that far back. Thank you very much. This is this is unique
Okay
another large one
from Chris and Karen
There's a lot of stuff put on here and a random survey kids preferred
Videos by LG are more than cake toys and even summer vacation to Disney. Somebody had a lot of fun with this box
Look at all this stuff
And not actually terribly large items just a lot of them so there's a Microsoft easy ball
That's something I've been meaning to cover for a while
I have another one of these but I don't think the boxes in his nice shape. Is that one?
I'm gonna zip rack here for I am Megas if disks, AOL
plus high-speed DSL modem kit
Whoa laser copy mate 1/8 big guy did a video on these looks like it's got batteries because it's already turning on, you know
If you're run DMC family, I hope you don't dig this. Anyway, who's not a Run DMC fan
I
Love that run CMD or her
That's great. It might be my favorite thing so far. Ok, I guess a box software here. Awesome animated monster maker
I've never heard of that but I like the concept. Yeah dogs for your virtual pets as pals
Yeah covered the first pets games
But not this one. No, no. No, I didn't have this one at all. Good stuff. Ooh
Virtual Springfield, that's cool have always want to mess with that
Last minified, oh my word dance party of the century actually recently. Just got this in box as well
So that's gonna have to be covered at some point
Couldn't pass up a chunky calculator faux wood green and Gators can't finish case. That is actually a very classy design
I like that still has a battery that works
that is wonderful sharp al
8024. Yeah, but too random software extra crap. Yes indeed our meme into
The photocopy version of starboard wood Robo. What the heck is this? Ok, that's not legitimate, sir. I
Appreciate the effort though. Somebody went to to actually try to make that
Cover I'm like a copy machine
Ok. Well, it's a manual for computer. I don't have but hopefully I'll have one of these one day
I was just like Atari products. Anyway a
Couple of cassette tapes still sealed. There are type ones 60-minute some sort of futuristic outer space packing material
Again, better than packing peanuts. Wow, that is quite
the keyboard
Actually not the worst feeling thing in the world my PC
Targeted technology solutions LLC's 2008 Wow. They were deny thought it was
And the last package within the package from them Ford Racing 2 and ps2
Cool borders 3 or at least part of it actually. No, that's just a really weird slimline case not for resale
It's a demo disc freestyle something or other just freestyle
Won't it take you and fer to do let's play at this
Seeing Star legends, it would take a lot of alcohol. That's what it would take. Thanks a ton for the ton of stuff
especially that, you know, I'm getting this stuff over here the last thing
Comes in to really large boxes. They're actually kind of too big to put on the table. So I'm not gonna do it
I'll just unbox it and put it up here as I do suffice to say though
This comes from Nikolas and Wisconsin. Oh, oh, you can have to trust me. This is this is the coolest
This my friends is a new
It's in the box
Epson apex
100 personal computer IBM pc/xt compatible
Yeah, Epson made computers. And this was one of their kind of later ones actually
Yeah, I mean they guy started a whole lot earlier than this but the whole system is in this box, but there's another box
Yeah
we've got the matching monitor in its box as well and
Once again, it looks new that absolutely looks untouched
Which is why I said yes to this because it was one of those things that you know, pretty much new old stock
I'm going to make room for it. I had to get rid of some stuff to make that room
But nonetheless here we are and I can't wait to cover this because I don't know. It's just awesome
Like brand-new old computers or as close as we can get to it at this point. Thank you so much, Nikolas
This is this is just the coolest what a great find very generous
You have my utmost appreciation and there we go
Another pile of goodies from you wonder folks around the world as always
I apologize that I have to turn down the vast majority of offers
But I'm getting a couple dozen donation offers a week at this point
But I thank you tremendously regardless having your support makes me feel like I'm doing something right. I'll be honest
I've had a lot of self-doubt and questions about what exactly I'm doing with LGR lately
I'm never sure if what I'm putting out
There is the best or even Who I am anymore sometimes I don't know
But I do know that y'all helped me keep my head on straight
So you have my gratitude and as always thank you very much for watching and for all the support. This is awesome
