Another LGR Christmas thing! Watching/reacting/researching stuff in the Computer Chronicles Christmas Buyer's Guide from 1987 youtu.be/bWXLDfbmpU8 And that's it for both holiday videos and LGR overall in 2025. Have a happy new year and I look forward to getting back to more LGR things in January 🎉

Freshly scanned & archived! ✨ Here's a scan of my manual for the Z64 Mr. Backup device for the Nintendo 64 that used Zip disks to backup games/saves! 💾 I'll be playing around with this in a video at some point. This manual differed from the one I found online. 😮 archive.org/details/z64-... #N64

Mmm more Macintosh floppies to archive! 💾

Heads up! 📦 If you used ShipStation as part of PayPal for packages/labels you may now have some subscription charge! I had to call PayPal to figure this out as I have zero emails from ShipStation or any invoice regarding such a service. I don't even have a ShipStation account! What a scam! 👎

Another great person, Burger Becky, has passed away from the vintage computing community. We were privileged to have her speak at VCF East and VCF West to tell her stories. Her stories will be preserved for posterity. She will be greatly missed! www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

I am very thankful to have met Becky at VCF East and to have chatted with her about her winning the Atari Space Invaders championship. Such an amazing person and a gaming industry legend. Sleep well Becky.

My trailblazing game industry bad-ass friend Rebecca Heineman has passed away. Fuck cancer. Friends, let’s not forget her: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca...

RIP @burgerbecky.bsky.social Rebecca Heineman and thanks for all the wonderful games 😢

In hearing of the passing of Rebecca Heineman, I thought it would be worth sharing this wonderful interview she did on @retronauts.bsky.social: retronauts.com/article/1167...

I put together an electronics kit + book intended as a gentle introduction to transistors and early computer logic gates (resistor-transistor logic or RTL). I set up a Tindie store page for the little over a dozen I have readied. (I'll create a web site soon.) www.tindie.com/products/jca...

Please consider helping Becky cover final expenses. She's done so much for our community... www.gofundme.com/f/help-rebec...
