Aw man 😞 Rest in peace Mr Cheifet, host of Computer Chronicles: obits.goldsteinsfuneral.com/stewart-chei... What a legend. His work in both presenting and preserving the early days of computer history has been (and will continue to be) deeply appreciated! My condolences to his family and friends.

If you've curious how the effect was accomplished, you no longer have to wonder... youtu.be/JHqiiPGPHFY (Any help signal boosting this to #StarTrek fans would be most appreciated... this video was a lot of work!)

a proper Christmas retreat See y’all again in 2026!

Absolutely love this series, and holy cow that Julie doll is more advanced than toys of today.

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 🎉

Oh those 😄 youtu.be/YBDUHVXOfWg

A fun side effect of streaming LGR Birds each day is having LGR Deer

Still incredibly pissed at Future / Tom's Hardware for taking down the Anandtech front page archives. Being able to reference historical reviews and news articles is super important for tech history research and they've burned a library of Alexandria for... what, exactly?

It wouldn't be Christmas without the Crazy-for-Christmas Clint Clone Collective. XD

Time for some Christmas LGR! Looking at Pac-Guy Christmas Edition, a little game made with K&P/Multimedia Fusion in 1998 youtu.be/EXlqb3a4U4M More interesting is it became a commercially-sold title, especially risky at a time when Hasbro was going nuclear with legal threats against Pac-Man clones!

Duke Nukem Redux: sfjake.itch.io/duke-nukem-r...

video games, so silly

I just think it's fun that in 2025 you can still play brand new games for DOS itch.io/jam/dosember...

PC-Man (IBM PC, 1983) and The Spark Of Childhood Wonder cc @dosnostalgic.bsky.social #dos #dosgaming #intel #x86 #retro #retrogaming intotheverticalblank.com/2025/12/02/i...

A lovely retrospective on the 360, pretty much my favourite console of all time. I still have my slim edition but seeing the original white edition with its box, the green and orange baggies, etc. brings back a lot of good memories.

Celebrating the Xbox 360's 20th anniversary on LGR! youtu.be/hlnbsRz6E2Y Opening a boxed and unused Xbox 360! They released it two decades ago now, so this was the perfect time to unbox a 60GB Pro model, set it up, enjoy the Blades, and play some games. While HOPEFULLY avoiding red rings. Jump in!

Perusing the new eXoWin9x project! 660+ PC games from 1994-96 for Windows 9x, all set up and ready to play straight away using preconfigured versions of DOSBox-X, 86Box, and LaunchBox. youtu.be/FazeobVWdmM This went off the rails and unintentionally became the funniest video I've done in a while 😄

Voxel Duke Nukem 3D is out! www.moddb.com/mods/voxel-d...

Hey! It is out now for all to play! itch.io/jam/dosember... — please also check out the other DOStember Game Jam entries :)

Open sourced Zork today opensource.microsoft.com/blog/2025/11... and ran it on a swarm of containers in the cloud 😂

Reviewing the Analogue 3D on LGR! youtu.be/hgMAl0Rrhq4 A modern Nintendo 64 recreation in FPGA with upscaled 4K HDMI output, OG controller support + Bluetooth, and a claimed 100% compatibility with all commercial cartridges. Neat! And frustratingly unavailable.

Rebecca was one of the founders of Interplay and programmed & designed for some of the most influential games of my youth, notably Bard's Tale I & III and Wasteland. She will be missed.

Rebecca Heineman doesn't have much time left. If you can, please donate for her and her family to make end of life arrangements. One last kindness we can offer for a legend of the games industry and loud and proud trans woman: www.gofundme.com/f/help-rebec...

Unreal Tournament can now be played IN A BROWSER dos.zone/mp/?lobby=ut Along with other late 90s PC FPS classics but yeah. UT99 in a browser window... just fantastic. Thanks to the r/LGR subreddit for letting me know about it!

Jeez, it's been nearly two years since the last LGR weird mouse video. So here's another! youtu.be/YWpeCw_H0Zw Checking out an Oberhofer solid wood hard-carved wireless mouse, a watery mid-2000s Aqua Mouse, and a uh... Chrysler PT Cruiser from 2001 with tires on it. Yep.

I've just released the first version of my Skifree DOS port. #DOSember #DOSGaming All the features you know and love from Skifree windows are there. Just now in MS-DOS rocketfry.itch.io/skifree-dos-...

THE STEAM MACHINE CAN HAVE WOODGRAIN. THIS CHANGE'S EVERYTHING.

Work on the next LGR space begins! Looking forward to a much bigger and more open place to create in 2026. So ready to say goodbye to storage units after renting for ten years 😩

Are you ready for #PicoIDE? It seems to be telling me it's ready. Coming soon: ATAPI optical disc emulation and IDE hard drive emulation. picoide.com

It has been TWO YEARS since Cities Skylines 2 launched, somehow. Time to revisit it alongside its first expansion pack on LGR! youtu.be/SsRek_Q3Jfg Is the new Bridges & Ports DLC worth the $20 asking price, and has the base game experience improved much since 2023? Well, I have some thoughts...

New video up! Just finished the massive project of restoring/rebuilding @lgr-yt.bsky.social’s destroyed Chaplet Halikan LA-30A. This was a big one 😅. Enjoy! youtu.be/BilLgXkR_Kw

Still need more baseball? We found a CD in our archives containing dozens of unused voice lines from MLB Slugfest 20-03 rejected by the MLB. Here's some of our favorites.

The DVD (1996) is now as old as the original 8-inch floppy disk (1967) was when the DVD came out.

Hey, have a Halloween LGR thing 🎃 youtu.be/bevfaEbteGU Looking back at ScreenToyz! Mid 90s peripherals that plug into a keyboard port letting you control "interactive screensavers." The company raised $10 million, released this, failed spectacularly, and that's how you end up on LGR 30 years later

Humongous 68K Collection https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/humongous-68k-collection I have created a self-booting (System 7.5.5) image with most or all (?) of the 68K compatible games from Humongous Entertainment, complete with a Launcher. This should be a drop-in for any BlueSCSI #macgarden

Returning to VCF Midwest two years later on LGR! youtu.be/FTKnv4LoAjY And wow has it changed. It feels like an almost entirely different show! 66,000 square feet of vintage computers, retro hardware, software, and old school goodness of all kinds. Here's what the show was like (for me) in 2025!

‘Extreme Paintbrawl’ released on this day in 1998. Marketed as "The First Non-Violent 3D Shooter." Reportedly developed in just two weeks time, and leveraging a half-finished version of the Build engine that functions exclusively within MS-DOS running on Windows 95.

LGR IS REVIEWING RARE MONITORS

Back in my home and back to LGR! And we gotta kick it off with copious woodgrain: youtu.be/RTE7_gqnSLk Taking a look at the Mitsubishi Oberhofer Edition monitor, a 15-inch LCD from 1999 encased in a glossy walnut burl intended to fit in with fancy 90s executive decor. And originally costing $1800!

New LGR travel vlog! youtu.be/yIwXQicYClw This is the Knobcon and Vintage Computer Festival Midwest experience! At least as it was for me in 2025. Driving from NC to Illinois, enjoying Chicago, lots of wandering the events themselves, having great food, hanging with YouTubery friends and much more!

I’ve started a GoFundMe to help with my cancer battle gofund.me/6850175a3

I've been bedridden for the last 10 months, unable to work as I try to get a surgeon and insurance lined up for my operation to let me work again. If you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help. Time isn't on my side here, and waiting is very expensive. ko-fi.com/fooneturing

can't even riff on this, it's so abundantly clear that EA leadership suckered their way into a massive pay day and everyone below them is poised to take the fall fucked, absolutely fucked

Much appreciation to those who’ve checked in on me regarding the big storms that appear to be headed to NC. Even if things get a bit hairy (and there is a chance) I’m *far* better prepared this time around. Cut down and trimmed all the riskiest trees, got lots of supplies. Just a waiting game now.

Did not expect "Saudi Arabia buys EA" today but here we are
