media:description>Unboxing and setting up this 80s retro oddity on LGR! The Intermatrix Mac Phone is an early peripheral for the original Apple Mac computer from 1984. For $200 back then you got a telephone to stick on the side of your system, a dialer program... and that's about it! It's become a rather rare collectible, so let's install and test this one 40 years later.

media:description>I've covered many weird old computer mice before, but keyboards? We've barely scratched the surface! So let's take a look at ΜΆtΜΆhΜΆrΜΆeΜΆeΜΆ TWO strange PC keyboards from the mid 1990s this time on LGR. The Future split ergonomic board from Acer and the PaperPort Scanner Keyboard by Compatibles by Compaq.

media:description>It's been ages since I first covered this so it's high time for a revisit! Streets of SimCity was a flawed jankfest of a game, yet I've always had a fondness for it. Exploring your SimCity 2000 cities in 3D was fantastic in 1997 and even with all the bugs and crashing I played it a ton. So let's revisit it decades later, now with the excellent SimStreetsX patch!

media:description>Checking out the odd Mouse Yoke from 1992! Colorado Spectrum sold several flight simulator adjacent devices in the 90s but this is the weird one of the bunch. Clamp the base to a desk, strap in a computer mouse, slide in the shaft, and enjoy a realistic aircraft yoke! Possibly, in theory, sort of! A bizarre thing that is prime LGR Oddware indeed.

media:description>Revisiting this CS-630 from the year 2000! The Intel Pocket PC Camera is a glorified webcam with batteries when it comes down to it. But that simplicity made it an ideal introduction into shooting digital for 14-year-old me back in the day! So join me as I unbox a new one and revisit this toylike camera for the first time over two decades.

media:description>I've made a huge mistake and ignored the first rule of vintage computing: NEVER buy an old inkjet printer, especially a 90s Canon. Yet here we are with a BJC-2000 color printer from 1999... in an ideal world this was gonna be a fun romp into Windows 95 Bubble Jet printing, plus a test of the IS-22 scanner cartridge. In reality though, everything about this thing sucks and is awful and that should surprise no one. Least of all me, but whatcha gonna do π€·ββοΈ

media:description>Revisiting UT2004 two decades later! This sequel to UT99 (er, UT2003?) from Epic Games and Digital Extremes was a staple of PC gaming in the 2000s, with the bombastic Onslaught mode being added to the classics of deathmatch, capture the flag, and so on. So let's review this classic FPS and dive into its predecessor, its gameplay, multiplayer, mods and more!

media:description>I got this nifty Gateway 2000 desktop from the 90s and don't know much about it! Except that it cost $2,649 when it was new. So let's dive into the G6-233M with its Pentium II MMX 233MHz and see what else is inside, what's broken or missing, and what needs repair and cleaning and such.

media:description>Taking a retrospective look at the Toshiba Libretto W100, an innovative dual 7-inch touchscreen UMPC from 2010! The final machine in the fabled Libretto line and the first consumer notebook with twin touch LCDs. A rare, fascinating, cutting edge Windows 7 system when new, and still an uncommon way of doing things today.

media:description>The reviews must flow! And the spicy subject here is the first computer game adaptation of Dune, made by Cryo Interactive and Virgin Games in 1992. Take control of Arrakis as Paul Muad'Dib Atreides, reclaiming spice mines from the evil Harkonnens and forming a Fremen army to dominate the planet! Early 90s MS-DOS game goodness.

media:description>Checking out the odd Titans Sphere by SGRL from 1998! Intended as the ultimate controller for 3D games in the late 90s, the Sphere was a failure on practically every level. "Throw away your joystick?" Ehh not so fast, let's set up this bit of LGR Oddware and see it in action first.

media:description>For some reason I bought this cheap OptiPlex from 2004. So let's take a look at it! From my view, it's easily one of the most undesirable computer systems ever. Boring looks, basic business hardware, bad airflow, and suffering from capacitor plague. Does it even still work? Let's find out!

media:description>Celebrating the 25th anniversary of SimCity 3000! The third game in the classic Maxis city builder series had a false start in 3D form, but after EA took over and development restarted, the final 1999 game ended up being my favorite in the franchise. So let's revisit the Windows PC original, SC3K Unlimited, and the gameplay experience decades later in this LGR retrospective review!

The Intermatrix Mac Phone is an early peripheral for the original Apple Mac computer from 1984. For $200 back then you got a telephone to stick on the side of your system, a dialer program... and that's about it! It's become a rather rare collectible, so let's install and test this one 40 years later.

Colorado Spectrum sold several flight simulator adjacent devices in the 90s but this is the weird one of the bunch. Clamp the base to a desk, strap in a computer mouse, slide in the shaft, and enjoy a realistic aircraft yoke! Possibly, in theory, sort of! A bizarre thing that is prime LGR Oddware indeed.

Yet here we are with a BJC-2000 color printer from 1999... in an ideal world this was gonna be a fun romp into Windows 95 Bubble Jet printing, plus a test of the IS-22 scanner cartridge. In reality though, everything about this thing sucks and is awful and that should surprise no one. Least of all me, but whatcha gonna do 🤷♂️

30:: 90s CompUSA Ads: Maximum Computery Nostalgia
01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 08.09.2023 · 14:00:28 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· Relaxing with Comp USA newspaper insert catalogs from the late 90s! These flyers always made Sundays a bit better back in the day, and somehow they're even more enjoyable decades later. I have a bunch of them, but this time we're specifically looking at one from February of 1999. When the colorful iMac G3 was new and 300MHz Toshiba laptops cost $2,800!

31:: Upgrading the Pentium III Bear PC with a more bearable GPU
01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 01.09.2023 · 14:15:03 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· Graphics performance on the LGR Bear-A-Byte computer was unbearable, it really needed a GPU upgrade. Or a GPU at all for that matter! So say goodbye to the integrated SIS chipset and hello to the Diamond Stealth III S540 video card from 1999. It's still a 500MHz Windows Me system but this has to be an improvement, right?

32:: This 1999 Digital Camera Uses Tiny Clik Disks! Agfa CL30
01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 26.08.2023 · 13:00:17 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· Checking out the world's first (and only) digital camera using Iomega Clik disks for storage! Each disk held 40MB and cost just $10, a tenth the price of CompactFlash. Quite impressive in 1999! But this odd diversion in the late 90s digicam market was short lived, and its impact on digital photography is... well, no one remembers it. But it sure was neat!

Effectively an Apple 2 computer on an 8-bit ISA card, bringing near perfect compatibility to DOS PCs by slapping a whole computer inside of another computer.

Every one of the Antec 1200 case's 5.25" drive bays are filled with weird 2000s devices, all it needed was... everything else, ha.

01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 16.06.2023 · 14:15:00 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· An LGR review of the Book 8088 and Hand 386, newly-made retro computers on Aliexpress! No emulation here, these are DOS PCs running an 8088 and 386SX processor, using legacy chips on custom PCBs melded with open source projects, off-the-shelf components, and injection molded enclosures. They sure are neat! But lots of compromises, drawbacks, and odd design decisions.

41:: Orpheus II: The Best Retro PC Sound Card in 2023? Perhaps!
01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 09.06.2023 · 14:15:04 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· From PCMIDI.EU comes the Orpheus 2 – a new 16-bit ISA sound card! Could this be the best one for vintage computers right now? An argument can be made for that I think. On-board Gravis Ultrasound PnP compatibility, plus all the Orpheus 1 features like Sound Blaster Pro compatibility, Yamaha OPL3, and an intelligent mode MPU-401. As far as modern replica sound cards go, this thing is a step above the rest at the moment!

Or something like that, probably. It also has an analog VU meter and just looks neat, and arguably its aesthetic is more impactful than how it sounds! Making this valve device some prime LGR Oddware indeed.
