LGR - Opening Stuff You Sent Me! October 2017

One invisible packing peanut, okay? All right, a bunch of older computer software, some really heavy stuff, too. And we have The Spy's Adventures in Europe and this is something that I really happen to have because there's some interesting history here as far as like legal trouble where Brøderbund actually kinda sorta ripped it off to make Carmen Sandiego. Like, there's a lot of debate there of course. This is the ball game, like trying to kazoo...I don't know what this is exactly, but I like the name. The Ball Game yet here WizardsLaw all those these men of warlords. And they're just like nothing in the back like this, just looks like a phenomenal amateur production could be really rare for all I know.

This one I have been looking out for for a while is this Chamber of the Side Mutant Priestess. Just a funky game, man, all sorts of weird stuff. From a draconian...Oh yeah, and then there's these which are I mean seriously probably five pounds absolutely. Packed with stuff, is that necessary? Like all that documentation, and then you get one disc, Co-Star Saga One and Star Sokka to...Just and this is just as heavy and packed full of documents. Thank you very much for all these.

And I am super curious about that one. And then again. This is gonna make for an interesting video, a large one, a very lightweight one from Matthew Oh. A giant box for this thing only is an anti-electronics series two digital audio processor. Of some kind. I'm not entirely sure what this does, but I will figure it out. Thank you very much. This is a card.

Another pretty big package, this one's much heavier. From Baxter. First things first, here is a Classic Gateway 2000 any key keyboard. It's programmable. It's got macros and cool stuff like that. And there's some accessories and software and things in here, get some tape drive dealios. And so I am tapes and disks, some handy likedrivers and gateway software...Always exciting.

There's a note in there just now, side and give you a shout out when I unbox this yes. I will. Here is the shout out to Baxter. Quartz. Thank you very much. Oh, yeah. What was the other main thing that he sent it's a Gateway 2000 486 DX2-66 in...this sort of horizontal form factor. I have some others that are the towers. I love the fact that it has a dual floppy drive and nice little CD tray here. Yeah, this is just really cool. I love these computers. I've been meaning to do a retrospective on them.

I was hoping to get one of the horizontal like desktop varieties and here it is. So thank you very much Baxter. Another big one here from Alexander. A note first to receive this TRS-80 computer in our store for recycling...Yeah, definitely better in my hands than being recycled. Nice tie hope so. Thank you very much.

How often, do you see that TRS-80 color computer model one still in its original box with apparently its original sticker for something right there. You an assortment of software. Not entirely sure what this is, duo sonic...Popcorn there's a classic that's cool to have oh, man. Those funky little TRS-80 cocoa joysticks, I've never actually had one of these before. That's awesome and the computer itself. Which is that's really cool. Love the colors. Thank you very much for sending this.

Oh, that's awesome. And last but not least we have one from Germany from Sven. Here's the Gus box. We talked about by email plus a little surprise hmm...High screen joystick, I don't know what that is, but that looks bizarre and this oh. I've been wanting one of these for a long time. Well the box anyway. I have a Gravis ultrasound. But it's pretty much the final piece of the puzzle. I was hoping to get before I cover the Gus in a video.

And I sent me the complete packaging is - the card, but I have a card so that is awesome...thank you very much, sir ah. Look at all the goodies. Thank you so much once again to everyone who has sent things and to those who have said things in other forms. Whether it be Patreon or just very kind messages. It's all appreciated and definitely helps keep this going in more ways than one. Although this may be the last video that I do like this for 2017, I'm not sure yet as I've said many times I am trying to cut back on so much stuff because I have a huge backlog, but again things are still piling in from previous months, and I just got an email last week like oh yeah.
