LGRwich No. 25

Was going through some LGR Foods videos and I'd forgotten about this use-whatever-you-got-left sandwich from when the pandemic was in full swing. I don't know if I'd ever try doing it with provolone but it's a good use of ingredients.

Was truly bummed to hear about it today, since Gray's contributions--among others at Apogee--helped to make Duke Nukem 3D such a flagship game for Apogee (under the 3D Realms label) back in 1996.

Especially considering that this is one of Clint's favorite games of all-time, alongside the SimCity series.

Raves aren't entirely my thing, but this ad came up on my Facebook earlier this week and I couldn't not share it, especially here!

Forgot I had this Mavica in my storage unit

And an actual Goodwill find!

funny silly thing i own amidst the bunch of other old mobile phones pdas and electronic devices
used to turn on but the batteries are dead and unsure where to find replacements
apparently a PCMCIA card sized PDA and you can stick it into the PCMCIA port of a PC to sync data and stuff

Awesomeness thrift find today! Complete in box

So I'm certified to build desktops / server racks professionally so I have a somewhat knowledgeable understanding of various motherboard components, but this thing is WILD to me. I look at it and I'm honestly very curious about what the hell I'm looking at lol. If anyone here has any information I'm most curious to learn more.

My father worked for Microsoft as their head of security in the 90's and we were going through old technology pieces deciding what's worth selling / keeping / etc when I came across this piece. As I understand it (if you trust Google anyway), it doesn't really hold any resale value but if Clint is interested in it for a video or even just to have im happy to donate it. Obviously I have no way to test it's functionality, but it's been in an antistatic bag for 20 years and to my understanding it's brand new never been used so I would imagine it works. If anyone else is interested (assuming Clint isn't of course) I'm happy to send it to you for free if you're willing to cover shipping (probably like 5$ if I had to guess).

I'm new here and I don't really use reddit much (I'm a loyal discord user) so if someone could tag Clint in this post so he can at least see it and determine if it's something he would be interested in covering on the channel I'd much appreciate it. I don't avidly watch all of his content but I love his Model M, IBM PC (the one with a brand new Model M), and weird and forgotten tech videos, and I'm happy to contribute for the benefit of everyone else.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post ^~^/

For some reason nero7 kept corrupting itself. However, my lableflash drive was able to work with Nero 10

Someone threw it away among some old credit card 🤔. The thing is I dont have a CD drive on my pc to use it.

I was actually looking for a copy of simcity 4 now I have this amazing collection! Plus the old owners notes are cool too look at lol

I don't really know who else to share this with.

I love my shareware discs and I found a copy of "TOP 10 GREAT 3D ACTION GAMES/VOL 2" from Gold Star, a Canadian publisher that mostly seemed to handle shareware but published a few full games as well.

This disc notably has a couple unreleased titles on it, including Fate (a doom-alike from Intracorp) and IMO, a demo - a tech demo, really, it seems - of a game from "Golden Weeds Japan", who so far as I can tell were a demo scene team in the mid 90s. Information about the game is sparse, but I've uploaded the files to archive here: https://archive.org/details/globalstar-top-103-daction

Attatched are some screen shots from the "game" - it's a... kinda a 1v1 fighting game but you can run around the level, the gimmick of the game is your character is controlled by moving your mouse around the screen - move it to the right and you run right, move it up and you jump, etc - and... and that's kinda it. You've got a couple characters to choose from. There's some platforms that look like they'd teleport you up (indeed, you can see people moving above you, one level up) but, I mean, that's it. It's pretty sparse, but I wanted to share it with someone.

It would be cool if anyone had any more information about it but so far as I can tell there's isn't any. The company website listed is to, apparently, an old school Japanese domain that has no archives on the way back machine (or alternative similar sites). There's just not much there.

My computer growing up was an Atari 520STFM (which I still have!). I always hoped LGR would do a special on the range at some point. They're such forgotten machines and had some interesting aspects.

Since had no drive bay in my desktop made a daughter drive bay consisting of:

Panasonic 3.5 inch floppy drive (for vintage digital photography)

Lableflash drive (for making discT@2s)

Lightscribe (for labelling and most disc access)

Key enables floppy drive and fan. The floppy drive adapter checks to see if the drive is plugged in every now and again and makes noises randomly and it's annoying. Also, who doesn't like a key switch
