My very first PC is back from the dead! It's an IBM PS/1 486DX2 66MHz, and I'm enjoying it right now like I used to when I bought it, back in September 1993!
Let's take a look!

This is amazing, thanks for sharing!

Also I didn't know you're a Warcraft fan

Back then, besides the poin'n'click graphic adventure genre, I was also a fan of RTS type of games

Thanks for watching!

Do you know there's an early Warcraft demo which has a somewhat different Human Barracks sprite, as well as some other differences? I posted some details about it (including screenshots and a download link) a while ago here.

This was my first contact with the fictional universe of Middle Earth created by J. R. R. Tolkien, back in 1989, and was designed by late Mike Singleton (1951-2012), who is considered the father of home computer gaming.

The Playstation 2 has a huge library of games and there are titles that, until now, still didn't have an HD remastered version or re-released on more modern consoles or computers.
Let's take a look at my top 6 still exclusive PS2 games!

I believe this is the 33rd review you've done with a thumbnail image on here

I've been continually updating your first post every time you've uploaded a new video. It's a fine collection you've got going on there.

Spanish publisher ERBE Software fought, in late 80s, a huge battle against piracy drastically reducing the prices of original games. At a certain point, in 1985, created their own branch for software development to separate it from the main publishing business. So, TOPO Soft was born.
Let's take a look at how this all happened!

Glad to see you still doing reviews.

Only been back a day to see if I had any friends and family left.

Anyways, saw the IBM PS1 stuff.

Cool review.

I've managed to grab a 1989 IBM Model M mechanical keyboard in pretty good shape! Let's clean it up and get it ready to rock n roll!

Alright! And if anyone is looking for a source for such a keyboard, Unicomp / PCKeyboard.com has kept the M technology alive, with usb and modern os keys and etc. I've got one of them, and it's everything you'd want when looking for a modern buckling spring keyboard.

Homebrew titles for the ZX Spectrum are pouring down like rain drops! But Stormfinch is kind of special, it uses the Nirvana Engine that can produce an amazing multi colored tiled display never seen before on a Spectrum game!

Great review. I always like to hear stuffs about the IBM 386 20mhz era or so. From what I hear the first DOS chip ever designed runs at 5mhz. My Uncle tells me at his work place when they use to use 5mhz it was extremely slow.

Thank you Jesus Christ - for a perfect life with true friends and true families for the rest of life itself!!!!!!!!!!!!

July of 1985 was when it all began for the Amiga family of computers. It was so ahead of its time that everyone seemed to have a problem to categorize it, even Commodore!
Regardless of the model of the Amiga, here's the 26 video games that, even today, I still relish playing on my Amiga!
Enjoy!

Jesus Christ!hehe

The Amiga is one of the computers my parents bought for me when I was younger. I remember spending countless hours on it. My parents would call me to eat while I worked on it when I was only 12 years old. I just could not seem to get pulled away. hehe

Ten days after its worldwide release on Youtube, Kung Fury has already more than 13 million views.. and counting!
Practicaly at the same time was made available on Steam, iTunes and Google Play the video game adaptation, just like it would happen in late 80s and early 90s!
Let's have a taste of Kung Fury the movie and Kung Fury: Streets Rage the video game!
