I like this quote friom the readme: "If you really insist on paying for the game, send me a gif picture showing a dollar note..."
It's beautiful that you cover such pure, yet obscure creations. Without people like you spreading this knowledge it would likely be lost forever in a few generations time.
I love that Herb Alpert record you have up there in the background. One of my all-time favorites.
Hey, Clint, I really think you should review Sid Meier's Railroad Tycoon for MS-DOS. You touched on it in your review of Sid Meier's Civilization, but I think it deserves a full review or at least a quick review. Last year was the 25th anniversary of its release.
I've got a boxed copy on the way actually, and I hope to review in the future!
Yay!
I love that Herb Alpert album in the background,. You've got great taste in music.
Love to see Herb Alpert on the back! You should do a video talking about your vinyl records. I'd watch that.
I'm sure it'll happen someday!
@@LGR still waiting! ;)
@@TheTuttle99Even today.
Whipped Cream and Other Delights is one of my favorite album covers of all time!
my dad is huge Tijuana Brass fan
Your DOS reviews are awesome! It helps me discover older titles that I never got to play in the 80s and 90s. I love playing DOS Games on my Nintendo Wii with DOSBOX and my MacBook with Boxer DOSBOX emulators. Thanks!
I remember playing this way back...
Was always interesting too back in the day of shareware, when you could call up the devs and ask them questions about the game/program before you bought it.
That's really cool man. I didn't try this one back in the day. I assumed it was a part of the Champ remakes, but apparently it's not.
One of my absolute favourite shareware/mailware games! I too feature a HD gameplay video of it on my channel. I know that there are a few versions of this game going round on the internet and I got some more of them on different shareware disks over here! :) Great video Clint, keep it up!
That 'whipped cream' album.... My dad has it, both sides of my grandparents have it, and I see it 70% of the time I go to a thrift store.
It's haunting me, huh?
Rest in peace Dave Mirra
I've never heard of this! Thank you for showing us!
Noticed the Vulgar Display of Power record in the background, excellent taste Clint!
Awesome video, and great Pantera album in the background!
I like the part where dozents of little enterprises start flying into the screen.
Man, I miss having boxes of diskettes sometimes...
I see that Dave Mirra game on your shelf behind you. I used to play it crap loads when I was a kid. He was a hometown hero for me since me and him are from Greenville, NC. Also brings up the fact that he recently took his own life. It's crazy how people you've never met can affect your life. Anyways, great video as always Clint.
Is that Pantera in the background ? LGR, You should do some one time spin off showing off your music collection.
+Broken wizzard I thought it was the 1993 VGA shareware version of the 'Vulgar Display Of Power' local co-op beat 'em up
I don't see it....
You mentioned the Demo scene and that made me want to see a video with some of your favorite demos :P
Having a C64 in Poland all the games I have are bootlegs so I'm very familiar with those kinds of intros. I'd often boot up some games just to listen to the music on them.
Also, wrong Galaga TH-cam Gaming.
Why do I have a feeling this video may have created more new fans of Herb Alpert than of Galaga '94?
Loving your new videos! So awesome!
AOL games channel...oh how that takes me back. Wish I checked this out back in the day, thanks for putting up the link
Clint, when are you gonna play Whipped Cream and Other Delights??
+openSUSE5 What the heck is it? I thought it was a vinyl record....
+tommytomthms5 It is. It's a solid album too. I picked it up at a thrift store because the cover has been on a lot of Best Album Covers of All Time style lists, but I gave it a listen, and it's actually pretty great if you like horn music.
Firevine Is there any songs from it on youtube so I know what I'm buying before I buy it for the art?
tommytomthms5 just checked. The whole album is available as one video or you can listen track by track.
OWOW! Sweet lookin' album cover there sir!
It looks kind of interesting to me, it's curious to see someone who probably started by trying to make a clone of Galaga that would have less than 64K (It's not stated outright, but the demoscene influence in the style and small size seems to suggest so if I had to warrant a guess) and ended up putting their own spin on things and creating a game that is maybe not the most interesting, but at least an interesting curiosity in history of Galaga series clones and spinoffs.
I love that LP cover :) in the background
Clint this video is making me want to listen to Herb Alpert while playing Galaga. Good job.
Ahhh, the halycon days of shareware. SkiFree and Bounce spring to mind. :)
+Novabug Scorched Earth and Solar Winds for me :D
These quickies are a great way to go through more of ur large of library! Especially for games ur not really feeling up to pouring too much editing and footage capture, Clint!
Out of every uploader I know, I think ur the one who benefits the most from a quickie format since ur very specific in ur channel's focus on pc and ur catalog is so vast.
Plus 6 minutes is really substantial
Dave Mirra! F*cking loved that game. And what a soundtrack!
YES! Someone else has played Strife! I thought I was the only one! I'm sure you get plenty of review requests but I would love to hear your opinion on it!
This video triggered memories of playing this years and years ago. I've no idea when or how, but I do know this game. It's really annoying when you recall something like this, but can't remember the context or even how you got it.
This reminds me of the days of PS1 when Namco Museum was released and the game Galaxian was on there. It was awesome and it had this little sci-fi stage set you went in to play the game. Thanks for the memories LGR....now I've got to some tiny onion ninjas to find.
You have an Herb Alpert album in the background and I'm inhaling nitrous oxide while watching you, small world, we must be twins.
I got to play this a long time ago, when I first had access to the internet. Those were some really strange and interesting times.
nice to see some obscure game from austria :D
and btw
greetings from austria ;)
cheers
Nice Herb Alpert/Pantera juxtaposition
Just came upon that on twitter... can't belive it. I guess I don't even have a working copy of that any more?? Not to mention the source code... Or maybe I should have a look on old floppy discs. DAMN.. got no floppy drive any more. :-) THANKS FOR REVIEWING THIS!
+Arnold Pichler Are you the creator? Awesome!
Googled LP in the background, was not disappointed.
How many Herb Alpert records have you seen in your thrifting career? 200? 2000? 2000000?
+Sarsam133 I only seem to find Nana Mouskouri records...I'd legit love to find a copy of Whipped Cream.
+Patrick soandsoersonmcgee Haha, yes Nana Mouskouri instantly came to mind.
+Patrick soandsoersonmcgee Awesome record to collect as a conversation piece and the music's pretty great too.
+Sarsam133 If I had 25 cents for every Barry Manilow or John Denver record I've seen thrifting I'd certainly be retired by now.
As always, great video :)
whipped cream and other delights, the penultimate thrift store album. guaranteed to be in every thrift store ever until the end of time
LGR, have you ever covered the history of Shareware? Would you be able to? I'd love to hear how it all started, perhaps the starting games with the model? Was it Apogee, Epic Mega Games? Would honestly love to hear about the subjects history.
That "Whipped Cream & Other Delights" game is just staring me right in the face and freaking me out lol
Got it for Dosbox after seeing the video. Lovin' it. You gotta give this game a shot guys!
For a better Galaga type game from the time there was Space Junkie, which was tons of fun. Swoop was also a great classic of the mid 90's.
Those upgrades REALLY remind me of Galactix (another awesome Galaga-style DOS game)
Gotta love Pantera next to Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass Band!
More mailware this episode is awesome!!!
There was also a cool version of Galaga on Amiga, called Deluxe Galaga, by late Edgar M. Vigdal
I was huge into the demo scene as a kid. Future Crew fanboy
Cool! I often wonder how different I would be if I grew up with all these different games. :)
- Galaga and Pac Man , I had over 20 folks behind me watching me turn the Games Over at the Arcades , Knew all the Patterns :) QC
OMG diskette nostalgia, still have dozens of those in a box loaded with BBS loot, and of course we end up crossing off Harry 3
You thought we wouldn't notice, but we did.
Never been a fan of Galaga, Pacman, Defender etc. But that text file/mailware thing was awesome. haha
Has LGR Ever done an episode on Severance: Blade of Darkness?
That game had such an impact on me when I was younger, great memories.
I have a sixth sense. The sense of funny. And you have activated my funny sense.
Thinking about shareware/demo shooters reminds me of Kaeon. It was only 3 levels, with a style that put a lot of emphasis on parallax scrolling. It had amazing midi music and the most interesting part was that the bosses and mini bosses had to be worn down by breaking off pieces of them, revealing complexity underneath.
has LGR ever played Sky roads? I'm not really sure where that game came from. But the computer room at my old school had that game, and everyone was addicted to it.
Covered its Christmas edition long ago!

+Lazy Game Reviews Nice!!
he has, but only the holiday version
+JustNSnow He has. He reviewed Sky Roads XMas Special a while back.
Dear Clint,
I think Bermuda Syndrome would make for a great video.
Cheers
What a small world... A game from my hometown! The University of Technology Graz (aka TU-Graz) is just 200m form my apartment
I've got that Tijuana Brass album on cassette tape lol, nice!
Whipped Cream and Other Delights. Classy.
Dave Mirra's BMX is life
2:36 aww sweet footage of Birth Control Sim
QUESTION did you ever come across a game, about space exploration, colony building on planets in many solar systems, moving resources, andalien races and fighting alien enemies?
I belive the main enemy race was Dataclaptak (hostile crystal entety) and the game title was probably Colony 3
Battles were conducted in 3d as small model ships shoot each other with 3 axies of movement freedom and base building and alien encounters were conducted in 2d window mode. There was also galactic map build of moving poinst representing planetary systems. I can't sind it anywhere, but i belive it was as old as transport tycoon, duke 3d or genewars (because i got it on one cd from someone)
OH DUDE, I HAVE THAT HERB ALPERT ALBUM.
Nice taste.
Thanks for the video.
I like your Commander Keen T-shirt.
dat whipped cream sleeve though :D
That Herb Alpert's album cover in the background is the shizzy! Wonder what the "Other Delights" are? He...He... ;D
Awesome
read the title and screamed yes please
Hey, while watching your vids my eyes are always drawn to the box behind you of lego island and I remember all the time I spent exploring it as a kid, any chance you'll ever do a vid on that? Keep up the good work.
Deluxe Galaga on the Amiga (AGA) is probably my favorite Galaga version.
YAY, A NEW VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
looks pretty good to me!
Dave Mirra's Freestyle BMX behind you. Great game, any chance we can get a quickie on it anytime soon?
Definitely planning to cover it, yeah. RIP, Mr. Mirra!
I love that shirt LGR!
Any plans for a review of Dangerous Dave in the near future? It was a pretty neat platformer and one of my first DOS games experiences.
Can't stop staring at that boxed Bermuda Syndrome...
OMG I love this T-shirt! :)
Ha, i live about 1 km away in Graz from this guy Arnold Pichler : )
Lazy Game Reviews : You should really look into the amiga Deluxe Galaga and Deluxe Pacman they are shareware as well and i belive are from 1995 but i think you would be suprised they are really good :)
HOLD UP.
We dembonz.
boi he boutta do it
Awesome thanks
Nice Herb Alpert album!!!
Thanks!
+Lazy Game Reviews Somebody donated that record to our high school radio station back in the day. It did fit our format so it wasn't completely random. Hard to forget a record cover like that!
I have that record. It bops.
Ha! I can tell from the email address that the dude went to the Technical University of Graz, I used to go there too! :D
Lol, I had this on one of those hundreds of demos cds. I'm from Germany btw. but I remember this! Sadly, I don't have any cd collection from my childhood anymore, don't know who took it, it's a mystery.
Looks pretty good. The backgrounds are a bit too busy, though.
Happy Pi Day LGR! :)
Dat LP!
I've got that same album, bad ass
It took me too long to realize that that wasn't the box for a game based on Herb Alpert in the background.
A Tijuana Brass game would be awesome
I love your videos :D
