  • Celebrating 15 years of LGR! When I first starting making these videos, the retro gaming and vintage computer scene looked quite different. So let's take a look back at how much the hobby has changed in the last decade and a half! Mostly for the better, I feel.

    Congrats on 15 years! I've been watching for about the last 10 years and I'm still loving your videos.
    The price of retro hardware is crazy these days, but the most encouraging part for me is the young people getting into it. Our 10 year old and his friends are really into 90s computing and they design their own games with pixelart graphics and chiptune music. It's great to see retro computing inspiring so many people.
    I just wish I had kept that 486 we had. Or the Tandy 1000EX. Or that BeBox I bought used in the late 90s. Or the Next Station. Or even that old Roland Alpha Juno 2 ... 😬

    We have an injoke about LGR in this household. Before I met my husband we had both discovered LGR. Once we were dating, my husband kept forgetting that I also watched LGR, so he would see my youtube feed and say "Hey, you watch LGR?" some 3-4 times before he remembered it proper over a time pierod of almost a year. So nowadays when one of us is in the middle of watching LGR and the other walks by it's promptly followed by the classic phrase.

    As someone that’s been messing around with tech for most of my life, I can say it’s become a lot harder. Especially here in Australia! What people considered worthless junk is now expensive and much harder to find. I used to get whole businesses worth of old computers for nothing. Those days have sadly passed.

      in the 90s near Boston I'd trashpick computers, specifically to get a 386 that would run linux. I ended up grabbing stuff out of curiosity and nostalgia, too. In that time Japan was even better pickings. People were throwing away perfectly good computers, monitors and everything, just to migrate from Windows 3 to Win95. But also, just lithium batteries and bad transistors have killed off a lot of things from the early days of microcomputers. They're aging out as well as being obsolete.

      I also miss old thrifting for PC/electronics. Perhaps it comes & go in waves. I saw only few 20+ year-old PC games in the past couple years. But I've seen sooooo many vintage sewing machines and bread machines in my local thrift stores. Thrifting works in waves as people dump garages, barns, estate sales. In short, now is the time to buy a 100+ year old sewing machine for $20, but whether that's your hobby? Hmmm.

      I haven't seen a PC in a thrift store in over 15 years. Super rarely I see a hard drive (on its own, most of the time completely trashed) and it's been about a year now since I've seen any beige keyboard or actually any PS/2 device. It's over - recyclers occasionally have them, and even my source of this stuff is drying up, as is the resale market: I haven't sold a retro PC on eBay in close to a year now. Everything comes to an end, and it was a very fun and quite a profitable run for the last decade or so ;)

    To provide some direct feedback: I watch your videos because they evoke a sense of coziness, calm, and relaxation. Old technology, especially from the 90s, fills me with nostalgia. Everything back then felt fresh, new, and somehow innocent compared to today. These days, almost everything looks the same. However, back then, you encountered so much intriguing and unusual stuff, some of which you've featured in your "Oddware" episodes. Old tech reminds me of a time I recall as easier and more peaceful, even if not as comfortable as today. Keep up the excellent work, Clint! Greetings from Germany.

Back when you could direct message creators, any vintage tech question I had went right to Clint and he would never fail to answer. Wish I still had access to that account. He is the reason I was successful in my vintage computing hobby. Back then, information on old computers wasnt as easily available on TH-cam. All these years later, this channel still has the content and integrity it had all those years ago, so we're all still watching!

    Been watching LGR for about 10 or so years and coming from North-Eastern Europe, I never had the chance to experience almost any of the retro tech you’ve showcased here, because computers became an everyday thing around here only during this century. So glad and thankful I could see and experience all of this second-hand! The early episodes of Thrifts especially, because our thrift shops only ever had clothes and regular household items, certainly nothing to do with computing.
    Thanks for everything, Clint, wish you all the best! ❤

Reinforcing loads of comments made here I can remember in about 2005 thinking I had done really well when I bought an Amiga 1200 with an accelerator card, squirrel SCSI, and a SCSI CD ROM for £50 and sold it on eBay a couple of weeks later for £120.

    cheers :) i’ve been watching over a decade now and it’s been amazing seeing you remain independent and your own person. i always admired that quality of yours and that’s what keeps me coming back! it’s you! thank you for the knowledge and games you have shared throughout the years. you’ve really ignited my love in vintage/retro computers and tech and i still have great aspirations to learn more and to become a collector of these relics. it used it be very intimidating for me as a woman growing up talking to people about my love for vintage tech because i always felt like i didn’t know enough like people who grew up in the 80s or even before (or some dudes). but now i’ve realized it doesn’t matter if i don’t understand it as well as other people, i still love it all just the same. watching your videos was like having an nonjudgmental presence to look up to and learn from which helped me grow more confident in my love for all tech old and retro (and wonky lol). you always have the most interesting oddware finds that everytime one pops up on my feed, i go, “i NEED to see what clint has to say about this weird thing i’ve never heard of before” congrats to you and this channel and community you’ve built 🎉

    What’s really crazy is how your channel has maintained a certain high level of quality you don’t really see much anymore on TH-cam, and for 15 years nonetheless. Love LGR, been watching since the beginning!

    Many are the work hours I've idled through watching your channel! Thanks to YOU, I now have a working IBM 5150 and MIDI mountain of my own. You've rekindled hobies and interests I'd forgotten I had from 30 years ago and have thus been enriched. Thanks for the Thrifting nostalgia, too, something I have to binge in winter. Congratulations on 15 years!

    I think you're the best retro content on the tube. Great work Clint! I am early GenX and completely dig your content! I think you're the best retro channel on the tube. You are all over the map on level of complexity and that I like.

    Seriously, you are in my top5 TH-cam channels. I'm always getting so nostalgic when I watch your content. Some things I haven't seen in more than 25 years.

    On the next 15 years of LGR❤

    I've always been interested in history and technology, and with those things combined, it's made quite the hobby. I wish I could remember when I started watching your channel, as I probably ended up watching the back catalog, but I got 'back' into retro around 2014 when I pulled out my old model 1 Sega Genesis and then started finding ways to make it look better on a modern TV. Crazy to think I've been at it for even 10 years and I agree, it's a wonderful time to be into retro with all the cool stuff people have made to use with it.

    Amazing work!!, I think I started watching your videos because of the nostalgia related rare items you show here, but there's something about the way you describe things, about you voicework that makes the content more interesting and it's relaxing at the same time. Anyway, thanks for sharing your passion! (an argentinian geek here)

  • @EthanLeitch

    I found it really interesting how you talked about the prices and supply/demand of these vintage PCs, games, accessories etc.
    I'm fairly young and the PC parts that give me Nostalgia are the ones from about 2006 to 2010. It may seem recent but I think it's a severely underrated era of PC hardware and gaming. Parts aren't in very high demand so I'm able to buy top-end hardware for crazy cheap, and I'm constantly finding flagship hardware being scrapped or thrown away. I wasn't able to afford parts like these growing up - I've now got Maximus II Extreme and Nforce 780i/790i motherboards, graphics cards like 8800 GTXs in triple SLI, dual-gpu cards like the GTX 295 and HD 5970, and tons more.
    It's such a sweet spot to play games in, and has great hardware compatibility with games from Windows XP arguably all the way through the start of Windows 10 in 2015.
    I really think hardware from this era is slept on, big time. Lots of cool stuff, crazy looking hardware, creative design, and I think XP/Windows 7 are the golden era of Windows.

    Congrats, dude. When I first saw your channel I didn't know what it really was (when you had the intro of opening the can and going, "Ahh"). Game reviews, thrifting (I'm English so hadn't heard that term before) and building 486's - WTF? It was retro but I hadn't seen that before, that's how early you were. Favourite episode: probably that crazy voice control system "Monday Wednesday at two o'clock..." thing you did - made me cry with laughter that one.

    Hey Clint! Thanks for all your work documenting vintage computers and software and whatnot. Your videos have been super entertaining over the years, and you definitely inspired and fed my own passion for vintage computers! So congratulations on the milestone, and I hope you continue to enjoy the hobby (it must feel more like a lifestyle for you at this point!) for years to come!

People like me will always be behind you, and you always bring new stuff to our attention. To me, Clint is equal to Grannet. Nothing ever erodes it.

    Even when you started you are such a misfit to your chosen moniker. You are so much: Soothing, Humble, Kind, Sociable, Knowledgeable and Dedicated. But Lazy? Not even close. Thank you so much for all of your entertaining reviews, Oddware and keeping an open mind while not hyperactively demanding attention to yourself. Such a relief :-) .Congrats on your lustrum and I'm looking
    forward to many more videos if you can still stand the way YT is running things.

    I'm watching you for like ten years and it's a great pleasure to watching you presenting all kinds of retro stuff. PC games, PC components, weird tech, it never gets boring. I miss something like this here in Germany. And even I couldn't match that amount of quality you deliver in your videos. You can even afford new old stock stuff, you can experience these things like buying this fresh after release. Love to see more of this content. Thank you very much.
    And yeah, the prices for retro stuff is too high these days. For example: I bought "The Need for Speed" for PC in very good condition for only 23€ on Ebay. From a commercial trader. Ten years later they offer the same game for 100€. I collected a lot of classic titles like "Tomb Raider", "Transport Tycoon", "Bleifuss" (European version of "Screamer"), "Half-Life" and more for no more like 5, 10 or 20€. Best find in 2024 was a new old stock copy of "Trespasser" for 40€, but you must have very good luck getting these prices.
    And good grief, computers. I got a fully working 486DX2/66 system in 2015 for about 50€. Or a fully working Pentium 75 system in 2013 for 20€. I still have my 3dfx Voodoo 3 3000 AGP I bought on Ebay for only 1,50€ in 2013. Too damn expensive.
