- Every time when I explore places, my goal is to find out as much details as possible about the place.
NOTE: I respect every place, so my goal is not to ruin the place but get to know it better, find out more details.

New part: Accessing Abandoned Production Computers - th-cam.com/video/v2D9i4GxKOU/w-d-xo.html
EDIT: I appreciate everyone suggestions! Next time, it will be useful for me to explore those old drives! I'm familiar with VMs and other tools. I just wasn't ready and not expected to find games on the hard drive. I already have other places where I will explore old computers, so see you soon!
yes.

yes.
yes
ofc
Me: *goes to work*
Sanivle: This house looks abandoned. Let's check it out.
imagine taking a shit and you here this guy walking around your "abandoned house"
Lol
lmaooo
FYI: the reason some apps on that drive say they aren't compatible are because they are 16bit applications, and you have 64bit Windows 10. If you had 32bit Windows 10 you could install the 16bit compatibility feature (if it isn't installed by default) and then run those games. The ones that ran were 32bit Applications, which obviously do run on 64bit Windows 10.
Or set up DosBox and mount the drive within the command prompt. That's an easy way to get a modern machine to run those old apps.
@@foxyloon More convenient is installing virtual machine witch XP - can run all old apps, DOS full screen included.
@@adamw.8579 True, but a VM requires significantly more setup/installation to get working. DosBox is more convenient to use in a pinch.
@@foxyloon But DOSBox not support old Win3.x and Win95 16-bit applications, and VM for XP require small amount of memory - 128kB-256kB is quite enough for small Windows apps. Laptop with 2GB RAM is enough to run this setup, even without hardware virtualization (mobile Celeron/T-series Pentium).
Any Win98 Installation will do... heck even a bootable DOS USB stick would work fine to play these :p Just upload the HDD for us :D
Definitely do more of these computer files explores. This is exactly what I wished people would do but in a way that doesn't divulge any sensitive information.
Dude didn't recognise bootleg Tetris.
And also forgot that DOOM has daemons.
I mean it has zombies too
that's a problem how?

its crazy to think that there are so many old abandoned crt monitors, considered junk and people still sell them for £100.
surprised that hard drive still functioned, poorly designed cases of the early 2000's saved the day.
High end CRTs are quite rare, have very, very low latency and very clear images with deep blacks and vibrant colors
@@resneptacle and any resolution will look good on CRT's
Dude went into abandoned place and got Fallout New Vegas level of a loot. Meanwhile if I went into some abandoned building, the next thing I know my liver is missing
@@LinkLinkStudios my liver now 🤗
Someone could make a good horror game based on this video
its called Escape from Tarkov
@sanivle Thank u for respecting abadoned places - in Poland lots of places like this was completly robbed (steel, cable, electronics) and rest of them like any glas or furniture destroyed....
"leave only prints of shoes, take with you only a photos"
~ Explorators of Poland
I’d probably copy files off the drives and that’s it. I hope the robbers sell the objects as is, not scrap them for metal.
Wow, this hard drive has all the 90s classics, so much nostalgia.
those keyboards looked like mechanical ones, i would for sure have taken one with me.
Great video, absolutely fascinating to learn and see more, a real personal peak into what was actually going on. I would love to see more. I know others have already recommended a virtual machine, but I just wanted to say I got mad respect for you particularly at the end when you put the HDD back in the computer and reconnect everything as if you were never there. Nice one!
8:18 you’d mentioned later in the video that the station closed in 2006. If you look at the uninstall file shown here, it has a date of 3/29. It’s likely a that file has a list of file paths added by the installer, so they prob. added that game not long before they closed.
coincidence? i think not.
@@AMV12S when you run apps, some of them update configuration files and etc. so the modified dates change man.
if this was in my country , nothing would be left! a hotel closed down a couple of years ago , people came in to strip copper from wires .
I hope if that people sell electronics as they are, not destroying them
@@the_mariocrafterEven old, obselete computers can be desirable loots as you can use them as a portal to your childhood.
I always wanna go back and play the Metro and Stalker series after i watch these kind of videos.
Showed up on my recommendations, future looks bright for this video best of luck man
Good video this. Interesting. Good to see you left it as you found it. Respect.
This video made me intrigued to look at more of your stuff, im sure ill enjoy it especially if you bring that computer around usually, and show us cool stuff!
It's all fun and games till you get a computer virus from the mid 90's...
I think Windows Defender can spot the difference...
As if a mid-90s virus would be 32 bit.
@@googleadministrator3994 You're probably right, but only as right as one can be responding seriously to my comment which was written as humour...
@@tomcarlson3913 this is straight up dumb
@@tomcarlson3913 I dont really appologize, since I'm one of those people who finds serious humor funny.
It's like getting a plague happening to now like the black plague
I think you should be prepared more with the software side of things in your computer (also maybe upgrade to better battery or make/buy big power bank).
My suggestions are:
a) install some os in Virtualbox (DOS, WIN95, WinXP maybe even Linux). This way you can keep win10 on your pc (because of drivers etc.) and at the same time use older software.
b) use DOSBox. This program can run programs written for dos (also for win 95).
Win XP would not help here, because this pc was running win 95 and that system is based on DOS. Win XP is NT based system. It may work with compatibility mode, but I think DOSBox/VirtualBox on windows 10 is a better choice.
Also, I love this kind of content. It is interesting to see, what is left behind in old computers and dug into it.
"I mean, you know, sometimes you dont need to go you know, to big factories to find something interesting"
Your voice looks like Farengar Secret-Fire from Skyrim(tone and accent) :P
Great vid
Isso o Alanzoka não mostra
Very interesting. Would have been nice to sse whats on the other PC :D Maybe next time get a Power Bank which is capable of charging your laptop. Actually there is one directly from DELL which also should be compatible with your laptop :)
The other PC has no hard drive so I suppose it was a backup PC for replacement if the main PC is down for hardware issues.
I would have lifted those computers, I'm obsessed with old hardware
Everything is so old
me: how the frick is the toilet paper and the detergent and sht around that place still intact
this looks like something out of a post apocalyptic movie or game
Even his laptop is old
It wouldn't be wise to carry an expensive, good computer, right?
@@sanivle yea its a business grade laptop
Me walking through the dangerous wastelands of Boston trying to find some f#### glue
sanivle goals is beyond our understanding
bro made a good decision to lock himself, i imagine if he had to run but windows still was on update
big brain move
Damn those older computers are worth a lot used online. I'd take them with me!
now this is the content i want on my recomended
Wish there was an abandoned company building still full with retro tech like this where i live at...
I would recommend to have a power bank to power drives like that so it wont drain your laptop battery, also trying to boot the drive, not reading the data from it, this will give you the experience they had back then.
The title should be: Trying to play old games in abandoned gas station.
In Mexico all those things would have disappeared long time ago. Even the doors, the windows and the pumps. A few meters from my home there was a convenience store which later was closed. Everything was dismantled in a matter of months even the structure of the roof.
At that point might as well take over the building and open your own convenience store
If the all the stuff are left behind to rot then there is nothing wrong with taking/sell them so they wont be wasted.
This channel is so interesting... bet it'll blow up
Hey dude, I recommend when you check out the hard drives, you should copy what you want to open into the laptop before opening, because when you open the programs directly from the drive, some of the files change and you basically overwrite them. If you want you can delete them after, but this is just so you don't modify the original drive
Doom and Duke 3D.. this gas station operator was a cultured man
That graph looking game is actually a puzzle where you fill in squares using the number on the left and top to create a picture. Almost like connect the dots but harder
feels like a Fallout quest :D
Yes you should do more this kinda thing is interesting asf
11:32 *Christmas tree, wonderful* :D
DOSBox, that's what you need :).
old hard drive: chilling, doing nothin
this guy: zdrazvuytye
go back
and flip all the switches up!
thats how you do it
EVERY SWITCH
and you got power
The wires in the room are cut off and this causes a short circuit so the switches don't work there.
everybody: Tetris
a bored gas station employee from 1992: BRICKS
See's cut in footage while heading to the back of building, no water damage or water in building with door open.
I turned 2 years old when the folder was modified and quake 1 and 2 was my all time favourite pc game.
daaaamn! 1992/2006 28/29 years later and you've explored it.. it might have been worth checking to see if the company still existed, maybe they closed that gas station due to issues but the company still exists and some of those files and documents might may be useful.... also you know doom and quake but not the tetris knock offs? =p
If you have a 32-bit version of Windows 10 you could run those games with applied compatibility layer. The reason many games didn't run and Windows was complaining is that those were 16-bit games and by no means supported by a 64-bit Windows.
That's a great collection of games.
It's like Tarkov but no guns and scavs and PMC xD
by watching this video i noticed that the most important part of a computer is actually its hard drive
and thankfully normally this is the part that lasts the most, unless for, you know, physical damage
if your entire computer is wrecked but the hdd is still alive, and you get another computer and set up your old hdd there, so it is more likely that you basically did not switch computers at all
so any processor can process stuff, any ram can deal with the same stuff generally speaking, but what keeps the story alive, what has the precious information is the hdd
Right-click on the game icon then go to properties and then click on the Compatibility tab and then select the OS that you want to go with.
"Woah, there's nothing" Made me cry, lol
It's very amazing this hard drive is still working in a bad climate and has files from 1992. Probably don't need expensive backup options. Just store the old hard drive and never use it.
You can use DosBox to run these games.
Tip: You could try to run the apps on compatibility mode for Windows XP SP3 or older, there's a great chance it will work (because I've tried so)
3:14 "Everything's so old, it's stuck in old times."... *Then proceeds to look at a fax machine which businesses still actually use.* lol, just shows you how old that technology actually is.
what businesses still use fax machines dear god
@@henrycgs A lot of them. I would say at least 50%. All hospitals and government locations in the US still use them.
Stalker 2 is looking amazing!
That was interesting to see. Never expected to find a place like this and people didn't steal everything.
5:23 Wait a minute, I had this exact case in the early 2000's! I still remember that the Power button is very bad (it got deeply stuck).
So these computers must be from the early 2000s too huh
Dude, post this games some where! they are gold!
funfact: if you install the 32bit version of windows 10 you can run those games(which are probably 16-bit). Or you can run them in DOSBox
I would 100% yoink that fridge
you can right-click properties and compatibility and run this program in compatibility mode for
calangao mandou a braba
this is cool content dude ! :)) the intro looks like escape from tarkov lol
EXCELLENT VIDEO BROTHER, GREETINGS FROM COSTA RICA!
did you sharpie over all the key caps? :D
also, look into something like virtual box, so you carry multiple vintage OSs on modern hardware
you could boot from the bios screen into the orginal operating system from that hard drive
It seems like most of those games are DOS games, maybe try to bring a version of DOSBox and try to run the games that way, or better yet, bring a version of PCem and try to boot the drive as an emulated old computer.
I loved your video, thanks!
Interesting content, I would like to see more of this, Subbed!
i wonder if those people who work in the gas station still around and still remember the place
Please do more this was really interesting :)
I try 90s games in windows 7 and it works
Great job!! This is most interesting, greetings from Argentina, new sub
In the future, what you should do is to bring a Multi boot Live USB drive.
Allows you to quickly boot between different operating systems, so Win 98, Win XP, 7, 10, Linux, and so on...
This would give you the capabilities to be able to access most if not all of the various operating systems out there and at least poke around better.
If you want i can help you set it up, or there are several easy programs out there that can help you set this up.
And then you just bring your computer out, and then pop in the drive, boot into whatever you feel like you need and poke around.
All fun and games until you find videos of people getting tortured at the abandoned building on the hard drives
Most times it’s the fact that the hard ware is to fast for the game not the soft ware
you just exposed the worker there for secretly playing games during work lol
8:35 You need either a computer with MS-DOS or DosBox or Windows 9x which core runs on DOS.
bruh could have took free ram but left it just sitting out of the computer
I would have cloned the disk instantly. You could have than explored the other PC aswell.
No hard drive on the other PC.
@@sanivle that's a shame
getting post-apocalyptic vibes from this video
In my past in my brain remember technology just laptop and computer
Use a virtual machine with a shared drive that way you can emulate any Operating System on your Base Win10 device.
The thing that surprises me the most is the fact that place has been abandoned for 15 years and hasn't been vandalized.
yes, and that matress could mean that somebody sleeps there
you can get a VM set up and have different versions of legacy windows for different applications, then all you have to do is pas through the Hard drive and the software will work!
8:12 DAAAAMN! This is one 90s treasure chest!
Cool video, look forward to watching more.
You just download DosBox and open it. Then type: mount c E:\games [enter] and if it's not show C:\, then type C:
Then for example type: cd doom [enter]
and type: doom.exe [enter]
This is the easiest way. Easier than virtual machine with xp.
Hi from Romania.
You found two boxes with electrical fuses.
I think you could reconnect them and you have power.
You should scan the HDD first for old viruses. Did you found porn ?
You can buy a power bank or a inverter so you could power the PC.
Nice video. Thank you !
i think finding doom on a pc shuld be a level up...like a collection...have a counter ya know
You may have been able to run more of those games if you had a virtual machine on that computer of yours that runs an older version of Windows.
