I had Magic Desk as a kid that I got from a friend for our 486 PC when we got rid of the 386SX machine. It was amazing, I loved it. All my games, apps and shortcuts right there, even made one to boot into Windows. It actually felt like Windows at the time, bypassing all those DOS commands to play games and do things. Magic Desk was a great piece of software for its time. I loved it.
Its a doom .wad/mod, the doom modding community is full of crazy shit like that. It doesn't change anything beyond the item/enemy sprites and the sounds though.
@@CommodoreFan64 There are a lot of add-on levels, level packs, partial conversions (PC) and total conversions (TC) for DooM too, although most of them are for DooM 2 - especiallly most of the PC and TC's. but there are some for DooM 1/Ultimate DooM also... These add-ons that just modified some of the enemy sprites and objects lost quickly any value in my eyes back in the day, and nowdays I only touch the stuff I mentioned in the beginning of this comment.
So glad you linked to the ISO of the disc. Will have some fun with this I think. Quickshot use to be quality here in the UK especially during the Spectrum/Amiga days, this crap you have does to do it justice.
QuickShot made some nice controllers, some quirky oddballs, and some cheap shit. They had a controller for everybody in an attempt to slice out the biggest piece of the controller pie.
@@CptJistuce Exactly, the joystick I liked the most back in the days was the QS-128/138F (also known as the maverick), but the d-pad of their controllers was terrible.

dont know if you guys cares but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all of the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. Have been watching with my gf for the last days xD
Ladderadder Mcglitternips I know that. But a custom Doom WAD based on The Simpsons? You can only play custom WADs on the full version of Doom, and The Simpsons is a copyrighted TV show.
@@alicesavage69420 The simpsons wad could well be legal as it can clearly be described as parody, but I just read that older versions of shareware doom could in fact load PWAD's but it was removed from shareware version later, and that the version on the disc is the shareware version.
This comes from slightly before my time, but it still tickles me to no end to see this sort of thing. Seeing a demo disc and crappy peripherals almost feels like a more authentic representation of that era of gaming...
They're (mostly) crappy indeed but the QuickShot brand is legendary for European retrogamers, everyone that started gaming in microcomputes has had a Quickshot branded joystick at some point.
6:20 That System Shock icon... See, if they were just picking images that somewhat resembled the title, they still wouldn't pick THAT. I think someone at the company had too much fun that day.
I'm stunned to hear you mention a Calvin & Hobbes game, as Bill Waterson never allowed his characters to be licensed for any sort of merchandise, TV show, or game. Even the little stickers you see on cars of Calvin peeing on logos, is bootleg and made without his permission. Guess that game slipped way under the radar back in the day.
I didn't mention anything more about it because, like most of the other games on that menu, it's just a random icon associated to a game that is completely unrelated. The game itself is Heretic: th-cam.com/video/PvXDik3-XG0/w-d-xo.html
Holy shit I had that GUI we had on our 286 when I was growing up, before Windows 3.1 came about. They clearly took that and rebranded it for their own purposes. It even has the pixel color changer to mess with icons.
9:07 Oh yeaaah, I remember Clint's icon packs! Back in the day he used to have a torrent with a TON of them and they did look good! Win 3.1 icons IIRC, wish I still had 'em!
I had a couple of these as a kid, and as lucky as I got with some of them, this one is a goddamn gold mine. Despite the terrible controllers, there are some fantastic games on that disc!
I really liked this! I like the idea of you just pulling random stuff off your shelf and just jumping right into it. It doesn't have to be super fancy or anything.
Huh. I had that joystick once. Wasn't too bad, but wasn't great. Used to play Descent with it. Good times. God, weren't shareware CDs WEIRD (in a really great way) sometimes, though?
Yeah especially when you're like 8 years old and have to figure all that DOS stuff out by yourself since your parents have less of a clue than you after a couple months of usage.
Man, disks like that saved my childhood! Just a load of demo CD's that let little me play games that I just couldn't afford. Now as a grown up, I can afford and play them all :D
You and me both. Played some totally off-the-wall games I'd never see any other way, too. I mean, sure episode 1 of Doom, Alien Carnage, Raptor, Tyrian, and Descent was awesome, but then you find Radix: Into the Void, a pile of SVGA Arkanoid clones, and some cool scrolling shooter that you can't remember the title of though you'd dearly love to play it again.
I had hundreds of shareware games back in the 90s because I couldn't afford full price software. Shareware was my jam because I could afford 5 to 10 bucks for a whole slew of games. These days I have all the full versions of games I never had as a kid so yay me. I do grab shareware stuff for the lols and memories too 🙂
I love these relaxed videos. Watched all your videos since I found you channel a few months back. Your Thrift videos really helped me when I walked on the threadmill at the gym. Keep making more videos! I would really like to see a video mini-techtale or something from you about Windows ME. Windows ME totally passed me by as a kid, and nowadays it's broken legacy is almost forgotten. Keep Clintin'
On another note, I wonder if Simpsons Doom includes a stolen registered copy of Doom 1 on the disk, because that would make the copyright infringement even sweeter.
5:56 - never played Along in the Dark, but I sure could go for some Captain Comic 2 I used to love making my own icons as well. OS/2 had an editor and considering that it ran DOS games so well, I created icons for nearly all the games we had on the brand new 486 we got back in 1992. That machine has long gone, though I still have the OEM badge and the QuickShot game port joystick that we had with it, which I think was a little higher end than the one here
Plenty of discs in Eastern Europe that had things like Windows installer + Microsoft office + tons of cracked software from WinRAR and Norton Tools to antiviruses and ACDSee, plus a few simulation games.) Or "best fighting games on PC collection" with Virtua Fighter, Mortal Kombat and some obscure Japanese bootlegs on one disc, or even things like "Westwood and Blizzard, full collection". On one CD. Most games were rips with no FMVs, music and sometimes even sounds cut.)
This exact same shareware CD came with a PC I bought sometime in 1996-97, very cool to see it again here never seen it featured anywhere online before. It had a lot of cool games to try on it, I spent a lot of hours playing all the stuff on it.
Oh my god, this was amazing. Thank you for yet another great video, Clint. You're easily my favorite TH-camr, can't wait to see more LGR Tech Tales and nostalgic 90s game reviews :P
Hey Clint I am wondering if you might be willing to help me out on some nostalgia hunting. I'm looking for a old CD one of those Shareware 101 games on one disc things and I really need help finding it as it has some obscure shareware on it I want to find again. The CD it's self was orange like a attempt to mimick Nickelodeon's orange goop splat and had DROD, Crazy Gravity, Nightmare 3d, Gazzillionare Deluxe, Kung Fu Kim, and many others on it but try as I might I cannot find the exact one I'm looking for it was sold in Walmart around 1997 (I remember it was my second PC game on CD. Simcity 2000 was my first.) and there were so many little dodads and widgets on it I just want to find it and see what else was on there. I remember one of the games had sound clips in it that were sped up clips from Deputy Dawg as well with the character going "It's Possible. It's Possible." which was a line Musky the Muskrat said a lot and I know it was from the cartoon as it had Musky's southern accent. It was true plagiarism if you think about it. Also I think you mean Helga Putaki not Pickel. That was Bonkers D. Bobcat's partner Lucky Pickel XD just having fun with ya on old obscure cartoons.
That Quarantine game brings back so many childhood memories. I had this CD called DOA that had a bunch of really cool DOS games like Quarantine, Alone in The Dark, Indiana Jones, etc. I think I still have it to...
This was great! Find more weird things and do more of these. Love your produced, scripted stuff a ton, but this laid-back "lets look at the random stuff I've found" format is a perfect complement to your thrifting videos. Also I'm so happy to know what a bizarre "gem" Quarantine is thanks to Ross' Game Dungeon. Not enough people covering old PC games on TH-cam, boy - its crazy that hardly anyone on TH-cam has yet reviewed Chasm: The Rift or Uprising or Eradicator... we NEED people like you, (or PUR, or Ross, or GGGManLives) to dig this stuff up and dive in and actually look at it all, LGR! :)
My Son Will find this Hilarious. He Was Born in 1996 and currently He is Playing His Games On Steam, Laughs coming Soon. Your Videos are So Awesome! Hope to see More LGR Thrifts and LGR Cooking too.
I think I might have had that games collection CD, or at least one VERY much like it. Because that GUI is hitting all the nostalgia centers in my brain.
Unfortunately, they still make these "gaming fun multipack" things. Last year, my mom knew I had a 3ds, and she got me a kit with some cases, a dodgy car charger, a pair of headphones (that are probably made of tin foil and slave labor), a cleaning cloth, and a little bag. The charger sounds like jiffy pop. It's the thought that counts though, right?
Seriously, do a collab with Vinny (from Vinesauce) on this. He has loads of videos of cheapo plug-and-play systems and this seems like it would be right up his alley. :P
Oh Magic Desk. That GUI brings back so many memories of 3.1 Windows computer. As a kid we had Magic Desk for dos games and then would have to boot into window 3.1
I remember seeing the boobs icon somewhere among stock Windows 3.x icon compilations. Never expected that it will be used for Jill of the Jungle in a commercial product LMAO
Ah, not having a 386 or 486 anymore these videos are just wonderful. DOSBox just doesn't cut it. I need the smell, the sounds! Admittedly, I only get 50% of those via TH-cam, but you get what I mean I'm sure.
When Clint opened the Simpson doom you could see the utter joy on his face
I mean who wouldn't. Anything from the Simpsons golden age is great.

Unfortunately, they still make these "gaming fun multipack" things. Last year, my mom knew I had a 3ds, and she got me a kit with some cases, a dodgy car charger, a pair of headphones (that are probably made of tin foil and slave labor), a cleaning cloth, and a little bag. The charger sounds like jiffy pop.
It's the thought that counts though, right?
Back in the day, I would have loved that CD. So many good demos and a hilarious GUI to boot? That's 90s nerd heaven right there.
Seriously, do a collab with Vinny (from Vinesauce) on this. He has loads of videos of cheapo plug-and-play systems and this seems like it would be right up his alley. :P
I feel like Vinny just kinda wants to laugh at stuff, I doubt he'd be interested in the technical aspects
rzeka But it might be kinda' fun to have the tech geek and the comedian work together, no? It could be a really fun mix!
:D - And, as always, thank you for MAKING LGR, Clint!
Stuart, where's your brown sofa?
Oh Magic Desk. That GUI brings back so many memories of 3.1 Windows computer. As a kid we had Magic Desk for dos games and then would have to boot into window 3.1
those typos were mostly to try and avoid copyright I think. As a lot of these discs or at least three that I have have full games on them.
Quite a good video here. Always love seeing the random games they just mash together with next to no quality control.
Can you do a video on the icons you've made?
Great video, Clint! Please don't hesitate to do more like this in the future!!
You had me at boobs. ..
I remember seeing the boobs icon somewhere among stock Windows 3.x icon compilations. Never expected that it will be used for Jill of the Jungle in a commercial product LMAO
Westwurtzly Yeah I remember seeing those too, perhaps I was of an age that even pixel boobs were memorable..
Cool video! I enjoyed the spontaneous 'let's look at this stuff together' vibe.
plot twist it was $50
Quickshot, the starter joystick for every new pc gamer. Cheap, does the job for a while. The golden qc passed sticker... a must have😃
This is legit. It came pre-loaded on my Sorny Baio
Awesome video, took me back a few years. I remember modding some joysticks to perform better back in the day..

Wonder if they are still in business? ^_^
Not under that name, no
My dad gave me this cd to play when I was growing up. I played that Spider-Man game all the time. This episode was epically nostalgic.
That has to be the WORST CDROM installer EVER....
Your framing is really nice at your workstation. Great use of the reflection.
"joystick" with suction cups..... >:)
SUCCtion
Oh no
You _better_ not shove it up your ass.
Ah, not having a 386 or 486 anymore these videos are just wonderful. DOSBox just doesn't cut it. I need the smell, the sounds! Admittedly, I only get 50% of those via TH-cam, but you get what I mean I'm sure.
