where do i go if i wanna send somthing?

I invented and manufactured The Claw in Australia! I was just sitting watching the video and a product that I made comes up!!! WOW!!! I would love to see it in oddware. Many of those Claw's were made in my home garage at the beginning. I made The Claw because I wanted to play better than my mates and I was crap using WASD on the keyboard! The claw was used for first person shooters. I made a prototype out of Clay and used it at LAN parties (remember those!), then a few mates wanted them. One thing led to another and I thought I would make them in my spare time. The first production run was made with all the money I had as a I was only 23 at the time. On the first launch night I sold so many that I had to stay home from my full time job the following day to build more. The demand was great and I was overjoyed. Then I had so many orders that I employed staff to work in my garage at home. When that was not enough the Claw was manufactured in China and I made many 1,000's of them. It was a product I was very proud of. It funded me to travel to E3 a few times and I really enjoyed buying all my gaming gear as a business expense!! It was a lot of fun and taught me a lot about running a business. The one shown in the video is one of the first PS/2 versions and I would have assembled it myself in my garage at home :) Version 2 had USB. Version 3 had USB and 10 buttons instead of 9. The claw was discontinued on the 10th of March 2011 as the market was changing and freight was really expensive (when I started I could send one from Australia to the USA with DHL air for USD9.00!). Thanks for the great memories, life has moved on and I had not thought of the Claw for a while. I will show my kids this video and they will probably not get it! www.claw.com.au/

Why do I love watching people open their mail?

A very Dope Auto Focus video, thanks Clint.

The Space Saver keyboard looks like something you'd see glued to a wall in a cheap sc-fi flick from the early 80s. Which is awesome.

Was in a car crash earlier today. Car got wrecked, body aches. But watching an LGR video helped ease that. Thank you, sir :)

I can't explain it, but I *REALLY* want to see a review of "Chemical Spillage Simulator..."

Clint, I think we need a review on Chemical Spillage Simulation.

"Highscreen" was the whitelabel brand vom a company called "vobis". They was big in businnes in the 90 and early 00. They even sold the first mainstream OS2 computer in germany.

These videos and the thrift ones are top notch

Good Lord, why do I always get reminded that The Saddle Club even exists.

Man, the stuff you get - equal parts jealous and in awe, love watching these videos! Some of the things truly are museum pieces!

It's always fun watching these, and I've no idea why? It's kind of like watching someone else open their Christmas, but not getting any yourself. I guess, it just brings back memories of either having them, drooling over them in shops/magazines, or things you never even knew of, or have just plain forgotten about! Thanks again for the interesting videos!

LGR you are the best and have taught me an enturely new part of the retro gaming scene that i would have never looked into before. thank you.

Droolin' on that Wizards game!

You're such a kind, humble guy. One of my go to channels.

Brilliant editing in this one. Probably the most entertaining unboxing video I've seen.

Okay I HAD to comment. My jaw dropped when you got the Saddle Club Willowbrook Stables game, because that’s a game I got wayyyy back in elementary school through Scholastic Book catalogs (I grew up in the PNW so it definitely was in the US haha). I owned 2 copies of the game for some reason, neither in big box (though one was in a jewel case and the other a DVD case). Game is interesting, I never finished it because the graphics were low enough that I kept getting confused with a puzzle later on, and there is some repetition to the tasks, but it’s a cool game, and was my first “open world explore on horseback” game and I would play it for HOURS. May have some compatibility issues on anything newer than an XP, so keep that in mind if you ever play. But I strongly recommend giving it a go. It’s a silly horse game for girls but dude, I played a LOT of those as a kid and this one was up there as a favorite. Otherwise I wouldn’t have installed it a month ago on my current computer to play again, haha.

Thank you for videos like this, each stuff remembers me the "good old times", when a simple 32kbyte game makes gamer enthusiast, when each game comes with colorful package and bold manual. Today, a several GByte game doesn't make the same effect. Thanks a lot from Italy !!!

You rock Clint. Can’t wait to see you try some of this awesome stuff out. But you know who rocks even more than you? Your amazing fans who sent you this stuff. You guys are awesome and you deserve it Clint. Your channel is awesome. Ty!

I love watching these because you always get old tech that I grew up with. Helps fire up those ancient synapses!

That calculator looks like brutalism meets math. I dig it!

Really cool stuff this time! Some really beautiful and rare things, thanks for showing this!

Really cool that you keep the notes along with the submitted games. They become part of that game's journey, which could last for longer than you may realize.

saw you on Video Game years - your knowledge totally made it worth a binge watch

LGR you put me at a bit of a crossroads.I absolutely despise unboxing videos, but with you they are always something unique and interesting instead of "hey let me unbox this phone/monitor/whatever that is still in production and easily acquirable!"

oh man! This is why I love LGR, just seeing the boxes of iSpy and Just Grandma and me sent me back to my childhood! Thanks Clint! (Also as an Australian I lost it at the budgie smuggler part [also Saddle Club was HUGE in Australia! Chris Hemsworth was even on an episode as a kid])

I don't like unboxing but I find yours truly relaxing. The only unboxing videos I watch are yours, Clint. LGR is truly one of the best channel on youtube.

I really like how you appreciate en present the goodies people send you ;) Keep up the good work man! Greetings from Holland

Whoa, I just recently subbed to Retro Man Cave. He does make really interesting content. Highly recommended for lovers of retro computers. Really respect the guys out there trying to preserve computers and electronics.

That Elektronika MKU-1 calculator was made in the 6th month of 1991. If I'm not mistaken it was made at the Billur factory in Ganja, Azerbaijan which still produces point-of-sale hardware. Cheap casing is the result of the double-edged sword of perestroika.

Yes! Decades ago I had a copy of "Star Saga: Two", which I'd long since lost and forgotten the name of. For years I've been trying to figure out what it was called, but I could only remember it was sc-fi related and had a giant stack of books with it. Thanks for finally filling in this puzzle!

Great video. It's always fun seeing the variety of stuff people send you!

Every great artist will doubt his own work as shoddy or not great. This is the reason the art survives and flourishes. It is in the self-doubt of the artist that scrutiny towards perfection is born. Your work on this planet brings many faces joy and laughter on an extremely consistent basis when life itself can be very cold. You may have doubt but I believe its your real and raw nature that truly draws people in. I dont think thats something that could just disappear, do you?

Oh man, a hot coffee and a new LGR video. Making my Mondays easier.

Netstorm! I had some really good memories with that game as a kid. What an awesome gift, and yet another amazing video. Keep it up, man :)

I love this channel, i can just come and watch nice calm entertaining videos. Like why doesn't this channel have a million subs yet?

That gateway 2000! Love it! Nostalgia nerd is a pretty good channel btw. Good stuff Clint, thanks for the vids as always!

Seeing that horizontal gateway2000 computer sent me on the deepest of nostalgia trips. My first personal desktop was one of their BabyAT compatible builds that my uncle and I upgraded to its absolute limit and brought me joy despite being horribly outdated by the time I got it. It's actually a goal of mine to find another and retrofit the case for modern components for going to LAN parties like PDX.

Budgie smugglers- Ozzy slang for really tight swimming trunks or under pants.

Holy crap! Not more than a day after I asked if you needed wireless PCMCIA cards, you post this! Man, if I had only gone through my stuff much earlier. I gotta get on the ball if I'm gonna offload my wares on my favorite vintage computing KZfaqrs!

Really glad you enjoyed Castle of Dr. Brain! When I opened the box I was tickled to find the receipt from Electronics Boutique they kept in there.

Wow, those funky Tandy TRS-80 joysticks really brought me back lol. I had a pair with my TRS-80 Color Computer 2 back in the 80s.

I'm joining the group of people who wants to know more about Wizzardz and War lordz!

I totally heard "I've got a vulva of steel" not a bad tagline for a lady Duke spin-off game

That "Merker Test Drive" disk is oddware at it's finest. Nice one Mr. Wade, cracking find.

Clint, please do a video on that Wizardz game. I am so intrigued by it.

Um im joining the group of people wanting to see the wizzardz & war lordz game ! Please Clint :)

Completely jealous of Imaginarium. That's unobtainable. Epic stuff! Love the massive array of media that goes into that Gateway PC.

PLEASE DO A WINDOWS XP BUILD!

Imagine every day more and more stuff shows at your door. At first you would be : This is great! But then you realise you have no space or time for half of the things you already have, but MORE JUST KEEP COMING!!! AND THEY WONT STOP!

Don't know about anybody else, but I'd love to see videos on Swamp Gas, Chemical Spillage Simulator, Ford Merkur Test Drive and an Oddware on The Claw. Thanks for all the awesome videos, Clint! You help make Mondays and Fridays easier!

Holy crap that art book!! I bet I could name every game those masterful paintings represent!

I had one of those ultra racer for the PS2, played and finished Grand Turismo 3 using it! I love it!

Oh man that gateway computer is awesome! Amazing that they managed to cram that much stuff in to a desktop case, back then :)

It must be like Xmas every day !!! Great vid as always Clint 😁

Recently discovered your channel & I love it! Keep up the good work.

Dude both my parents had those VAIO's, those were the computers I grew up playing games on. Very cool :)

Incredible, last years ago, how the PC games (box, stuffs, books etc) was so cool!

That Gateway 2000 equipment brought back memories. My family's first PC was a Gateway 2000 and remember my brother and I played games on it.

Oh my god! I loved that Saddle Club game when I was a kid even though it ran like absolute ass on my eMachine and I eventually lost the disc. It's one of those games I keep thinking I should try to find again, so it was really funny to see you get it. And in such nice condition!

aww man you are so lucky. I have been drooling over that EXACT gateway 2000 ever since I got into dos games a few years ago but couldn't afford one. Literally exactly like that with the dual floppies and the cd drive.

I loved playing Star Saga 1 & 2 back in the day! It was basically a single-player RPG, set up a lot like solo gamebooks, and you really did need to consult all of those booklets as part of your interaction with the game.

I love this video. A lot of throw back. Awesome. A lot of goodies you opened, I was going like, ohhh I had that...oh that is what I wanted and so on....cool. Hopefully you kind of create a "museum" of these rare items. It might not be much at this point in time. However, soon they will be. "Just like asking a kid of the 2010 to rewind a CD, they don't know how" ;)"

Wow! Just caught up with this video after a few years with following LGR..... That Tandy TRS-80 brings back some memories!! At the little shop where I worked then back in the early 80's, we used to sell those computers, alongside the UK equvalent (almost): the Dragon 32..... back in their day, they were great machines, but hampered by the lack of graphics colours and resolution compared with the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, and C64. Unlike many, I liked the small, flat keyboard of this design... it always felt nice and 'clicky', and was very responsive. Those emergent years of home computers were fantastic times.... :-)

Those Buffalo wifi cards are amazing. Great reception on them and they also have an external connector for a bigger antenna.

Always watched your videos except for unboxing ones but was intregead one I saw the laptop in the picture, it was the first laptop I ever got and kept running and very productive for over 10 years, enjoy this Sony Vaio laptop is a nightmare to maintain but if it's running smoothly it's a joy to have.

I always feel pumped up anytime I see something Initial D related.

I love these videos :D

17:54 - I remember this game as a kid! I played this back in 1997 along with 'James Discovers Maths' and 'Thinkin Things Collection 1'.

As you unpacked Netstorm I immediately just HAD to search my copy of that absolutely great game. I loved in the childhood even though I found it so freaking hard that I never passed the first few levels after the tutorial. Let's see how far I will get this time.

Wow, the Star Saga series you got from Joshua is great. I have been wanting those for awhile! Nice!

Looking forward to two things. 1) the XP build you teased in this video, I know it will be awesome! 2) an episode on the VCR games. That is all new to me so I look forward to learning about those too!

I have that exact Sound Blaster Audigy! Thank you, I was stumped as to what model it was. I’m planning to use it in a 1990s retro build.

Incredible how relaxing the voice of Duke can be....

Holy cow that Atari poster art book is so cool! Super jealous! You have the best fans.

Please keep doing these videos man. Love em!

I have a sealed American box of Netstorm that I bought for collecting purposes. I first discovered this game on a typical "100 in 1" pirate Russian CD of the early 2000's, which was full of ancient PC games, mostly for DOS, but some for Win 95, and it was completely translated and voiced in Russian by pirates. It somehow became one of my favorite strategy games. Love the priests with their over dramatic phrases when they call upon the power of the elements. I'm surprised you never heard about this game before getting it sent to you. Definitely a quality game.

That Atari artbook looks fantastic. whoever made it did a great job

WOW NETSTORM! My god, if there ever was a forgotten game! That one right there is the best RTS ever made.

Yay! love unboxings from LGR!

Just for future reference Clint, the game 'Grandma and Me' was shown on an old episode of 'The Computer Chronicles'. Great video as always.

As I was watching this and the 'budgie smuggler" came up my budgie crapped on my head....

Dope auto focus. Haha I had a sensible chuckle. Thanks uncle Clint

Man, I love your videos!!!

So cool! Can't think of a better home

This made my day :-) thx LGR

That gateway looked pretty awesome.

It's Christmas every month when you're as cool as Clint.

Start a museum

I loved the Audigy soundcards,even had an extigy external soundcard for my laptop.

WIZZARDZ & WAR LORDZ is nowhere on the internet except for a copyright documentation.

Netstorm is an amazing game and there is even a community for it I loved playing it back in the day. For the storm!!!!

It's like watching someone elses birthday, and it's awesome!

Dope Auto-Focus XD

Neil! Do love retro man cave. And you Clint, love LGR more!!

Oh man I remember that DOS Mario port! I had a copy of it on my uncle's old Toshiba Tecra 8000 back in 2006/2007!

Haha! Dope man, glad it got there okay. Also, looks like this is mostly from UK (and Europe) episode! w00.

That Gateway 2000 desktop is a serious work of art.

I saw the I Spy: School Days thing, and got excited because I have that game! It's just in a cd case, not a big box, but I still thought it was cool to see that he has a copy in his collection now!
