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.

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. :-)

Highscreen used to be a computer brand distributed by the now defunct Vobis chain in Germany. During the early to mid 1990s, they partnered with a designer named Luigi Colani, who designed cases for Highscreen computers. We used to have one of those ourselves, a 486 one, probably a DX2 with 66 MHz, i don't remember the specs, but it was a huge ass tower case, with the later retrofit CD-ROM being a complete oddball. I didn't know Colani even designed the exterior of joysticks.

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?

Almost makes me want to start collecting old PC games. ALMOST. I lived through all of these eras in computing, from the 70's to today of course, and I'm always surprised that there are so many games from those years that I've never heard of. I always KNEW that our computers and games and things were basically crap at the time and looked forward to basically NOW. Young kids are really really spoiled! :) They have never even heard the term -HiMem-!

I love these unboxing videos of donations!
I have the Sony PlayStation (One) version of the InterAct steering wheel controller. I thought I would like it, but it's not as good as -real- steering wheel controllers like the ones from Logitech, etc. I know this video is almost a year old, but just FYI in case you haven't heard by now, the approximate pronunciation of Merkur according to Ford, is mare-koor (German for Mercury.

OMG! I STILL feel envious of people having a Gravis Ultrasound. even now in 2017. I could only afford a Soundblaster 16 around the same time when the GUS' were out, I guess subconsciously the bold red color of the board reminded me of Ferrari red and that having a GUS was kind of like having a Ferrari. inside your shabby PC. Ha ha. enjoy your newly-gotten GUS you lucky ber-stard! (ugh, when will the envy end)

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-; )-

Every time I watch one of these I half expect someone to send a box full of dead squirrels or something
also, you should do a review of eternam at some point. one of the most interesting games I ever played back in the early 90s but I never could find a non demo version
Or maybe one of windows elvis in space. that was a weird one
