One reason you receive so many donations is, because people realize your videos are made with love. You don't find this too much on RUclips these days anymore.
I was actually going to send him one and he gave me his address to send it but last month he said he was starting to reject things and he didnt seem too interested in it at the time so I didnt want to piss him off and send it to him anyway.
ha, ha, I think your right, I think david actually said in an earlier video that it never failed that whenever he said that after he put up a video saying that he didn't have a specific item that he'd get it. XD
Hence this month being Intellivision month. I specifically DIDN'T offer any of mine, knowing he'd get plenty from others. But hey, David, if you want some more games, let me know, I don't have the boxes, but I have nearly every Intellivision game ever made.
After getting some new-old stock e-reader packs, I can confirm that they are very touchy; I've never been unable to get any of my cards to work, but I don't think I've ever been able to do them all in one go without having to rescan some
Bank I worked at for my first job used that hand scanner (PC version) for scanning signatures. Yeah... I got to do all of that since I was the no-experience low guy on the totem pole. The scanner works, but you gotta go sloooow.
The last time I used a hand scanner was 1993. Man those were the days and it took a dab of skill to get good scans as the wheels on some scanners slipped like mad and you needed to use something like a few layers of duct tape to get the wheels to grip, if they were plastic, so we used to make duct tape frames or tracks to help.
That Numbers Fun cartridge is for the Teachatron computer. I THINK it may have been a J.C. Penney exclusive item, but I could be wrong. I remember our elementary school had one. It was just a kids learning computer from what I remember.
6:43, the system changer to play Atari games on the intellivision... Imagine that in 2017, play Xbox one games on a PS4.... Not a chance! David, you HAVE to do a review on that thing! I've only ever heard of them, never seen one in action. BTW, great video's! Thanks!!
Thanks for the concise and interesting video, @8BitGuy. We appreciate that these donation unboxing videos haven't turned into a 2 hour affair as seen elsewhere on RUclips.
"I already had two Teddy Ruxpins, but neither one work and apparently this one doesn't either. But between the three of them hopefully I can make one work." Omg David are you addicted to collecting broken Teddy Ruxpins??
He made it clear the goal is restoring at least one to working condition. I've seen how common it is to find them in non-working condition, apparently I got lucky with one that only needed a minor adjustment to the cassette player and works 100%. Definitely looking forward to his episode on Teddy Ruxpin. Seemingly no one has gone into depth on how it works, other than the basics (stereo cassette tape, but one of the tracks contains time-coded pulses instead of audio that control three servo motors for eyes, snout, and mouth).
Beyond that, even. If you had Grubby connected by the cable, audio would switch over to him when he was talking. Rather complex stuff for the analog days. :-) Which is probably a big part of why they are always broken! (The other being: Kids.)
Grubby has the same functionality as Teddy but minus the cassette player. When connected it gives the illusion that they are carrying out a conversation. Must've been an engineering feat in itself to route the audio and animation signals through Grubby at the right times, which makes it a shame that most people back in the day didn't bother to get Grubby (Teddy by itself was already an expensive toy).
If he does a video on that, then I hope he talks about RGB and/or Composite modding the system as well, since frankly the RF signal on the PC Engine is dreadful.
I'm really surprised about the people who don't care about money and make donations to you. In my country doesn't exists that at all! This is a good channel. Love your restoration vids! Greetings from Argentina.
An Intellivision with all the accessories was a ridiculous device. Intellivoice, System Changer, Computer Keyboard, Music Keyboard, and even the cable TV 'game downloader'! What's particularly funny is that some accessories were only released styled like the original (dark brown and woodgrain) release, where others were only styled like the Intellivision II (white plastic) release.
The Commodore PET video was excellent, so I'm glad he's taking his time with the VIC-20 video, as there's a lot more ground to cover with that machine. It will all be worth it when the video is finally done.
ol' Ruxpin and friends always make me think of the later 2XL, which I grew up with. It was my first exposure to the fact that tapes had multiple tracks
Always fun to watch these! I say if people give you extras or things you did not want or will never use then sell or trade to better your 8-Bit Guy Vlog! Thanks for all you do!
VIC-20 was my first computer when I was a kid in Brazil! I can't wait to see the episode! I was 12 when a colleague of my father from IBM came at my home with a mysterious black wallet, inside it was the vic-20 with a couple of cartridges (Radar Rat Race and Sargon Chess), the tape drive and the manuals. That was mind blowing for me, I learned basic (and rudimentary english) with the VIC-20 programmers guide.
Xalataf Well, like he said, he’s turning down nearly all of the offers because he doesn’t have any space to put them in. I was actually considering sending him some shelves to solve this.
Good luck finding an e-Reader. It was a colossal flop. It sputtered out in Nippon, died early in the US, and never came out in the EU. Basically, it was Amiibo, but it didn't work. Mainly as those little dot codes could only carry as many as those dots were, which was some tiny capacity. (2.1 kilobytes.)
We have that exact same compaq portable in the back room of my high schools computer repair room. It posts but the hard drive doesnt work so it cant boot and I dont have ms dos on 5 1/4 inch floppies. I cant wait to see the restoration since I have been working on mine for the last year.
The Teddy Ruxpin and Grubby look fantastic! i had a knock off teddy when i as little, he didn't work either and i had to manually operate his mouth. Looking forward to the video with those two
I'm looking forward to that restoration of the computer you received this month. Also that episode on the vintage animatronics will be really interesting too. :)
In the 486 days I had a hand scanner that looked practically identical to the one you got although mine was branded “Easy Options by IBM” and hooked up to an ISA card installed in a PC. I guess some company manufactured these with different interface adapters and branding for different types of computers.
I remember in elementary school, in the early/mid 80's, we'd have a classroom full of Atari 800/800xl computers. I always tried to get the seat at an XL model because it looked so much more modern.
Wow, that compaq looked awesome!! Never, ever seen an 86 like that, only the Commodore. I would really like to find one of those, a retromod would be awesome on that! Imagine the batteries and sshd you could fit in there.
Can't wait for the Compaq Portable restoration video. I have one sitting next to some CGA monitors, that could use some restoration, as well (although not as badly) and it'll be great to be able to see the process (and potentially what not to do) beforehand. They really are neat machines. (mine is a Portable III, for the record)
Looking forward to the VIC-Twenty episode. That GBA game with a worn label looks to me like one of the Final Fantasy games, maybe it could be Final Fantasy IV (the most expensive of the five GBA FF releases). You also got a copy of Pokémon Ruby, a really fun game.
I used to have that old Compaq! Really liked it a lot. If I'm not mistaken, it was a monochrome PLASMA screen! Actually really nice looking in all its amber glory.
I really like seeing the cases for older tech. Partially because I remember those things from when I was a young'n, so... nostalgia. Partially because I can see here something that I did not notice when I was living through it the first time. Before there were the "standards" or cultural norms that manufacturers today tend to follow, every manufacturer was trying to invent (from scratch) the look and feel of a user interface and product integration that they each hoped would become a great hit with the buying public. From placement of connectors and speaker grilles, to keyboard layouts and rounded edges, just about every variety of feature has been tried at some point, with varying degrees of success. Some features caught on and some didn't, but most tried to be creative and these companies usually had NO ergonomics data to back up their designs. (In hindsight, it is painfully obvious in some cases.) When it takes place in real time over 20-30 years, you just don't see it, but with the wide variety of electronic products presented on this channel, it becomes more obvious. You have shown us the winners, the losers and the also-rans. This is a wonderful perspective on design aesthetics. Thank you, sir.
People didn't hold onto the boxes for Intellivision games, as well as other consoles of the day, because of the desire for the "home entertainment system" so they'd have racks or shelves with slots for the games somewhere in the room with the system. Everyone I knew who had these systems either kept the games this way or just in a bin. People liked having a game library so they could see all the games without having to open anything to play them.
An amazing thing about the Macintosh is that AFP is still supported with minimal hassle. You can connect to a classic afp server from a modern computer, and there is FOSS software that you can use to set up a share that a classic OS can connect to. The widest gap I’ve ever done was from 7.2 to 10.5. I wonder if you can reach back all the way to the pre 6 days.
My dad used to have one of those hand scanners, but it was for the PC. I guess there isn't much they needed to change in the design, but that was neat to see :D The extra stamps were most likely for extra postage. If your weight is incorrect, they'll let you buy extra postage to make up the difference. It's neat they let you do that.
WOW The Intellivision brought back memories. I remember looking at one with my dad when I was a kid. We saw it at some home exhibition. We had a demo of it and I remember some football game that looked really good (compared to other games of the period). We never got one :(
The appliance store I worked at back in the 80’s and early 90’s carried the TurboGrafx-16. it was a very cool system for the time. It’s still had an 8-bit processor, but had 16-bit graphics. The PC Engine was outselling the original NES in Japan. Had they run a TV commercial or two in the US, it might’ve done well against it here, too.
I remember having only one friend who even owned a TurboGrafx-16. Actually, something else that really hampered its sales in the U.S. was its lack of support from third-party developers. As a result, most of the games that were available for it were localizations of games better suited for the Japanese market.
Lol I just realized Ive watched all this time and you have the same name as a friend I grew up with in TN in the 80s. And I started out on MSDOS 6.1 or 6.22. I loved DOS so much. Big gamer .
TurboGraphix rocked. II still have the console and the handheld with the TV Tuner. I think I have about 80% of the original cartridges. I should have kept the boxes. Love your donation videos. Keep broadcasting!!
Cool stuff :) September was Intellivision month for me too as I bought my first Intellivision ever. It's the same Mk1 model you received. Mine is from 1981 according to the seller. Got also 9 games for it and all of them have those controller overlays and almost all have even the instruction manuals with them. Some of the overlays are quite worn out though. All games do work so that's nice, no repairs needed, just some cleaning, especially the controller. Got the inspiration to buy this retro videogame console by watching your channel and other similar channels but of course I sort of had this "bug" already as I still have my Amiga 500. Have had it since new though and haven't bought any used videogame consoles or other vintage electronic devices before so in that way the Intellivision is the first of it's kind for me. Looking forward to see the Vic-20 episode :)
I still have an e-Reader and some of those cards. I even have some e-Reader Pokemon cards. Despite its failure, I really enjoyed scanning cards with it back in the day. It was interesting to me that entire games were stored as a code on the cards.
I wish I still had stuff from when I was a kid. I had an Atari 2600 with several dozen games. An original nintendo with maybe 60 games, and a very weird "education" video games system that was called "Socrates." And my parents gave all of it away. I half wish I still had it for nostalgia sake, and half wish I had it so I could have donated something. Speaking of it though, I haven't thought of the thing in ages, but the Socrates was actually a fairly nifty little system. I hope you do an episode on that one day.
I can't wait for that old Compaq to come back to life on video. It looked so beat up.
Heck yeah, that thing is super cool.
I also am looking forward to that episode. I used that type of computer growing up all the time.
+Michael Haywood Nice.
100th like!
I really love his restoration videos

Watch As He Gets Sent 20 E-Readers Next Month
He IS NOT getting mine!
I was actually going to send him one and he gave me his address to send it but last month he said he was starting to reject things and he didnt seem too interested in it at the time so I didnt want to piss him off and send it to him anyway.
I look forward to it.

Ah that second GBA game was Wario Land 4 one of my favorites as a kid!
That’s my greatest achievement
"I accepted this donation even though I already had two Teddy Ruxpins"
David, you're turning into an old Teddy Ruxpin lady..
I actually kinda died when the Teddy Ruxpin was "dead"!
A little tip with the E-Reader, The cards are VERY hard to scan.
You gotta get the speed _juuuust riiight._ I need to find me some e-Reader cards.
After getting some new-old stock e-reader packs, I can confirm that they are very touchy; I've never been unable to get any of my cards to work, but I don't think I've ever been able to do them all in one go without having to rescan some

jh77sly how much slow? 1cm per year?
LOL. Not quite that slow. More like 3-5 mm per second or something in neighborhood.
I remember those scanners. The one we had also had that DIN connector, but had a dedicated 8-bit card for the PC.
"present that to you in a few days..." *hype intensifies*
The hype is almost ripe.

I wish I still had one to make some wacky art with. Some of the scans would look bonkers.

Every old piece of hardware he gets means another great restoration video! Can't wait!

Thanks for the concise and interesting video, @8BitGuy. We appreciate that these donation unboxing videos haven't turned into a 2 hour affair as seen elsewhere on RUclips.
"I already had two Teddy Ruxpins, but neither one work and apparently this one doesn't either. But between the three of them hopefully I can make one work." Omg David are you addicted to collecting broken Teddy Ruxpins??
He got two last month in donations and they must both have been DOA
Even one is enough for it to spring to life and devour your soul.
He made it clear the goal is restoring at least one to working condition. I've seen how common it is to find them in non-working condition, apparently I got lucky with one that only needed a minor adjustment to the cassette player and works 100%.

As an 80s kid that owned a Teddy Ruxpin and several other animatronic toys I'm truly looking forward to that episode!
You really do deserve an award for being one of the best RUclipsrs in 2017 ;D
I agree Qoutsie.
Koutsie the best
Please restore that PC Engine...
If he does a video on that, then I hope he talks about RGB and/or Composite modding the system as well, since frankly the RF signal on the PC Engine is dreadful.
Please make your computers run Windows 10

ew, windows 10
get that smelly OS away from my screen
It'd be nice to see techniques for smoothing out melted plastic chunks

I never knew Intellivision had a 2600 adapter like Coleco did! Awesome!

What's particularly funny is that some accessories were only released styled like the original (dark brown and woodgrain) release, where others were only styled like the Intellivision II (white plastic) release.
Very cool donations, I can't wait for the video on the VIC-20. :)
Big score on the PC-Engine! I love that system! And it contains one of my favorite games- the F1 Circus games to boot. Well done! :D
The Atari 8-Bit game that dude sent, Eastern Front 1941, is EXCELLENT. It was made by the now legendary game developer/theorist Chris Crawford too.
BTW, I am happy to see this episode in full 1080p in it's all of it's retro glory.
Awesome to see these old things again!
The Commodore PET video was excellent, so I'm glad he's taking his time with the VIC-20 video, as there's a lot more ground to cover with that machine. It will all be worth it when the video is finally done.

"I don't have an e-Reader."
*November 2nd, turns down many e-Reader offers except one*
Xalataf Well, like he said, he’s turning down nearly all of the offers because he doesn’t have any space to put them in. I was actually considering sending him some shelves to solve this.

I want you to know that you're a god tier youtube channel
Love this retro channel. So much nostalgia. 👍🏼
7:25 Va-len-zway-la, like the pitcher for the Dodgers in the 1980s.
great teaser at the end. I still have my Vic-20, but can't wait to see what you dig out on it.
Good luck finding an e-Reader. It was a colossal flop. It sputtered out in Nippon, died early in the US, and never came out in the EU.
Basically, it was Amiibo, but it didn't work. Mainly as those little dot codes could only carry as many as those dots were, which was some tiny capacity. (2.1 kilobytes.)
We have that exact same compaq portable in the back room of my high schools computer repair room. It posts but the hard drive doesnt work so it cant boot and I dont have ms dos on 5 1/4 inch floppies. I cant wait to see the restoration since I have been working on mine for the last year.
The Teddy Ruxpin and Grubby look fantastic! i had a knock off teddy when i as little, he didn't work either and i had to manually operate his mouth. Looking forward to the video with those two
Was just thinking it seemed like a good day for an 8-Bit Guy release.
I'm looking forward to that restoration of the computer you received this month. Also that episode on the vintage animatronics will be really interesting too. :)
Really looking forward to the Vic-20 presentation. That was our first computer at home.
I really enjoyed this month's donation unboxing. Can't wait to see that e-reader!
In the 486 days I had a hand scanner that looked practically identical to the one you got although mine was branded “Easy Options by IBM” and hooked up to an ISA card installed in a PC. I guess some company manufactured these with different interface adapters and branding for different types of computers.
I remember in elementary school, in the early/mid 80's, we'd have a classroom full of Atari 800/800xl computers. I always tried to get the seat at an XL model because it looked so much more modern.

Wow, that compaq looked awesome!! Never, ever seen an 86 like that, only the Commodore. I would really like to find one of those, a retromod would be awesome on that! Imagine the batteries and sshd you could fit in there.
Great episode. Really look forward to the Vic-20 episode as well as the Compaq Portable restoration episode.
Can't wait for the Compaq Portable restoration video. I have one sitting next to some CGA monitors, that could use some restoration, as well (although not as badly) and it'll be great to be able to see the process (and potentially what not to do) beforehand.

"Yo listen up, here's a story
About a little guy that lives in a blue world..."
lol very blue intro. I do love your channel. Great work.
Looking forward to the VIC-Twenty episode.
That GBA game with a worn label looks to me like one of the Final Fantasy games, maybe it could be Final Fantasy IV (the most expensive of the five GBA FF releases).
You also got a copy of Pokémon Ruby, a really fun game.
I don't usually care about unboxing videos. You have become the sole exception...
I used to have that old Compaq! Really liked it a lot. If I'm not mistaken, it was a monochrome PLASMA screen! Actually really nice looking in all its amber glory.

The guy from 1:00 definitely works for Amazon. I've bought a few memory cards from them over the years.

I was drooling over the N64 games.
Those are some good ones and I still need Mario 64 in my collection.
Christmas comes often to The 8-Bit Guy :-) Thanks for the great content produced!
Ah the Zork games. As someone whose last name is Zorc, I always loved these guys.

Lots of great stuff there... the Intellivision Atari adapter lookes cool.
I remember playing Rocket Ranger on the Amiga. Came close, but never actually beat it. Good luck!
It's so funny how I was watching last month's 8-Bit Donations when my iPhone 6s notified me that this video had just been released! lol 😜
The Zork series games rocked! I loved Infocom games back in the day.
I love the Optima on those Missile Command and Star Raider cartridges.
My dad used to have one of those hand scanners, but it was for the PC. I guess there isn't much they needed to change in the design, but that was neat to see :D

Looking VERY much forward to your Vic episode ...my first computer!!!!
REALLY looking forward to the Vic-20 episode(s), glad it is taking you some time, that means quality! :D
I LOVE your restoration videos. Can you also do a video on Mini Disks? Those were really popular when I lived in Japan.
Your videos are like chocolate ice cream to me
I JUST CANT GET ENOUGH!!!!!
I still have an e-Reader and some of those cards. I even have some e-Reader Pokemon cards. Despite its failure, I really enjoyed scanning cards with it back in the day. It was interesting to me that entire games were stored as a code on the cards.
I would save the teddy video for Christmas time, it would be awesome to see it during the festivities, and show kids those toys.
I used to have an intellivision night stalker was one of my favorite games.
The second "unknown" GBA cartridge is Warioland 4. One of my favorite games for that system.
That PC-Engine needs some love.
I wish I still had stuff from when I was a kid. I had an Atari 2600 with several dozen games. An original nintendo with maybe 60 games, and a very weird "education" video games system that was called "Socrates."
And my parents gave all of it away. I half wish I still had it for nostalgia sake, and half wish I had it so I could have donated something.
Speaking of it though, I haven't thought of the thing in ages, but the Socrates was actually a fairly nifty little system. I hope you do an episode on that one day.
I look forward to seeing the restoration on that portable computer!
Huh... I have one of those old Compaq computers. Same plasma display and everything. I look forward to your restoration.
An old Compaq similar to that one is what I learned DOS on. They're great computers.
I had video withdraw David!!! I star watching your old videos..... again!
Ahh, the Compaq portable with the 1/3 height drive. The later DeskPros also had 1/3 height 3.5 inch floppy drives as well.
Those grubby's are rare! I used to have one as a kid, they were more expensive then the Teddy oddly enough, I guess thats why not many were sold.
Forgot Eastern Front ever existed - great game! I had it on tape though I believe for my 800XL and later 130XE.
