For a reminder for the kids that weren't around back then. My 486DX2-66 had an early Soundblaster sound card that included the IDE controller for the CD-ROM drive, and the joystick port.
Reminds me of a 486 DX100 I had back in the day. I put it together from used components back when pentiums were current and got it for a song. I remember putting a Visa local bus card in there that I was literally just given for free out of a junk pile from a computer store when I asked if they had any. That thing could run primal rage and X-Men children of the atom beautifully not to mention Doom and monkey Island. It could even run quake at a reasonable frame rate. Though I don't think I got the full experience until I had a Pentium 166
Great video! Love seeing you try the games on different computers. Awesome pac man shirt
Hi Josh! That definitely reminded me of the old days when I had to fiddle with the driver locations like you did to get my device to work! It was always so satisfying to get it working after all the frustration. I would usually let out a big "WooHoo" after that!
Seriously the coolest intro on RUclips, watch for that alone!
These bot commenters are becoming harder and harder to distinguish. It’s only when they slip up like this where there is no real “intro” for this video that you can tell that it’s a bot. Such a plague on the internet
@@feelincrispy7053 I don’t know what you’re talking about but I am a real person that loves this and their other channels
@@feelincrispy7053 it’s hard because it is real! I’m a real person that loves all their channels
Sharing with my brother
So neat to check out! I like how you effortlessly set up the game consoles and I get confused just trying to use the Nintendo switch lol 😂
Nice job having a sense of humor about how difficult the game port set up is, I imagine that must be a pain waiting for it to work
Late to the Party. Another great vlog and interesting learning experience by Josh Nelson 👏👏👏. Thanks again for all your hard work Josh
Old laptops are so cool! Great video.
Awesome Josh! 😉👌🏼💙
Hi Josh! You always amaze me with the Tech you find. The butterfly keyboard, and now this. I've been in the IT industry for about 30 years, and never knew these existed. I guess "back in the day" I always played my games on a desktop with a joystick. I used to work for Mack Trucks WHQ and we had plenty of Toshiba Tecra's and Satellite Pro's for our mobile workforce, and I'm guessing they never needed a joystick port. Ha ha! Thanks again!!
That’s so awesome that you remember these machines! And yes, I love finding rare hardware like this!
Such a fun hobby!
Mostly reasonably orice...😂 very cool!
Great job, Josh! I enjoyed watching! 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is cool
Thanks to this video, I decided to get one of these for myself, and I can’t wait to try it out on my Libretto and other vintage laptops.
Nice! Have you found one yet? Good luck!
@@retrotv1tech I did! Shipping and all, I paid nearly $170 hahaha
@@retrotv1tech Not sure why my comment disappeared but yes I ordered one last night!
@@nyccollin that’s awesome! Sorry it disappeared. RUclips does weird things sometimes. Lol
@@retrotv1techNo problem I understand! I ended up paying around $168 total with shipping haha.
I have a Toshiba Satellite 440CDX running Windows 95. This might work on it if drivers are available.
Drivers are definitely available, they’re just tricky. Lol
Definitely heard of it, but I’m an old goober
I figured a few people may have heard of it. :-). Nice!
