Wow, thanks for reviewing our game! Brandon and I had a lot of fun making it with obvious inspiration from the real world of vintage computer collecting which you know all too well! When I first showed my wife the wife character in the game I wasn't sure how she'd take it, but all she said was "why is she a blonde?" My wife's a brunette :)
Oh, if only I had the room for more old computers....When I saw the "side of the road" part it reminded me of how some people will throw away their old computers, and local scrappers will grab them and strip the wires and case off so they can make maybe a buck or so. When I am on my walks I'll keep an eye out for these because I can usually restore them and, if I can't use it myself I'll sell it at nominal cost (much cheaper than the used computer guys though). Hell, I've found a 2009 HP quad-core tossed because it had been in a house fire and, because it had some soot on the case the owners thought it wasn't worth saving. I took it, cleaned it out and off, then used the restore partition to put it back to it's new-computer state. It's now in my refurbbed arcade cab.
In my husband's case, I didn't worry about his Doctor Who toy collection because I had my ethnic dolls. And my stamps. And my Soviet bloc book collection. And... Not all wives are collection widows (though sadly I'm an actual widow). Also I can relate about rain. I left one of my 40-50 year old dolls on the windowsill during the summer while it was warm enough to have the window open. I came home to the ink on the painted faces running because it had rained unexpectedly and got to the doll. I moved them to the inside sideboard rather than the windowsill and they are safe and dry. As a vintage collector I know things won't necessarily be in mint condition, but I'm damned if I'm going to be the one who damages them.
Oh boy this game made me smile a'lot, which was a really nice start for the day. Thanks for reviewing this game. The existence of this game made me really happy. Also I respect your collection VERY much, since I'm a collector myself. Seeing all those little clips of your computer & game collection feels awesome. It's like a museum of great classic PC gaming. Happy New Year 2015.
I'm with you; collecting vintage computers is fun.. and addicting. Right now I have a Commodore 64, Vic-20, Apple //e, and Macintosh Classic, and I'm trying to get my hands on an Atari 800. All of those were obtained in the past few months alone. For some reason I find it fascinating to learn about each one, their history, specs, software and accessories. Plus they have some great games (C64 especially) that I've never even known about until now.
Dude when my overdraft is not fucked into oblivion I will be heading straight for your patreon page. The sheer amount of content you have and continue to provide fills me with nerdy joy. The number of games I have seen on your channel that I could remember nothing but the playing experience from my childhood is ridiculous. Thanks to you I now have XAARGON! not the shareware either! Keep 'em coming bud!
This is so cool! I love vintage apple computers and I used to play Apple II games when I was little. Maybe I'll buy one some day. Also, I'm digging that Performa LC at the top right of your shelf. That model never gets any love.
This could apply to pretty much any collecting hobby. I do keyboards and fountain pens and both of these are extremely relatable to what happens in this game.
Wow, this is so incredibly meta and awesome in meta. I swear they made games like this on the Apple II back in the day. I just had recalled Arcade Boot Camp as an example.
Now that is my kinda of game. Its nice to see something different like this. I wouldn't mind seeing this expanded on in the future. Maybe a Thrift level or game where you have to drive to and from different thrift stores, fight off the crowds in the stores to get as many computer games and computer parts as you can find before the time runs out. Kind of a "LGR Thrifts: The Game" is the best way I can describe it.
The only game I ever played on an Apple was Prince of Persia for the Macintosh back in 1990-91. That was one heck of an epic experience! I loved that on the original Macintosh! ^_^
I'm not sure whats worse, not having met the old apple when they revolutionised computers and try to give value for money, or seeing them fall from that grace to a company that makes overpriced devices for hipsters, hypocrite activists, spoiled brats and attention seekers?
Timur Tripp you can have good build quality on a PC and though I can agree than the OS is optimised, that comes at the cost of expandability and cost, also I can't see how 5k resolution can be of any meaningful use.
I'm not sure I'd call the old apple computers 'Value for Money'...They were pretty overpriced in my opinion, compared to the likes of the Commodore 64, and later Amiga.
SavageArms357 The Apple ][ was released 5 years before the c64. It was also released before the Commodore Pet, TRS-80, Atari computer line and the IBM PC. It was the first affordable personal computer that wasn't in a kit form so no assembly or soldering required.
SavageArms357 The Apple ][ was released 5 years before the c64. It was also released before the Commodore Pet, TRS-80, Atari computer line and the IBM PC. It was the first affordable computer not in kit form so no assembly or soldering required.
I've also got tons of retro computers in my collection as well since that's what I mainly gamed on in 80's. I am definitely going to have to pick a copy of the game up, it looks amazing, yeah I said it amazing. Some of the first videos I did on RUclips were for my retro computer collection.
Hah, it's really cool to see Brian/Tanru Nomad's name on the game! Looks like he did a great job on it. (Kind of surprised it's not an Apple II GS game!)
I have this problem. A variation of it anyway. I only care about pre-built computers when it comes to Macintosh, because they didn't come any other way. Aside from my Mac Plus and G3 Outrigger, all of my retro computers are scratch built with no OEM parts. So of course none of them work properly. :) That's the way computers are meant to (somewhat) work!
I think any collector of anything would enjoy this game and can relate to it. I don't collect retro computers myself, but I do collect Transformers, so I definitely empathized and got a kick out of Retro Fever. In fact, my hobby's probably much more embarrassing.
I was in a local Best Buy the other day and they were doing a "E-Cycling" drive that had people putting piles of old tech in a corner by the service desk for what I can only assume was immanent deconstruction. I tried to talk one of the store Reps into letting me snag a monitor and an old IBM but he cited some "Technicality" and politely told me to scram. Spent the rest of the day bummed out.
Thanks for the review, pretty simple, but this game is kinda cool, but I'd like to see something bigger, going around a city, trying to build the best collection of games, wither retro, or more modern, but that's just me, having different locations, thrift stores, maybe pawn shops for more recent systems, garage sales for a lil' bit of both, and flea markets for mainly older systems and games, also online stores for buying online, nut they may arrive broken, or the seller could be scamming, I like the idea of balancing play time, work, and maybe add family issues, but that might be too much...
Dat intro... LGR where did you just come up from >o> I mean I like your channel a lot but that doesn't mean I want you to do THAT for me TOO . That said, that was a smooooth intro, you just slid into place like "oh hey, check this out"
I'm new to Apple II and I've been seeing these games in color but also I've seen Apple II computers that are only black and green? are these later models and not the original Apple II? I get confused cause for instance the game Wavy Navy says it's for Apple II (it doesn't say if it's II plus or IIe or anything) but when I look it up I just see the black and green one…
All Apple II computers had color graphics. The only thing that differs is the display you use, so if you use a green display you'll see green monochrome, and if you have a color one you'll see the full color graphics.
The Apple || can not only connect to a monitor but to a television as well, most early monitors built for the Apple || were monochrome at first but color monitors came later.
No way! LGR reviews old computers....well, I'll be damned. xD :P I heard level 1 is based on a true story. Level 1 would of been perfect if there was a picket sign that read "Beware of Resellers." heheh Great review. :)
Hey Clint, just curious, do you have a Spectrum +3? It wouldn't be at all a surprise given all the retro hardware you have on your shelves! Very impressive.
If you collect computers from "every part of the world", how come you don't have glorious Japanese computers like the Sharp X68000, NEC PC-9801, and Fujitsu FM Towns? What a disgrace to your title!
"from all the countries that I can get my hands on..." is what I said. As such, that implies I have not been able to get my hands on Japanese computers. Unless you count an MSX2 :)
Do you have any idea how hard some of those are to come by, not to mention ALL the bullshit you have to go through simply to get them to work? Power up steppers, down steppers, converters, importing monitors with the proper refresh rate, not to mention getting your hands on the actual hardware. You'd literally have to be rich to afford all the crap that comes with collecting computers outside of the States.
StrobeFlashLite Because emulation. Also fuck that shit, I'm not paying out the ass for an X68000 that I'd have to spend even more money to get running. Then you have to deal with maintenance on a system whose only available replacement parts are other USED AGED and OLD parts. Collecting and collectors baffle me. I recall owning a Turbografx 16, tons of addons, and about 40 Hucards at one point plus maybe 3 CD games. Sold all that years ago when I realized I could just emulate it all and get my hands on all them fine curvaceous Japanese import cd images.
Lazy Game Reviews On another note: since you've reviewed Silpheed and Zeliard on Tandy and DOS, why not both of Game Arts' Thexder games from Sierra? If you want more localized Japanese PC games, there's also Murder Club and Babylon from Kyodai, the former a detective adventure and the latter a Metroid-esque CRPG. Re: collecting Japanese computers, limiting the models you buy to simply Japan won't solve problems of shipping, cost, sellers' descriptions not matching what you receive, maintenance, different PSU specs, &c. And really playing these games the way their developers intended (at either a 15 or 21 kHz refresh rate) requires a CRT monitor! None of this includes costs for software and peripherals. I'd prefer that Clint show off a variety of machines 8- and 16-bit, ranging from something like a Sord M5 to a PC-9821, but getting it all together will take a while; do some coverage with your MSX in the meantime!
I am a collector of odds and ends, and a few old computers if i have the chance, old consoles and a lot of books, my prized possession is a 1878 Swedish Bible, it's in rather good condition but the cover was torn off :/

well, now that i copy and paste that we all know what it means.... and i defensively find that question obsolete by now... and with all the sources of information why not ask something potentially more constructive...
Seeing the (clichés about the) people the game is referencing, the woman should be "your mom" instead of "your wife", or at least it should give you the choice at the beginning. ;)
What if I like my computers to have dat yellowing? Do all computer recycling centers really sell(or whatever) retro computers? I am considering getting in to it and may have to find where to go for that in kc.
Do you have any DEC minicomputers, like a PDP-8, PDP-11, and/or VAX? Not really a home computer by any stretch of the term, but they are very nice machines. DEC also made "normal" microcomputers, but most of them were a bit... ehh. (VT-180; cute little CP/M machine crammed into a VT-100 terminal chassis... that cost way too damn much.)
Lazy Game Reviews Have you considered asking the classic computer mailing list(s) if anyone has one they'd be willing to part with (or lend for a video)? As to actually getting a DEC mini, that really depends on what you're interested in doing with the machine. There are quite a few games hanging around for the PDP-11 and the VAX (anyone up for some Adventure or Super Star Trek?), but really the main draw to a PDP-11 or VAX would be the historic interest (the '11 is where UNIX came to fruition, and VAX is where BSD grew up). As an aside, have you heard of the classic computer mailing lists? You might find them rather interesting, they talk about all sorts of stuff, be it micros, minis, mainframes, home computers...
I was lucky enough to buy a box with 3 ZX spectrums in, trouble is my modern TV won't tune in properly on there channels :-( Any how the game looks epic, I keep meaning to make a console wars RPG where you use consoles as weapons...literally. I might make that for the Spectrum and Mega CD since its so easy to distribute and play them on legit hardware
Subscribed. I'm not a fan of the way you talk, but what you talk about and the fact that you show as many details as you can is really nice, especially for someone who grew up only with computers
Wow, thanks for reviewing our game! Brandon and I had a lot of fun making it with obvious inspiration from the real world of vintage computer collecting which you know all too well!

You bet, I got a huge kick out of this! Haha, glad your wife didn't take much offense :P
Any chance of a ZX Spectrum port,?
Though a Commodore 64 or Acorn Electron port might be easier!
The animations in the Retro Fever is very poor, so why not hire a pixel animator
Great Work. Hilariously funny and a good sense of humor. : )
@@abdulazizalserhani28 Genious.
This is just wonderful, gotta love the people who are still making things for old school systems. that's some passion right there

My wife says "I want a version where you play the wife."
LMAO
There is no cure, only more computers! I love that!
Hmm, no thrift store level?
Likewise, although I got an IBM XT and a Kaypro 2 at a local Goodwill not long ago!
SHIT, IT WAS 99 CENTS
I never see computers at my thrift store.
Lazy Game Reviews A kaypro?!

That's the one :D It certainly is, I love the compatibility and the built-in floppy drive, it's a great Apple II gaming machine

Oh, I am absolutely ordering the disk version of this. Hell YES.
Is this the first video of the new year. Woohoo! Happy New Year LGR!
It is, happy new year!
For me its a boring new year.
eBay resellers are the worst, man. Even now, games that aren't that popular are cringe worthily overpriced. q_q
Your voice is gold , keep doing what you do.

oh my lord, this is glorious. what an awesome idea. i'm so getting this.
I like how you crawled out of the side of the screen, like some kinda weird animal all "hey, i like vintage shit"
Not too far off, we're a strange breed.
"No mature content"...this entire channel is based on immaturity, correct? Which is why I like it.
This is so great, Talk about a hitting the nail on the head, as far as your gaming taste goes. I'm happy for you :)
I think any collector of anything would enjoy this game and can relate to it. I don't collect retro computers myself, but I do collect Transformers, so I definitely empathized and got a kick out of Retro Fever. In fact, my hobby's probably much more embarrassing.
After watching Brians "Angry Wife" video I'm really glad my boyfriend is into the old tech as well... Guess I dodged a bullet on that one.
Fantastic video. Really enjoy the commentary.

that is the most original looking game I've seen in a while. Looks fun tbh.
Couldn't agree more. I have two Apple 2e platinum computers. I'm keen to get an apple 2c and a gs.
I half expected to see you outside running around with an umbrella.
This is made for a very specific audience. I think that's pretty cool.
I love this wave of neo-retroism
Great review man. This looks pretty fun to play. If you are a vintage computer collector never get married lol.
Happy new year! :]
Great video. Had no idea that you could still write code for these old pc.
Lazy Game Reviews That's a neat collection there.
The fun about collecting is when the product is so rare that it cannot be sold outside of a certain country. Now that is worth getting at.
This game is amazing that it exists.
Looks like a pretty solid game. Would definitely get if I had an Apple II.
Old PCs are the best PCs
(WEll not technically , but you know what I mean)
This is very cool.
Thanks for the video, dude.
Im not much into homebrew, but i like farmbrew, remotebrew, and offshorebrew :)
I'm amazed that this exists. But hey good way to "run" in the new year.

Did you do a homebrew game on the Apple II last year too??? I was having a bit of a Deja Vu moment there...
This game is what will happen to me when I get my own house.
What's the Lego box in the background? It looks like one of their robot kits judging from the images on the side.

Dude, awesome channel... every bit of interesting and very tolerable morbid humor... I'll be watching you... hehehe
and i'll be watching you, SchurkArts, hehehehehehe *slurp*
morbid humor? Do you even know what the word morbid means?
mor·bid
ˈmôrbəd/Submit
adjective
1.
characterized by or appealing to an abnormal and unhealthy interest in disturbing and unpleasant subjects, especially death and disease.
"he had long held a morbid fascination with the horrors of contemporary warfare"
synonyms: ghoulish, macabre, unhealthy, gruesome, unwholesome; More
antonyms: wholesome
2.
MEDICINE
of the nature of or indicative of disease.
"the treatment of morbid obesity"
SchurkArts He asked if you knew what it means not if you knew how to copy and paste o.O
well, now that i copy and paste that we all know what it means....
and i defensively find that question obsolete by now... and with all the sources of information why not ask something potentially more constructive...
Seeing the (clichés about the) people the game is referencing, the woman should be "your mom" instead of "your wife", or at least it should give you the choice at the beginning. ;)
This is brilliant!
Hey, I'm looking to get my first retro computer. You seem like a good person to ask, how should I go about that?
I'm really liking your channel and I've been watching it for some time now, but I've always wondered how/what you use to capture these old screens?
Various capture cards, in this case it was an Avermedia TV tuner card.
Lazy Game Reviews is the color bleeding a part of the game?
Gary Beebe Yes it is, as was the case with all Apple II games via composite video output!
Lazy Game Reviews Right, so it's not "written" to look that way, It's the hardware that does that, and you captured it in your video?
What if I like my computers to have dat yellowing?
Do all computer recycling centers really sell(or whatever) retro computers? I am considering getting in to it and may have to find where to go for that in kc.
Nice! They should make a Nintendo game like that and such only about console game collecting.
Do you have any DEC minicomputers, like a PDP-8, PDP-11, and/or VAX?
Not really a home computer by any stretch of the term, but they are very nice machines.
DEC also made "normal" microcomputers, but most of them were a bit... ehh. (VT-180; cute little CP/M machine crammed into a VT-100 terminal chassis... that cost way too damn much.)
I wish I did, but I've never come across any.

Have you considered asking the classic computer mailing list(s) if anyone has one they'd be willing to part with (or lend for a video)?
As to actually getting a DEC mini, that really depends on what you're interested in doing with the machine. There are quite a few games hanging around for the PDP-11 and the VAX (anyone up for some Adventure or Super Star Trek?), but really the main draw to a PDP-11 or VAX would be the historic interest (the '11 is where UNIX came to fruition, and VAX is where BSD grew up).
As an aside, have you heard of the classic computer mailing lists? You might find them rather interesting, they talk about all sorts of stuff, be it micros, minis, mainframes, home computers...
Ah Stock Jazz music. Gotta love it. No I mean it I love it ;p
Great game, short but it's ideal to show the challenges of the "hobby".
If you had to make one level has part of game, how would it being?
This game teaches me that computer collectors can move faster then light.
Great concept for a game :)
*forever alone*
I was lucky enough to buy a box with 3 ZX spectrums in, trouble is my modern TV won't tune in properly on there channels :-(
Any how the game looks epic, I keep meaning to make a console wars RPG where you use consoles as weapons...literally. I might make that for the Spectrum and Mega CD since its so easy to distribute and play them on legit hardware
Got any oddware episodes coming up soon I like all your stuff but the oddware is by far the best stuff on youtube ...
More Oddware is incoming.
Did you ever get working that Apple IMac you picked up on one of your thift trips?
Did you watch the whole video? Because I showed me using it at the end.
Subscribed. I'm not a fan of the way you talk, but what you talk about and the fact that you show as many details as you can is really nice, especially for someone who grew up only with computers
I want to get a copy of that game and run it on a Pravetz computer (Bulgarian Apple II clone).
You need to review the TI 99/4a
