Unreal Tournament can now be played IN A BROWSER

Along with other late 90s PC FPS classics but yeah. UT99 in a browser window... just fantastic. Thanks to the r/LGR subreddit for letting me know about it!
Congrats Clint- here’s to bigger and better things ahead!

So ready to say goodbye to storage units after renting for ten years 😩
Back in my home and back to LGR! And we gotta kick it off with copious woodgrain:

Taking a look at the Mitsubishi Oberhofer Edition monitor, a 15-inch LCD from 1999 encased in a glossy walnut burl intended to fit in with fancy 90s executive decor. And originally costing $1800!
New LGR travel vlog! youtu.be/yIwXQicYClw
This is the Knobcon and Vintage Computer Festival Midwest experience! At least as it was for me in 2025. Driving from NC to Illinois, enjoying Chicago, lots of wandering the events themselves, having great food, hanging with YouTubery friends and much more!
Fantastic to hear, Clint! Welcome back home!

This odd 90s thing is the Datadesk Trackboard. No wait, it's a LittleFingers trackball board? Both are similar yet VERY different! Diving down a computery rabbit hole here, plus testing the keyboards on a Windows 9x PC with typing and gaming.
The Space Journey pinball machine from Epic MegaGames' Epic Pinball is shown. The player has a score of 1,175,000 points and is on Ball 2. There is only one player. The pinball machine has a standard pinball machine layout.
I'm currently starting my day off playing through some tables of Epic Pinball from 1993. What DOS games are y'all playing today?

Game: Epic Pinball (Digital Extremes, published by Epic Megagames, 1993)
In the composite image, the remnant resembles a wispy cloud in oranges, blues, purples, and whites, shaped like a backwards letter C. The 3D model examines this cloud of interstellar material interacting with the superheated, supernova blast wave. In the 3D model, the Cygnus Loop resembles a bowl with a thick base, and a wedge cut from the side like a slice of pie. The sides of the bowl are rendered in swirled blues and greens. However, inside the thick base, revealed by the wedge-shaped cut, are streaks of red and orange. Surrounding the shape are roughly parallel thin red strands, which extend beyond the top and bottom of the digital model.
a STUNNING composite 3d model of the cygnus loop supernova remnant using x-ray and optical data!!! 🌌

This 1995 MS-DOS update to the 1985 Apple II edutainment game has you traveling from state to state in an 18-wheeler truck, picking up and delivering commodities at 90mph. Don't forget to wear a seatbelt! And maybe body armor.

New LGR!

I missed out on Tamagotchi in the 90s but I sure remember the hype. So when I came across a Windows 95 CD-ROM version my curiosity got the better of me
Let's get into some history and context with the electronic keychain toys, plus the gameplay of the 1997 PC version
Revisiting the Intel Atom Windows XP Netbook!

Specifically looking at the HP Mini 1000, one of the more popular from the short-lived netbook era. If you could even call it an era. So join me as I review the system I had back in 2009 and put it through its paces 16 years later!
This is a highly detailed composite image of a star-forming region of space known as 30 Doradus, shaped like a bouquet, or a maple leaf. X-ray wind and gas takes the shape of a massive purple and pink bouquet with an extended central flower, or perhaps a leaf from a maple tree. The hazy, mottled shape occupies much of the image, positioned just to our left of center, tilted slightly to our left. Inside the purple and pink gas and wind cloud are red and orange veins, and pockets of bright white light. The red and orange veins represent energy ejected by supernovas, carried on cosmically strong winds. The pockets of white light represent clusters of young stars. One cluster at the heart of 30 Doradus houses the most massive stars astronomers have ever found. The hazy purple and pink bouquet is surrounded by glowing dots of green, white, orange, and red.

The Sims 1 & 2 Legacy Collection Review on LGR!
youtu.be/ZUDt4BoMg-s
EA re-released the first two Sims games for PCs to mark the 25th birthday of the series. And they fixed them to work on modern PCs! Kinda. Sorta. Ehh, an attempt was made. Still happy to see these exist though, so let's dive in!
Old pc and games like red alertz wow, and duablo
It was a specific era of gaming that I greatly enjoyed as a middle schooler

13.01.2025 23:57 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I honestly think that the banana is Gros Michel, because the banana is facing the left. Cavendish is a right facing banana. I think the Barnes and Noble Card is the “loyalty card” joker, and as a result, would net you a Three of a Kind hand worth 63x123, or 7,749 chips.

A glowing portion of a galaxy is seen at the left of the image, with a bridge of cosmic material including bright blue stars and dark brown dust extending to the right.
A pair of small, interacting galaxies shine in this new NASA Hubble Space Telescope image. The larger of the two galaxies is named NGC 5410. It spans 80,000 light-years across and has a bright white bar of stars at its center. It is also a spiral galaxy with a medium-sized nucleus and spread-out arms. NGC 5410 contains many young, blue star clusters, especially along its arms. The smaller of the two galaxies is called UGC 8932 or PGC 49896 and has a diameter of 60,000 light-years. It has a bright blue bar of stars at its core, indicating that it contains younger stars. Its shape is irregular, likely due to distortions from NGC 5410’s gravitational pull.
A galaxy laced through with dark brown dust is viewed edge-on, shining against black space dotted with more distant galaxies. The central galaxy has a hazy bridge of faint stars extending down through the bottom of the image.
Arp 300 consists of two interacting galaxies, UGC 05028 (the smaller face-on spiral galaxy) and UGC 05029 (the larger face-on spiral). Likely due to its gravitational dance with its larger partner, UGC 05028 has an asymmetric, irregular structure, which is not as visible from ground-based telescopes but is quite distinct here. The bright knot visible to the southeast of the center of UGC 05028 may be the remnant of another small galaxy that is in the process of merging with that galaxy. UGC 05029 has a pronounced spiral structure and multiple hot, blue giant stars visible on the side facing UGC 05028. Another edge-on spiral galaxy is visible in this image below UGC 05029 but is too faint to be resolved into star-forming regions, while the five objects strung out above it are probably a group of distant background galaxies.

I was playing Black Ops 6 Zombies and I heard Sev say a line about the Battle of Agincourt- was that line pre-written or done improv in the vocal booth? I love the voice lines of Sev in Zombies- it really fits the theme.
