Taking a look at the Sanyo ICC-82D, aka the Dictaphone 1680. The smallest portable electronic calculator with built-in display on the market in 1971! And one of the first hand-holdable battery powered calculators, period. It wasn’t cheap either, costing $495 in ’71 – roughly $3500 with inflation! ● LGR links:https://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviewshttps://www.twitter.com/LazyGameReviewshttps://www.facebook.com/LazyGameReviews ● All background music licensed…

Unboxing, inspecting, and testing two old Packard Bell PCs from the late 80s that need restoring! I imported these VX88 and PB500 Turbo XT PCs from Canada a while back and they each need some repair and testing. So let’s do it! Or, as much as I can in the scope of this video anyway….

Unboxing and testing more of these weird old mice with a Windows XP PC! Checking out the CVS Pharmacy Golf Ball Mouse, the Tastykake Butterscotch Krimpet Mouse, and the Mus 3 Optical Arrow Cursor Mouse. All from the mid 2000s to early 2010s and all kinds of gimmicky Oddware. ● LGR links:https://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviewshttps://www.twitter.com/LazyGameReviewshttps://www.facebook.com/LazyGameReviews ● All background…

Unboxing and testing a new old stock Record-a-Call Model 675 from 40 years ago! A woodgrain-clad answering machine that uses full-size compact cassette tapes to record messages, which I’ve paired with a lovely 1979 Deco-Tel Chest Phone. Let’s try it out with an XLink Bluetooth adapter on a modern VoIP service! ● LGR links:https://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviewshttps://www.twitter.com/LazyGameReviewshttps://www.facebook.com/LazyGameReviews ●…

Checking out some of the usual thrift stores in my area and seeing what kind of retro tech and random old oddities I can find. I’ve recently moved but thankfully there are still some of my favorite stores within driving distance. Let’s go thrifting! ● LGR links:https://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviewshttps://www.twitter.com/LazyGameReviewshttps://www.facebook.com/LazyGameReviews ● Tracks used in order of appearance:“Branches”, “Mining…

I’ve been moving and that means getting stuff outta storage and bringing it to the new house. Which inspired this quickly-made video! This is the first time I’ve had all of my Apple 2 machines out at the same time and I ended up getting excited enough to whip out the camera and begin talking…

I’m moving! The future is looking bright but also somewhat unknown, at least for the moment. Just wanted to let you know there are a lotta things being done to make LGR a better show than ever, so I hope you stay tuned 🙂 ● LGR links:https://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviewshttps://www.twitter.com/LazyGameReviewshttps://www.facebook.com/LazyGameReviews ● Background music licensed from:http://www.epidemicsound.com

Checking out this weird little Plawa arrow key joystick add-on for PC keyboards. It’s a deceptively complex contraption from the 90s that clips onto your cursor keys and converts it into a mini joystick! Even better if you attach it to a mechanical keyboard, since you get that nice clicky feel. ● LGR links:https://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviewshttps://www.twitter.com/LazyGameReviewshttps://www.facebook.com/LazyGameReviews ●…

Opening up and testing out a Japanese Sony Vaio PCG-777 BP laptop! Costing the equivalent of between $2K-$3,000 in 1999, it’s an A4 file-sized notebook PC with a 266MHz Pentium MMX, 64MB RAM, 4GB hard drive, and modular floppy and CD-ROM drives. Checking out its bundled software and trying out some games for DOS and…

First LGR donations unboxing for 2022, and perhaps the last one in this space before I move! Opening up tons of vintage hardware, software, oddware, computer games, and retro technology. Massive thanks to everyone who contributed — and also made offers to do so! ● LGR links:https://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviewshttps://www.twitter.com/LazyGameReviewshttps://www.facebook.com/LazyGameReviews ● Pertinent linkage to things in the video:https://amroukithkin.bandcamp.com/https://www.vinyl-digital.com/http://auralpleasurerecords.com/https://www.youtube.com/c/thenewretroshowhttps://www.youtube.com/c/DeckardGames…
