1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,080
Yes sirree Bob, my friends.

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,560
In today's video, the young whippersnappers in our audience

3
00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:11,560
are gonna have a look at how the previous generation lived

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:12,760
because believe it or not,

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:17,490
we did have your mobile computers.

6
00:00:17,490 --> 00:00:21,230
It's just that to say that they weren't quite as sleek

7
00:00:21,230 --> 00:00:24,610
and sexy as a modern Ultrabook

8
00:00:24,610 --> 00:00:36,730
would be a gross understatement.

9
00:00:36,730 --> 00:00:41,230
So step one, I guess, is to get this puppy booted up.

10
00:00:41,230 --> 00:00:44,610
Now, this might not stand out to some of you,

11
00:00:44,610 --> 00:00:47,850
but one of the first things I noticed about this thing

12
00:00:47,850 --> 00:00:50,750
is the power cord.

13
00:00:50,750 --> 00:00:52,770
Fascinating, isn't it?

14
00:00:52,770 --> 00:00:55,350
It's just a normal power cord.

15
00:00:55,350 --> 00:00:58,370
There's no external power brick.

16
00:00:58,370 --> 00:01:02,010
This thing has an internal power supply.

17
00:01:02,010 --> 00:01:04,640
Are you kidding me?

18
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,280
All right, I'm gonna get this plugged in.

19
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:07,940
Now, Brian, the electrician,

20
00:01:07,940 --> 00:01:09,400
who I borrowed this thing from,

21
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,040
he's got like a tech museum in his basement, that guy.

22
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,700
He actually told me the battery on this thing does work,

23
00:01:15,700 --> 00:01:18,420
but lithium batteries don't age very well.

24
00:01:18,420 --> 00:01:20,720
So I'd be surprised if it stays on longer

25
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:21,560
than a couple minutes.

26
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,500
So we're gonna run off wall power here.

27
00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:25,880
This is like so exciting.

28
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,880
He also told me that he preloaded my favorite game on it,

29
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,130
which I don't remember talking to him

30
00:01:33,130 --> 00:01:34,610
about retro games at any point.

31
00:01:34,610 --> 00:01:37,680
So let's see what he put on here.

32
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:38,720
Wow.

33
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:43,910
Is that 80 megs of RAM?

34
00:01:43,910 --> 00:01:45,890
That's actually pretty respectable

35
00:01:45,890 --> 00:01:48,840
for a computer of this era.

36
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,800
I mean, it's not amazing, but it's okay, you know?

37
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,140
Windows 95.

38
00:01:56,140 --> 00:02:01,140
So that makes this thing significantly older than Jake.

39
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,760
Like we literally have people working here

40
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:14,650
who are younger than this laptop.

41
00:02:14,650 --> 00:02:19,170
I haven't heard that sound in so long.

42
00:02:19,170 --> 00:02:21,190
All right.

43
00:02:21,190 --> 00:02:22,350
So this is it.

44
00:02:22,350 --> 00:02:25,670
This is the desktop experience.

45
00:02:25,670 --> 00:02:27,150
Does it go any brighter?

46
00:02:27,150 --> 00:02:30,320
No, it does not.

47
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:31,160
Wow.

48
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,500
That is not a fantastic display.

49
00:02:33,500 --> 00:02:35,900
So I just wanted to check that RAM amount

50
00:02:35,900 --> 00:02:38,860
and I realized I don't actually remember

51
00:02:38,860 --> 00:02:41,500
how to access task manager in Windows 95.

52
00:02:41,500 --> 00:02:44,760
You can't just right click the task bar.

53
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,880
Monitors the system resources your programs are using.

54
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,980
Like any program, the resource meter uses system resources,

55
00:02:48,980 --> 00:02:50,100
when it's running.

56
00:02:50,100 --> 00:02:53,320
This may cause your computer to run more slowly.

57
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,060
Isn't that great?

58
00:02:55,060 --> 00:02:58,260
Back when we had like 100 megahertz CPUs,

59
00:02:58,260 --> 00:03:00,400
your computer would warn you

60
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,740
about opening up resource monitor

61
00:03:02,740 --> 00:03:05,800
because it could affect your resource consumption.

62
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:06,760
Wow.

63
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,040
That is a fairly rudimentary resource meter.

64
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,460
Well, your system resources, they're 86% free.

65
00:03:13,460 --> 00:03:16,300
As for your user resources, same thing.

66
00:03:16,300 --> 00:03:18,800
Why don't we try one of the other similar looking things?

67
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,420
Here.

68
00:03:20,420 --> 00:03:22,400
How about system monitor?

69
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:23,940
Okay, that's more like it.

70
00:03:23,940 --> 00:03:28,940
So we are using about 40 megs of RAM on what?

71
00:03:28,940 --> 00:03:30,640
We don't know.

72
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:32,680
I tried to two finger swipe to scroll

73
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,800
and all I did was move my icons around.

74
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,200
Just like, yeah, yeah, sure.

75
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:37,700
You know what?

76
00:03:37,700 --> 00:03:40,100
It gives you an appreciation for, you know,

77
00:03:40,100 --> 00:03:41,600
modern grid arrangements

78
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,260
and everything snapping into place, right?

79
00:03:44,260 --> 00:03:45,800
How big is our drive?

80
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,860
Wow.

81
00:03:47,860 --> 00:03:48,780
Four gigs.

82
00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:51,180
Fat 32 storage.

83
00:03:51,180 --> 00:03:52,480
Isn't that beautiful?

84
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,420
I mean, to put that in context,

85
00:03:54,420 --> 00:03:59,420
this Ultrabook has four times that in system memory.

86
00:03:59,740 --> 00:04:00,580
All right.

87
00:04:00,580 --> 00:04:01,420
So we're fired up.

88
00:04:01,420 --> 00:04:07,160
Let's get into what Brian thinks is my favorite game.

89
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,320
And actually, okay.

90
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,440
There's no way he would have guessed this,

91
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:16,440
but I actually played so many hours of 1602 AD

92
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:20,860
back when the only gaming computer I had was a Pentium,

93
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,000
the 90 desktop that I inherited from my uncle.

94
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:29,490
Is the sound on?

95
00:04:29,490 --> 00:04:31,310
If you don't happen to have something playing

96
00:04:31,310 --> 00:04:32,410
while you're making adjustments,

97
00:04:32,410 --> 00:04:39,530
you can press down for a test tone.

98
00:04:39,530 --> 00:04:40,830
I'm gonna need a mouse though,

99
00:04:40,830 --> 00:04:44,760
in order to play this game.

100
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:49,760
USB didn't come around until Windows 98 SE,

101
00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:53,080
if I recall correctly.

102
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,260
This laptop doesn't have USB.

103
00:04:55,260 --> 00:04:58,520
Actually, no, hold on.

104
00:04:58,520 --> 00:04:59,870
Okay.

105
00:04:59,870 --> 00:05:00,710
My pinky.

106
00:05:00,710 --> 00:05:02,370
So that's labeled mouse keyboard.

107
00:05:02,370 --> 00:05:03,370
That is a PS2 port.

108
00:05:03,370 --> 00:05:07,670
And I happen to have in my bag of wonders,

109
00:05:07,670 --> 00:05:15,300
a PS2 to USB adapter.

110
00:05:15,300 --> 00:05:20,120
I'm gonna have to go digging deeper into the bag of wonders

111
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,020
and see if I have a PS2 mouse.

112
00:05:22,020 --> 00:05:24,100
Okay, well, we didn't find a PS2 mouse,

113
00:05:24,100 --> 00:05:26,600
but I did find a ball mouse with USB.

114
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:32,420
So I am hoping that this will...

115
00:05:32,420 --> 00:05:33,800
Not bad.

116
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:34,640
Yes, my friends,

117
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,280
these were great for all sorts of things.

118
00:05:36,280 --> 00:05:38,960
Picking up all the dust off your desk

119
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,920
and putting it in one convenient place

120
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,600
to be picked off and disposed of later.

121
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,860
Throwing these nice heavy rubber balls

122
00:05:45,860 --> 00:05:47,200
at people you didn't like.

123
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:52,820
Oh man, got like hair and gunk wrapped around this.

124
00:05:52,820 --> 00:05:55,780
Before I settle in for my nostalgic gaming session though,

125
00:05:55,780 --> 00:05:58,160
actually, why don't we like take a closer look at this thing?

126
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:03,100
It's got some real problems compared to modern computers.

127
00:06:03,100 --> 00:06:07,540
These bezels take up like as much of the top of the unit

128
00:06:07,540 --> 00:06:08,900
as the freaking screen does.

129
00:06:08,900 --> 00:06:10,260
They're so big.

130
00:06:10,340 --> 00:06:12,880
This touch pad is abominable.

131
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:13,780
Though with that said,

132
00:06:13,780 --> 00:06:15,340
I do appreciate the inclusion

133
00:06:15,340 --> 00:06:18,380
of dedicated left and right clicks here.

134
00:06:18,380 --> 00:06:20,340
Speakers suck.

135
00:06:20,340 --> 00:06:23,300
And this thing is freaking heavy.

136
00:06:23,300 --> 00:06:26,040
Like it is, it is chunky.

137
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,160
Like you were carrying a briefcase if you had one of these,

138
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:34,160
but it has some advantages compared to modern devices.

139
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,120
So even though we weren't really able to plug in our,

140
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,820
you know, modern mouse to it very easily,

141
00:06:40,340 --> 00:06:42,100
it's still a pretty good thing.

142
00:06:42,100 --> 00:06:44,840
And the audio on this thing is substantial.

143
00:06:44,840 --> 00:06:46,160
So check this out.

144
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,580
You've got your floppy disc reader.

145
00:06:48,580 --> 00:06:53,580
You've got not one, but two PCMCIA expansion slots.

146
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,340
So these could actually be used back in the day

147
00:06:56,340 --> 00:06:59,560
to add new ports to laptops.

148
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,100
Go figure, right?

149
00:07:01,100 --> 00:07:04,400
We've got our RJ11 modem port.

150
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,340
We've got the PS2 port we ended up using.

151
00:07:06,340 --> 00:07:07,180
Check this out.

152
00:07:07,180 --> 00:07:09,920
That my friends, yes, that is infrared.

153
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:10,760
I believe though,

154
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,660
instead of being used as just like a remote control

155
00:07:13,660 --> 00:07:15,260
or to like control your TV,

156
00:07:15,260 --> 00:07:17,920
this was actually for wireless data transmission.

157
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,240
Yeah, I know, right?

158
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,160
We've got our printer port.

159
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,100
We've got a dock port, VGA out, serial.

160
00:07:26,100 --> 00:07:28,420
And then, oh, moving around.

161
00:07:28,420 --> 00:07:31,800
Finally, my ARM is like actually falling asleep,

162
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,840
holding this thing up like this.

163
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,800
We've got our CD-ROM drive.

164
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,600
And finally, headphone microphone jacks.

165
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:39,440
Yes, my friend,

166
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,720
headphone jack and check this out.

167
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,900
Here's a feature you haven't seen in a while.

168
00:07:45,900 --> 00:07:49,610
A removable battery.

169
00:07:49,610 --> 00:07:54,830
Now, I mean, 2.7 amp hours.

170
00:07:55,070 --> 00:07:57,290
That is not a lot.

171
00:07:57,290 --> 00:07:59,450
And it obviously isn't gonna work very well anymore,

172
00:07:59,450 --> 00:08:02,840
but hey, it had it.

173
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,870
Oh wow, seriously?

174
00:08:05,870 --> 00:08:07,110
When there's an auto run,

175
00:08:07,110 --> 00:08:11,310
you can't click anything behind it.

176
00:08:11,310 --> 00:08:12,890
Multitasking.

177
00:08:12,890 --> 00:08:13,710
There's so many things.

178
00:08:13,710 --> 00:08:16,650
I completely take for granted these days.

179
00:08:16,650 --> 00:08:19,810
All right, let's fire up some Corel WordPerfect.

180
00:08:19,810 --> 00:08:21,570
So back to the things that are good about it.

181
00:08:21,570 --> 00:08:24,230
This keyboard is amazing.

182
00:08:24,230 --> 00:08:28,950
Compared to modern keyboards,

183
00:08:28,950 --> 00:08:34,080
you might as well have a mechanical keyboard in your laptop.

184
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:38,510
Like this is flipping awesome.

185
00:08:38,510 --> 00:08:39,650
The layout's great.

186
00:08:39,650 --> 00:08:43,130
It's got dedicated keys for home and page up, page down.

187
00:08:43,130 --> 00:08:47,010
It's got, look at this travel.

188
00:08:47,010 --> 00:08:47,850
Listen to that.

189
00:08:47,850 --> 00:08:48,930
Like that.

190
00:08:49,050 --> 00:08:51,270
That is a laptop keyboard.

191
00:08:51,270 --> 00:08:52,370
And check this out.

192
00:08:52,370 --> 00:08:54,770
It's even got remappable shortcut buttons.

193
00:08:54,770 --> 00:08:58,830
Like come on, 1996 wasn't such a bad time.

194
00:08:58,830 --> 00:09:03,090
I mean, yeah, there's no Windows key.

195
00:09:03,090 --> 00:09:03,930
You know what though?

196
00:09:03,930 --> 00:09:07,550
1602 actually can be run on relatively modern machines.

197
00:09:07,550 --> 00:09:11,230
And there is a game that I legitimately have not played

198
00:09:11,230 --> 00:09:13,790
since like 2002 when the classroom computers

199
00:09:13,790 --> 00:09:17,330
actually ran Windows 95, Windows 98.

200
00:09:17,330 --> 00:09:19,030
And it's called Liero.

201
00:09:21,070 --> 00:09:23,680
Unfortunately, getting it seems

202
00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:24,840
like it might be a little tricky.

203
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,860
So a lot of you might not realize this,

204
00:09:26,860 --> 00:09:27,940
but check this out.

205
00:09:27,940 --> 00:09:32,420
Windows 95 is actually pre like

206
00:09:32,420 --> 00:09:35,220
the blue Internet Explorer icon.

207
00:09:35,220 --> 00:09:38,340
This is when like Internet Explorer was the name

208
00:09:38,340 --> 00:09:41,260
because it was Internet Mail, Internet News,

209
00:09:41,260 --> 00:09:43,520
and Internet Explorer.

210
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,640
What does Internet News even look like?

211
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,180
What do you, please select a folder

212
00:09:47,180 --> 00:09:48,720
where Internet Mail should keep your message up.

213
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,280
What are you even talking about?

214
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:51,210
Internet News is the best way to keep your messages online.

215
00:09:51,210 --> 00:09:52,970
news configuration.

216
00:09:52,970 --> 00:09:55,050
Holy crap.

217
00:10:00,580 --> 00:10:04,080
So we're gonna have to download the game separately

218
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,660
and then just copy it over to here,

219
00:10:06,660 --> 00:10:08,420
except one small problem.

220
00:10:08,420 --> 00:10:09,760
Even though the game is small enough

221
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,460
to fit on a single floppy disk,

222
00:10:12,460 --> 00:10:13,860
I don't have any floppy disks.

223
00:10:13,860 --> 00:10:15,040
Does this pop out?

224
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,780
Is this floppy drive removable?

225
00:10:17,780 --> 00:10:19,640
Holy crap it is.

226
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,240
There must be like a catch somewhere for it.

227
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,460
It definitely, anyway.

228
00:10:22,460 --> 00:10:27,460
Also, RJ45 was considered a fancy pants feature back then.

229
00:10:27,700 --> 00:10:28,540
None of that.

230
00:10:28,540 --> 00:10:32,580
And of course, even if Windows 95 did support USB storage,

231
00:10:32,580 --> 00:10:35,000
it doesn't have any USB ports.

232
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,860
And Wi-Fi, oh, forget about it.

233
00:10:37,860 --> 00:10:39,780
That was still a twinkle in the eye

234
00:10:39,780 --> 00:10:40,840
of an engineer somewhere.

235
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,050
Like that, that's not a thing.

236
00:10:44,050 --> 00:10:46,130
I'll be right back.

237
00:10:46,130 --> 00:10:49,350
Fortunately, what is a thing

238
00:10:49,350 --> 00:10:53,350
is this old external CD burner that I have.

239
00:10:54,270 --> 00:10:58,310
And this spindle of CDRs

240
00:10:58,310 --> 00:10:59,870
that I happen to have kicking around.

241
00:10:59,870 --> 00:11:04,550
Like I still remember, when if you had a CD burner,

242
00:11:04,550 --> 00:11:07,470
you were the coolest kid in class.

243
00:11:07,470 --> 00:11:12,250
Like, yeah, they were slow and the software was atrocious.

244
00:11:12,250 --> 00:11:15,570
Also, the blank disks were expensive.

245
00:11:15,570 --> 00:11:19,310
So when a burn failed, it was like actually a big deal.

246
00:11:19,310 --> 00:11:22,130
Like, okay, there goes a few more dollars, great.

247
00:11:22,130 --> 00:11:23,130
Thanks for that.

248
00:11:23,130 --> 00:11:28,130
but you could move a whopping 650 megabytes of data

249
00:11:30,490 --> 00:11:34,160
in between machines or store it safely.

250
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,430
And that is exactly what we are gonna do.

251
00:11:38,430 --> 00:11:41,290
Now, I don't actually have burning software installed

252
00:11:41,290 --> 00:11:45,950
on this laptop because why would I?

253
00:11:45,950 --> 00:11:50,950
But I seem to recall Microsoft building it in at some point.

254
00:11:51,010 --> 00:11:53,390
Okay, how do you wanna use this disc?

255
00:11:53,390 --> 00:11:57,570
With a CD, DVD player, Riero.

256
00:11:57,570 --> 00:12:01,480
Manage, finish burning.

257
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:11,310
Okay, I'm burning a CD.

258
00:12:11,310 --> 00:12:14,000
It's been a while.

259
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,780
Now, when I say these things were slow,

260
00:12:15,780 --> 00:12:17,100
like I really mean it.

261
00:12:17,100 --> 00:12:19,960
I'm going at a speed that is about eight times

262
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,640
what we would have had back then

263
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,820
in the early days of CD burning.

264
00:12:23,820 --> 00:12:26,480
I'm only writing like a mega files

265
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:27,780
and it's still taking this long

266
00:12:27,780 --> 00:12:29,820
because there was the preamble

267
00:12:29,820 --> 00:12:32,920
and the like the finishing process

268
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,080
that had to be done on the disc

269
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,620
regardless of how much you wrote to it.

270
00:12:36,620 --> 00:12:38,480
So let's see if this works.

271
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,690
Fortunately, if it didn't,

272
00:12:40,690 --> 00:12:41,930
I've got this whole spindle

273
00:12:41,930 --> 00:12:46,210
that definitely is not earmarked for any other purpose.

274
00:12:46,210 --> 00:12:48,190
So Brian must have actually burned this for me.

275
00:12:48,190 --> 00:12:49,920
That's awesome.

276
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:50,760
Thanks, dude.

277
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,420
Hey, there we go.

278
00:12:54,420 --> 00:12:56,840
Holy crap, I think it worked.

279
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,740
Liero Windows 98.

280
00:12:58,740 --> 00:12:59,780
Give her a second here.

281
00:12:59,780 --> 00:13:01,440
Gotta ramp up that disc.

282
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,120
Okay, is this gonna work?

283
00:13:05,260 --> 00:13:06,420
Oh, IRQ5.

284
00:13:07,340 --> 00:13:10,820
Extended memory successfully initialized.

285
00:13:10,820 --> 00:13:12,920
Press any key.

286
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:17,920
Oh yeah, Liero V1.33, baby.

287
00:13:18,860 --> 00:13:22,730
Hey, Jake, you wanna play some Liero?

288
00:13:22,730 --> 00:13:23,970
Liero.

289
00:13:23,970 --> 00:13:25,850
So it's local multiplayer only.

290
00:13:25,850 --> 00:13:27,810
Oh, so am I like WASD and you're?

291
00:13:28,990 --> 00:13:30,730
Well, you're RFDG

292
00:13:30,730 --> 00:13:33,730
and then you need fire, change weapons, and jump.

293
00:13:33,730 --> 00:13:36,210
If it helps at all, mine's really not much better.

294
00:13:36,210 --> 00:13:39,180
So there's a mini map down here.

295
00:13:39,180 --> 00:13:40,740
Wait, I think I played this before.

296
00:13:40,740 --> 00:13:42,180
Nah, there's a way to dig fast.

297
00:13:42,180 --> 00:13:43,200
Ah, there it is.

298
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:44,320
You hold the direction you wanna go

299
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:45,400
and then you press back.

300
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,000
So you, like, you spam back.

301
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,260
I think this keyboard has ghosting issues.

302
00:13:49,260 --> 00:13:50,460
Oh, I see.

303
00:13:50,460 --> 00:13:55,540
So only one of us can like dig at a time.

304
00:13:55,540 --> 00:13:57,580
Just get some explosives going on up in this biz.

305
00:13:57,580 --> 00:13:58,740
I'm stuck, oh no.

306
00:13:58,740 --> 00:13:59,580
Oh crap.

307
00:14:00,420 --> 00:14:03,260
That was not what I meant to do.

308
00:14:03,260 --> 00:14:05,900
Oh, get slaughtered.

309
00:14:05,900 --> 00:14:08,120
That slow reload is killing me here.

310
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:09,560
No, I can't even aim.

311
00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:10,400
Oh no.

312
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:11,240
Oh, right, the hook shot.

313
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:12,080
What?

314
00:14:12,540 --> 00:14:13,380
I can't change my weapons

315
00:14:13,380 --> 00:14:14,600
because you're holding down keys.

316
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:15,920
Yes.

317
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:16,760
No.

318
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:17,600
This is a match.

319
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:18,780
I can't change my weapon.

320
00:14:18,780 --> 00:14:20,810
Nah, you're done.

321
00:14:20,810 --> 00:14:23,550
We have 14 lives, we're gonna be here all day.

322
00:14:23,550 --> 00:14:24,970
Yeah, when you're better at the game

323
00:14:24,970 --> 00:14:26,110
and the controls are working,

324
00:14:26,110 --> 00:14:27,830
it actually goes pretty quick.

325
00:14:27,830 --> 00:14:30,070
Oh, the grasshopper's really powerful.

326
00:14:30,070 --> 00:14:32,390
What the hell?

327
00:14:32,390 --> 00:14:33,970
Okay, next point wins, I guess.

328
00:14:33,970 --> 00:14:34,850
Yeah.

329
00:14:34,850 --> 00:14:36,080
Shoot.

330
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,720
I shouldn't have said that.

331
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:39,560
And I'm done.

332
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:40,540
Thanks, bud.

333
00:14:40,540 --> 00:14:42,660
Now, one of the other things I used my laptop for

334
00:14:42,660 --> 00:14:44,940
when I was a teenager was looking at pictures.

335
00:14:44,940 --> 00:14:49,940
So the problem, though, is that when you...

336
00:14:51,490 --> 00:14:55,870
Did that just use Internet Explorer to open a picture?

337
00:14:55,870 --> 00:14:57,050
It did.

338
00:14:57,050 --> 00:15:02,340
It is downloading it from the CD-ROM drive.

339
00:15:02,340 --> 00:15:03,300
Give her a minute.

340
00:15:05,900 --> 00:15:07,240
Oh, yeah, there it goes.

341
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:08,160
She's loading.

342
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:09,440
She's loading in.

343
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,320
Skin tones were really not handled very well

344
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,060
on the default setting.

345
00:15:15,060 --> 00:15:16,880
So you can hardly tell

346
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,020
because the display is so bad,

347
00:15:18,020 --> 00:15:19,320
but if you zoom in on this,

348
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:25,270
can you tell how little color depth there is to this thing?

349
00:15:25,270 --> 00:15:26,110
Yeah, it's pretty bad.

350
00:15:26,110 --> 00:15:29,420
Look at it, like, loading in on the edges of the frame

351
00:15:29,420 --> 00:15:30,260
as you...

352
00:15:30,260 --> 00:15:31,100
Did you see that?

353
00:15:31,100 --> 00:15:32,130
Yeah.

354
00:15:32,130 --> 00:15:32,990
Oh, it's spectacular.

355
00:15:32,990 --> 00:15:37,400
Now, fortunately, many older computers,

356
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:38,520
if you went into the properties,

357
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,600
much like you would today,

358
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,760
allowed you to, here we go,

359
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:47,790
change the color palette from the default 256 to high color

360
00:15:48,030 --> 00:15:50,310
or even true color.

361
00:15:50,310 --> 00:15:51,810
Now, with that said,

362
00:15:51,810 --> 00:15:54,590
that didn't actually seem to do much for me.

363
00:15:54,590 --> 00:15:56,250
And it might've been Windows 98

364
00:15:56,250 --> 00:16:00,580
where they had a built-in picture viewer.

365
00:16:00,580 --> 00:16:02,020
Can I open this with something else?

366
00:16:02,020 --> 00:16:03,720
Like, is this something that's been altered?

367
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,300
Yeah, this is clearly no better.

368
00:16:05,300 --> 00:16:08,060
The bottleneck here may actually be the display.

369
00:16:08,060 --> 00:16:10,560
You guys will just have to take my word for it.

370
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,100
16 or better yet, 24-bit color

371
00:16:13,100 --> 00:16:15,760
was definitely a much better experience

372
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,900
when looking at pictures on your laptop.

373
00:16:17,900 --> 00:16:20,600
A better representation of skin tones, for sure.

374
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,700
That is assuming that your dial-up internet connection

375
00:16:23,700 --> 00:16:27,360
could even download anything high res, high color.

376
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,410
I think that's enough of me fooling around with this thing.

377
00:16:30,410 --> 00:16:35,300
Let's get down to business and play some 1602 AD.

378
00:16:35,300 --> 00:16:36,640
Is the sound not working?

379
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:44,240
Did that turn it off or something?

380
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,660
It's not a form of DRM or anything.

381
00:16:46,660 --> 00:16:50,440
It's just that the sound assets were too big

382
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,560
to actually copy over to the hard drive.

383
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,960
In-game music wouldn't work without the disk in.

384
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:58,700
Let's go ahead and close down the program.

385
00:16:58,700 --> 00:17:01,360
Try that one more time.

386
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,060
Isn't that great?

387
00:17:03,060 --> 00:17:09,140
Single player.

388
00:17:09,140 --> 00:17:10,320
Oh, lame.

389
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,120
The yellow and blue player got big ships to start.

390
00:17:13,120 --> 00:17:15,900
So settling a Southern island is good late game

391
00:17:15,900 --> 00:17:18,160
because you've got like cotton and all that kind of stuff,

392
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:19,780
but actually Northern islands

393
00:17:19,780 --> 00:17:22,140
were better for food production.

394
00:17:22,140 --> 00:17:24,160
We have to explore the island.

395
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,380
One moment, please.

396
00:17:27,380 --> 00:17:30,760
Ooh, cocoa and cotton, 100% yield.

397
00:17:31,940 --> 00:17:33,540
Oh, and there's ore!

398
00:17:33,540 --> 00:17:34,260
There we go.

399
00:17:34,260 --> 00:17:38,160
Build a warehouse.

400
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,780
The controls are like so unintuitive.

401
00:17:41,780 --> 00:17:46,840
Man, I might go home tonight and like legit play this game.

402
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,780
Let's get a Forester's hut going on over here.

403
00:17:49,780 --> 00:17:52,840
I won't subject you guys to any more of that though.

404
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,300
So that's pretty much it.

405
00:17:54,300 --> 00:17:58,960
That's a look at not the laptop that I owned as a kid,

406
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,400
but one that is pretty darn close.

407
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,520
It was a hand-me-down actually from my half sister's dad.

408
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:07,000
So it was all-in-one.

409
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,320
It was already worthless then,

410
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,500
and it's even more worthless now.

411
00:18:11,500 --> 00:18:12,740
Well, thanks for watching you guys.

412
00:18:12,740 --> 00:18:16,840
Thanks to Brian for giving me this old clunker of a laptop

413
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,180
to play with here.

414
00:18:18,180 --> 00:18:20,660

But we're gonna have, wow,

419
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,620
I did my entire outro out of order, whatever.

420
00:18:29,620 --> 00:18:33,620
Go buy merch and join our forum.

421
00:18:33,620 --> 00:18:34,460
Yes.
