When Clint opened the Simpson doom you could see the utter joy on his face
I mean who wouldn't. Anything from the Simpsons golden age is great.
Clint's friggin face reflected in the monitor as he plays Simpson's DOOM! Pure joy.
I love how there are tags like MS-DOS and stuff and between them there randomly is BEES
ya like jazz?
Gob Bluth enters the chat
BEES
JUST BOOBS
DID SOMEBODY SAY *BEES*?!?
That movie made me ROFL. Soooo unintentionally campy.
I don't think Gob's on board.
what is this? a comment thread woefully underpopulated by bees? a large influx of bees oughta put a stop to that!
I had Magic Desk as a kid that I got from a friend for our 486 PC when we got rid of the 386SX machine. It was amazing, I loved it. All my games, apps and shortcuts right there, even made one to boot into Windows. It actually felt like Windows at the time, bypassing all those DOS commands to play games and do things. Magic Desk was a great piece of software for its time. I loved it.
SO MUCH COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT OH MY GOD I NEED THIS CD
Ladderadder Mcglitternips I know that. But a custom Doom WAD based on The Simpsons? You can only play custom WADs on the full version of Doom, and The Simpsons is a copyrighted TV show.
They must've used a hex editor to remove the check -- it is the shareware version.
Or just used an old version of the wad/engine, since they didn't actually do the check until later versions.
@@alicesavage69420 The simpsons wad could well be legal as it can clearly be described as parody, but I just read that older versions of shareware doom could in fact load PWAD's but it was removed from shareware version later, and that the version on the disc is the shareware version.
@@dustmighte Redistributing the modified version of the engine (or the game files) would have been just as illegal, but they didn't have to do that.
That "spoiler:it is" quick edit was what got my like. Genuinely funny.
ooh different. I like it. Just pull random boxes off a shelf. Could make a good Monday show. Mix box Mondays maybe?
Ian Jacobson I agree I love this way to much and sounds lazy perfect
Seconded!
Ian Jacobson yes
It works so well!
IanJacobson I see your icon is Dot Agumon which is based on the Digimon keychains.
Hold on...did System Shock have Mickey Mouse on it?!
Shodan is secretely mickey mouse!
L-L-Look at you, tourist. A p-p-pathetic creature with sandals and sunscreen. P-p-panting and sweating as you r-r-run through my themepark. How c-c-can you challenge a perfect, i-i-immortal mascot?
+MPSecare According to several people so is Nintendo.
@@GatorRay Nintendo aren't evil like Disney or EA, they're just... disingenuous. They cultivate a 'mom and pop/ good guy' reputation and aesthetic while functioning pretty much like a Japanese Take-Two Interactive. It's slimy, but it's not horrible.
They predicted Warren Spector directing Epic Mickey
Is it just me or do these old shareware CDs give anyone else a vibe of those public domain VHS tapes?
I remember some of those VHS tapes with shitty movies on them being sold in big bins at Dollar Tree, or Dollar General, then it became the shitty public domain DVD movies being sold for $1 in really thin cases with labels that felt like they where made on a $2,000 automatic DVD burner disc duplicator on DVD disc so cheap it cost them maybe $50 to make a 1,000 disc in a sweat shop located in the middle of China some place.
Commodorefan64 I actually still have some of those public domain VHS tapes and DVDs. I remember that some of that some of the VHS tapes didn't have all of the videos listed on the tape's labels and boxes actually recorded onto the tape.
Never heard of public domain VHS's - I mean, there was some freely distributed stuff, but it wasn't public domain here in Finland back in the days, but I don't know what these PD VHS's were.
@@robsku1 after 23 years copyright expires and movies go into the public domain. at that point anyone can do anything they want with them. i suggest checking out "battleship potemkin" myself.
atleast until capitalism and the love of money decided that putting a cap on greed puts a cap on evil so thanks to the capitalist scumbags nothing goes into public domain anymore. the love of money is the root of all evil and capitalism is the embodiment of the love of money.
atleast that's how it is in the united states. i don't know what it's like in finland, i do say that i am extremely jealous though and i wish i could live in your country. the united states is hell. you can't imagine how bad it is to live here compared to other first world countries, especially finland.
@@dizzyboy352 That simply isn't true. Copyright now last virtually forever because rich people can take advantage of it.
WHAT????? SIMPSONS DOOM????? WHAT????? HOW HAVE I NOT HEARD OF THIS BEFORE!!!!!
Its a doom .wad/mod, the doom modding community is full of crazy shit like that. It doesn't change anything beyond the item/enemy sprites and the sounds though.
+Hatsworthful a lot of Doom 1 .wads where just that sadly, but still interesting to go back, and look at.
+Commodorefan64 Yeah, its a shame (still fun to go back and check it out though). The real meat of the mods is from/for doom 2.
Army of Darkness was my favorite wad.
@@CommodoreFan64 There are a lot of add-on levels, level packs, partial conversions (PC) and total conversions (TC) for DooM too, although most of them are for DooM 2 - especiallly most of the PC and TC's. but there are some for DooM 1/Ultimate DooM also...
These add-ons that just modified some of the enemy sprites and objects lost quickly any value in my eyes back in the day, and nowdays I only touch the stuff I mentioned in the beginning of this comment.
I really want ashens to review every game on that disk.
BeepBeep BeeBeep BeepBoop HELLO
GAMING TAT
dont know if you guys cares but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all of the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. Have been watching with my gf for the last days xD
@Keaton Sergio yup, been using instaflixxer for years myself :D
@@keatonsergio3480 *I DON'T CARE*
So glad you linked to the ISO of the disc. Will have some fun with this I think. Quickshot use to be quality here in the UK especially during the Spectrum/Amiga days, this crap you have does to do it justice.
QuickShot made some nice controllers, some quirky oddballs, and some cheap shit. They had a controller for everybody in an attempt to slice out the biggest piece of the controller pie.
@@CptJistuce Exactly, the joystick I liked the most back in the days was the QS-128/138F (also known as the maverick), but the d-pad of their controllers was terrible.
Holy shit I had that GUI we had on our 286 when I was growing up, before Windows 3.1 came about.
They clearly took that and rebranded it for their own purposes. It even has the pixel color changer to mess with icons.
compmanio36 Toybox 2?
For professional players? Maybe I should get one of those controllers for CS:GO
Send it to anomaly
Oh my God I always eat ramen for dinner watching LGR reviews that I've become conditioned to think about noodles while watching a LGR video
6:20 That System Shock icon...
See, if they were just picking images that somewhat resembled the title, they still wouldn't pick THAT. I think someone at the company had too much fun that day.
you are my favorite CZcamsr never stop
Happy to hear it, no plans on stopping at all :)
This is truly fantastic! Your sense of humor always cracks me up, and your love for odd "crap" pairs so well with it.
honestly the funniest, and best video you've put out. i love these little off the cuff videos
This comes from slightly before my time, but it still tickles me to no end to see this sort of thing. Seeing a demo disc and crappy peripherals almost feels like a more authentic representation of that era of gaming...
They're (mostly) crappy indeed but the QuickShot brand is legendary for European retrogamers, everyone that started gaming in microcomputes has had a Quickshot branded joystick at some point.
good old days
Man, disks like that saved my childhood! Just a load of demo CD's that let little me play games that I just couldn't afford.
Now as a grown up, I can afford and play them all :D
You and me both. Played some totally off-the-wall games I'd never see any other way, too. I mean, sure episode 1 of Doom, Alien Carnage, Raptor, Tyrian, and Descent was awesome, but then you find Radix: Into the Void, a pile of SVGA Arkanoid clones, and some cool scrolling shooter that you can't remember the title of though you'd dearly love to play it again.
This was wonderful LGR, especially with the suction cups, lol.
Keep up the awesome work - kudos from Poland !!!
Just woke up to a new lgr video 2 minutes ago, woo! 🤘
TCPixel hello
I'm stunned to hear you mention a Calvin & Hobbes game, as Bill Waterson never allowed his characters to be licensed for any sort of merchandise, TV show, or game. Even the little stickers you see on cars of Calvin peeing on logos, is bootleg and made without his permission. Guess that game slipped way under the radar back in the day.
I didn't mention anything more about it because, like most of the other games on that menu, it's just a random icon associated to a game that is completely unrelated. The game itself is Heretic:
czcams.com/video/PvXDik3-XG0/video.html
Hah, that's awesome. x3
Thank you for the wonderful video Clint!
Great video, Clint! Please don't hesitate to do more like this in the future!!
I will be fucking laughing about BEES for weeks
Haha Doom Simpsons
jbtubas Wait, Simpsons Doom is included!?
EDIT: OG Simpsons Doom (!), not Ultimate. Also, lotsa TRASH here!
I want that original Simpsons Doom wad so bad
Downloaded the ISO a couple hours ago, and been playing Doom with those Simpsons WADs on GZDoom, they're hilarious
On another note, I wonder if Simpsons Doom includes a stolen registered copy of Doom 1 on the disk, because that would make the copyright infringement even sweeter.
+UubrMan X nope! it's running on a shareware version (DOOM1.WAD). The Heretic copy that comes in this game is also shareware!
I missed out on a lot of PC related games and topics growing up in the 90's. Your videos are great and bring in a lot of insight
I had a couple of these as a kid, and as lucky as I got with some of them, this one is a goddamn gold mine. Despite the terrible controllers, there are some fantastic games on that disc!
the designer had no idea what he was putting on the disc
Hahaha this was great. BEES
LGR, my friend had this disc growing up and I thought it was the coolest damn thing back then.
My best channel for watching while having a cup of coffee and chill
Quickshot guy: We've got 3 CD cases and a CD wallet where should we put the videogame disk???
Quickshot boss: Paper Sleeve.
the smooth jazz works way better than it should
the relaxed feel to this vid was dope. this type of content is what i come to your channel to watch.
I wish I had all of your gear, I am drooling every time I see one of your video's! Love to watch it!
LGR THAT CD IS GREAT!!!!! Spider-Man has the superman logo 😂
Now we demand a full review of Simpsons Doom Clint!
New format works for me... just nice to see you delighted, Clint.
I really liked this! I like the idea of you just pulling random stuff off your shelf and just jumping right into it. It doesn't have to be super fancy or anything.
Alright, we need a video of your old custom made icons!
5:58
"Spider-Man has a Superman"
-LGR
Spiderman 64
Oh my god, this was amazing. Thank you for yet another great video, Clint. You're easily my favorite CZcamsr, can't wait to see more LGR Tech Tales and nostalgic 90s game reviews :P
Cool video! I enjoyed the spontaneous 'let's look at this stuff together' vibe.
6:47 Look at the screen reflection to see the enjoyment of killing Moe. I want to play this Doom now.
You should do a full video on Magic Desk and other "desktops." There are so many cool little ones out there!
Loved this video, LGR! Please keep making more like this. Also keep up the great content, you're an inspiration!
Thank you!
Your faint reflection in the screen just makes this perfect.
LGR ROOOOOCCKKSSSSS
Muslim version of quarantine just got me hhhhh
ahahahahaha Quran-tine, I didn't realized at first
Aloha Snackbar!
Oh no !
Bruh
This comment didn't age well : (
Great stuff, LGR! Please keep them coming!
:D - And, as always, thank you for MAKING LGR, Clint!
Am I watching Ashens?
Nah, then he'd have to periodically eat decade-old dodgy candy at some point :)
He was busy reviewing Poundland iPhone charging cords, so LGR will be filling in for him.
Hehe I just noticed indeed
Blimey!
Jesus Christ vinesauce Joel needs to play this so bad
5:56 - never played Along in the Dark, but I sure could go for some Captain Comic 2
I used to love making my own icons as well. OS/2 had an editor and considering that it ran DOS games so well, I created icons for nearly all the games we had on the brand new 486 we got back in 1992. That machine has long gone, though I still have the OEM badge and the QuickShot game port joystick that we had with it, which I think was a little higher end than the one here
I've been half remembering playing the Quarantine Demo for probably 17 years now!! What a nice surprise to see it on this video
Huh. I had that joystick once. Wasn't too bad, but wasn't great. Used to play Descent with it. Good times. God, weren't shareware CDs WEIRD (in a really great way) sometimes, though?
Yeah especially when you're like 8 years old and have to figure all that DOS stuff out by yourself since your parents have less of a clue than you after a couple months of usage.
Loved this video man. I remember having tons of old shareware disks for my first PC.
I could never afford the full games. But still lots of fun!
AL Sutton I remember games being free in the early 90's on the PC. 😉
I had hundreds of shareware games back in the 90s because I couldn't afford full price software.
Shareware was my jam because I could afford 5 to 10 bucks for a whole slew of games.
These days I have all the full versions of games I never had as a kid so yay me.
I do grab shareware stuff for the lols and memories too 🙂
I used to have MagicDesk on my computer as a kid and I loved it. Thank you for reminding me it existed.
5:31... Three years later and still *cracks* me up *=D*
2:02 if you look carefully (below the word "Players") you can see that the controller has a scratch on it too....
The Along (sic) in the Dark 2 guy looks an awful lot like Captain Comic.
More of these please, love seeing what stuff they were trying to shift in the old days, aside from the big hits
I love this kind of LGR content.
Duke Nukem : Rise of Triad
You had me at boobs. ..
I remember seeing the boobs icon somewhere among stock Windows 3.x icon compilations. Never expected that it will be used for Jill of the Jungle in a commercial product LMAO
Westwurtzly Yeah I remember seeing those too, perhaps I was of an age that even pixel boobs were memorable..
This exact same shareware CD came with a PC I bought sometime in 1996-97, very cool to see it again here never seen it featured anywhere online before. It had a lot of cool games to try on it, I spent a lot of hours playing all the stuff on it.
This was amazing. Those typos and icons.
that game disc had my sides hurting, holy shit. doom: simpsons edition.
Can you do a video on the icons you've made?
Great video, please do more of these!
I love these relaxed videos. Watched all your videos since I found you channel a few months back. Your Thrift videos really helped me when I walked on the threadmill at the gym. Keep making more videos! I would really like to see a video mini-techtale or something from you about Windows ME. Windows ME totally passed me by as a kid, and nowadays it's broken legacy is almost forgotten. Keep Clintin'
Thanks, I hope you continue to enjoy!
those typos were mostly to try and avoid copyright I think. As a lot of these discs or at least three that I have have full games on them.
Oh my god. It's a console style Chinese bootleg on a computer!
I didn't even know that was a thing!
Plenty of discs in Eastern Europe that had things like Windows installer + Microsoft office + tons of cracked software from WinRAR and Norton Tools to antiviruses and ACDSee, plus a few simulation games.) Or "best fighting games on PC collection" with Virtua Fighter, Mortal Kombat and some obscure Japanese bootlegs on one disc, or even things like "Westwood and Blizzard, full collection". On one CD. Most games were rips with no FMVs, music and sometimes even sounds cut.)
textfiles, LOL... of course!
If anyone has already saved an old shovelware CD, it's Jason Scott!
#WaybackMachine
the GUI for the CD is actually Toybox II. Most of those icons were the default icons that came with it. That brings back memories as that was the shell we used for all our DOS games when i was a kid.
Chinese checkers icon is just an angry Chinese man, nice
Stuart, where's your brown sofa?
Thank you sir, I always wanted to play that demo CD on that exact computer model, outstanding.
I love that you too still share the sunny optimism that a shareware disc might have a full game on it haha. I used to do the same thing all the time:)
Hey Clint I am wondering if you might be willing to help me out on some nostalgia hunting. I'm looking for a old CD one of those Shareware 101 games on one disc things and I really need help finding it as it has some obscure shareware on it I want to find again. The CD it's self was orange like a attempt to mimick Nickelodeon's orange goop splat and had DROD, Crazy Gravity, Nightmare 3d, Gazzillionare Deluxe, Kung Fu Kim, and many others on it but try as I might I cannot find the exact one I'm looking for it was sold in Walmart around 1997 (I remember it was my second PC game on CD. Simcity 2000 was my first.) and there were so many little dodads and widgets on it I just want to find it and see what else was on there.
I remember one of the games had sound clips in it that were sped up clips from Deputy Dawg as well with the character going "It's Possible. It's Possible." which was a line Musky the Muskrat said a lot and I know it was from the cartoon as it had Musky's southern accent. It was true plagiarism if you think about it.
Also I think you mean Helga Putaki not Pickel. That was Bonkers D. Bobcat's partner Lucky Pickel XD just having fun with ya on old obscure cartoons.
I remember having something like that, there were lots of 101 game compilation disks so it would be hard to find the one you're talking about.
Unfortunately, they still make these "gaming fun multipack" things. Last year, my mom knew I had a 3ds, and she got me a kit with some cases, a dodgy car charger, a pair of headphones (that are probably made of tin foil and slave labor), a cleaning cloth, and a little bag. The charger sounds like jiffy pop.
It's the thought that counts though, right?
I really enjoyed this video. Keep them up
Like these type of videos! Keep them coming!
Some of the games seems even better than todays games.
Martin Lindgren Some of the games seems even worse than today's games.
Ha! Topical! Relevant! Unique!
Seriously, do a collab with Vinny (from Vinesauce) on this. He has loads of videos of cheapo plug-and-play systems and this seems like it would be right up his alley. :P
I feel like Vinny just kinda wants to laugh at stuff, I doubt he'd be interested in the technical aspects
rzeka But it might be kinda' fun to have the tech geek and the comedian work together, no? It could be a really fun mix!
Awesome vid again LGR. This comment Counts for all the vids you have made. :) It's like the tv show I never had, but wanted when growing up. Thumbs up !
I think I might have had that games collection CD, or at least one VERY much like it. Because that GUI is hitting all the nostalgia centers in my brain.
"joystick" with suction cups..... >:)
SUCCtion
Oh no

Not under that name, no
The pure Joy on Clint's face reflected in the monitor made my day.
Your framing is really nice at your workstation. Great use of the reflection.
plot twist it was $50
Your reviews don't seem that lazy to me
Brandon Flash yeah I'm sure he puts a lot of effort into his videos
My Son Will find this Hilarious. He Was Born in 1996 and currently He is Playing His Games On Steam, Laughs coming Soon. Your Videos are So Awesome! Hope to see More LGR Thrifts and LGR Cooking too.
9:07 Oh yeaaah, I remember Clint's icon packs! Back in the day he used to have a torrent with a TON of them and they did look good! Win 3.1 icons IIRC, wish I still had 'em!
