- There are many reasons to still own and use a computer from the late 90s / early 2000s. Our reason was simple, the GAMES. Find out the story of why I chose to purchase this computer in the year of our Rudd 2024.

This is lovely! I've been given a G3 by my aunt, but I haven't been able to boot it up and get it working yet since it lacks a hard drive. Hopefully I'll find success in playing games on it like you and your wife have!
I hope you do too! I'm grateful people are still out there supplying parts for old hardware. With enough digging, you can find almost anything, an entire computer in my case 😅
Normality was my first "Holy crap, this game is criminally unknown/underrated" game (or was at the time). 7th guest was my first "WOW CD TECHNOLOGY HOW COOL!" game... and the original Baldur's Gate came out on my birthday and was the first re-imagining of what D&D games could look like (using 2nd edition rules, no less! I knew those rules!). Thankfully, I can play them all, with mostly more ease than back in the day. 7th Guest fought me tooth and nail to actually cooperate with the sound card... Resource conflict hell.
the first time i saw the imac g3 was at compusa. i think it was $1200 at the time. i thought it was cool because it was a all-in-one computer & i like the design. Years later i found a imac g3 blueberry at goodwill for $25. i damn near had a heart attack. so, i grabbed it & went up front & bought it & i still have it today
Truly a feel good story if there ever was one 😊
this vid was actually really great, just gonna leave a comment here so the youtube algorithm likes you more :p
Thank you so much, very much appreciated! 👍
HANK AZARIA MENTIONED. Great video dude!
CZcams is easy, just mention Hank Azaria! 😅 Thanks dude 😎
rpcs3 can get bent. Great vid!
You are correct. And it's a modern marvel that it functions at all.

This guy gets it!
I've got one of those in my basement still. Either a blue one or a grey one (I had both). Upgraded the RAM and the HD in it. Now it just sits at the back of a shelf collecting dust. I was debating on turning it in to a fishbowl...
That's awesome. You've got a piece of history!
I want to get a mini g3 just for the marathon trilogy.
That would be awesome 😎
