The absolute movie poster master. RIP, Drew.

Getting some Commodore 64 time in today!

Geekenspiel @geekenspiel.bsky.social · 22d

There’s a CF card in it so period correct went out the window. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ah, thanks! The commercials on this tape are just chock full of 90s goodness.

Geekenspiel @geekenspiel.bsky.social · 25d

Ok

Geekenspiel @geekenspiel.bsky.social · 25d

Pretty neat Intel Pentium commercial. Forgive the quality - I’m recording it straight off my 1985 Fisher TV. This commercial aired May 23rd, 1994 with Star Trek: The Next Generation “All Good Things Pt 1” which I have recorded on VHS on that date. ✨

Here's the next PC I'll be adding to my retro setup at th Geekenspiel Four Corners office. ✨ Specs soon…

Geekenspiel @geekenspiel.bsky.social · Sep 30

Should be open now. 👍🏼

Geekenspiel @geekenspiel.bsky.social · Sep 29

Yes! Durango here.

Geekenspiel @geekenspiel.bsky.social · Sep 29

Figured it’s also time to remove the plastic wrap off the glass… 👀

Geekenspiel @geekenspiel.bsky.social · Sep 29

Probably more excited about his than I should be: finally upgrading the GPU in my 2017 PC (it was recently replaced by a new primary build). Out with the 1060 and in with the 3060ti. 😅 (i7-7700, 32GB RAM)

Geekenspiel @geekenspiel.bsky.social · Sep 29

Great news! Hopefully the only deluge here will be new LGR content. 😉

Geekenspiel @geekenspiel.bsky.social · Sep 29

Nice! Wish they would have offered red to begin with…

Geekenspiel @geekenspiel.bsky.social · Sep 29

My 486 doesn’t have a pnp bios but the DOS functionality is fine. 👍🏼

Geekenspiel @geekenspiel.bsky.social · Sep 29

Not a computer or a sticker but rather a sublime display of beauty at the end of my driveway yesterday…, ✨

Geekenspiel @geekenspiel.bsky.social · Sep 29

Let’s do this! ✨

Geekenspiel @geekenspiel.bsky.social · Sep 28

I don’t quite remember Clint’s video on it. I’m running it in DOS mainly. Pretty sure the bios doesn’t support pnp though. I’ll double check.

Geekenspiel @geekenspiel.bsky.social · Sep 28

Surprisingly straight forward. Works great!

Geekenspiel @geekenspiel.bsky.social · Sep 28

😅 Yeah. My first Pentium 100 in 1996 had 16mb and it cost me an arm and a leg!

Geekenspiel @geekenspiel.bsky.social · Sep 27

A little more detail on my 486 machine:
AMD DX4-120
32mb RAM
ATi Mach64 ISA 4mb
Orpheus II w Dreamblaster X16

Geekenspiel @geekenspiel.bsky.social · Sep 27

I’ll post a photo of the inside today with some specs. 🙂

Geekenspiel @geekenspiel.bsky.social · Sep 26

Yeah, I’m not sure why I skipped over that one since I have more designs for AMD than any other single brand. 🤔 Will definitely put that at the top of the to-do list.

Geekenspiel @geekenspiel.bsky.social · Sep 26

Thanks Rik! This one was a nos unit I probably paid too much for on eBay a few years ago. 😉

Geekenspiel @geekenspiel.bsky.social · Sep 26

My little retro setup at the Geekenspiel Four Corners office is coming along nicely!
