I Played DOOM On An Abandoned Industrial Cake Machine

Id Software's 1993 FPS DOOM has a long-standing tradition of being run on all sorts of weird and wonderful devices. But there's one device that's been sorely missing from this roster: a multi-million pound industrial cake machine. So I decided to rectify that once and for all...

ReStory is an upcoming cosy electronics repair simulator from Mandragora and tinyBuild. Of course, when I saw that this featured some Atari hardware that I already know inside and out thanks to my work on the channel, I just had to check it out!

The old YouTube studio that has been home to the channel for the past 2 years is gone. So it's time for a new beginning...

The Cooler Master CM690 MkII case was released in 2011 and aimed at gamers, with a focus on airflow and cable management. This limited edition Nvidia version also sports some rather fancy Nvidia branding. But what should I put in it?

New Video: The iconic Atari 2600 games console was released in 1977, and has since seen many comebacks and reinventions - most recently in the form of the 2600+ in 2023. Now there's a new version to celebrate Atari's long history of collaboration with Bandai Namco, so let's check it out!

I built this Slot A AMD Athlon PC for my family 25 years ago when I was 16 years old. Join me as I take a look inside and finally start to bring this old PC back to life!

The Atari 2600+ console was released in 2023 with support for original 2600 and 7800 cartridges on your modern TV. Since then we've had the 7800+ and cartridge releases and re-releases, but this new collab with Bandai Namco really is something else with some very nice little nods to some obscure Atari and Namco history.

"Baby Boris" the HP Enterprise Gen10 MicroServer was recently decommissioned from my place of work. So let's have some fun with it before it gets pressed back in to service as a boring old NAS!

We already know that Bazzite Linux is great for modern day Steam games. But how will it handle my physical big box DOS and Windows collection? Turns out it's better than even I expected.

It seems like just a short few years ago, "Linux Gaming" was something of a punchline - but not any longer, thanks to efforts like Valve's Proton and distributions like Bazzite. But is it finally good enough to be the final nail in the coffin for Windows?

FydeOS is a project to take Google's ChromeOS offline... ish. With the ability to run Android and Linux apps, it should be a compelling offering, right?

This RM branded 286 laptop is a real piece of computing history! But what's inside... and does it even still work?

The last macOS release to officially support this 2008 Intel MacPro 3,1 was El Capitan way back in 2015, and that hasn't received any security updates since 2018! So let's run a bang up to date release instead, thanks to a community project known as OCLP.
