Can?t see it yet in the states, but I was wondering if anyone here saw it and what you
though. I was involved with the show.

Going to watch this tonight! Excited!
More TV shows to drive speculation on flipping old stuff versus producing
new good stuff. But hey, at least it's a subject I like this time :-)
After American Pickers mentioned some pinball playfield could be turned
into a coffee table tons of normies with pinball machines thought their
old crap machines were worth thousands because people turned them into
expensive coffee tables. Uhm, no.
Some of the gaming console stuff goes for crazy money right now. I've
heard China makes "reproductions" of carts but I've never figured out how
to buy them. I would. Many of my collector friends now would rather buy a
flash cart and download ROMs versus dealing with the speculative pricing
on old games.
It will be interesting to see what happens to the collectibles markets
when/if the housing bubble pops.

I equate the reproductions to kit cars. If you are wanting something to
play / drive without angsting about damage, then IMHO, reproductions &
kits are a great way to go. Just don't pretend that they are the real
thing. Know that they are a reproduction / kit and enjoy the experience.
I've started seeing similar with old sound cards. I'm following someone
on Twitter that's recreating vintage Sound Blaster cards. I've seen
others that I can't remember the make / model of.

Many of the 8-bit ones go for quite a bit more. There was an SB 1.5 that
went for $200 recently, and a Game Blaster went for $400! Once you go past
the SB Pro the prices drop a lot, SB 16s (especially the Vibras) are dirt
cheap. I think people have a fascination for the old Creative CMS chips
(just Philips SAA1099 devices) and the SB 1.X and Game Blaster cards are
one way to try them out.

That was my thought. Though I?m wondering if this is recreating them to run on a modern
computer. That would sort of make sense.

The recreations that I've seen have been bus and feature parity. I view
them as alternatives, vs the real things, so that people can enjoy the
experience in their retro computers.
I think changing the bus would alter things enough to be a problem. Can
games expecting an 8 / 16 bit ISA SoundBlaster work with a PCI
counterpart? Or is there enough difference that it would take new
drivers / code?

In my experience, games written for CGA and 80286 do not do well on modern equipment. You
CAN play them, but they are really slow. The video and sound still work on a Pentium III
with PCI audio and PCI or AGP video, as long as you still load DOS and/or Win 3.1.
Anything higher than a PIII seems to be difficult to find drivers to make the basics of
the motherboard work under the old OS. World of Warcraft in our household went from a 386
to a PIII, and then got set aside as we kept upgrading computers.

I still remember running the original F-16 Falcon game on a 286. It was so fast that
you?d take off and crash before you even knew what was happening. IIRC, the F-16 Falcon
AT version ran just fine.
I bought a copy of ?Master of Orion? and a couple other old games from GOG.com, it?s
running in DOSbox, and lets me run them on my Mac (though I?d rather run the old Mac
version of MOO, as it allows a much higher screen resolution than the DOS version, same
with Warlords II). Realistically I only have time for Atari 2600 games these days (a few
minutes here and there).

great way to go. Just don't pretend that they are the real thing. Know that
they are a reproduction / kit and enjoy the experience.
Indeed! Also, my friends often take their stuff to events where it's all
put out for the public to play at large. When the values get too high on
things, then they tend to get locked behind glass with the price guide
nearby and aren't as easily enjoyed.
I've started seeing similar with old sound cards.
I'm following someone on
Twitter that's recreating vintage Sound Blaster cards. I've seen others that
I can't remember the make / model of.
I think someone just did an Adlib remake. I am lucky that I still have two
Soundblaster 1.0s and a Gravis Ultrasound 1 and Pro or something. It's
neat to me that there is interest in it because that is how I grew up on
DOS PCs, but a bit surprising. A lot of it is driven by youtube stars like
LGR (who is awesome) who build hype. :-) But there are a lot of clones
that should be out there feature compatible and sound identical.
I gave my Adlib to friends for a Tandy system that gets put out at events
for people to play on. Mainly the Chesapeake VA Freeplay event at the
library and the museum room at MAGFest in MD (near DC.) The CM5/CM11
monitor exploded though, which sucks. Flyback died no reproductions yet.
I have to admit, I looked at some of those IIGS sound card reproductions
:-)

Having watched two episodes, I find that their estimates of profit on the items are not
unreasonable - they tend to go with 'doubling our cost'... no insane, 'Oooh,
that's worth megabucks'.
Not being a big toy aficionado, I'm not sure about the demand for some of the items,
but there's a lot of oddball stuff that they present, which makes it more interesting
than the typical "someone's trash is someone else's treasure" show.

Look around

"You have discovered a SECRET PASSAGEWAY. In the room before you

Hi Corey,
You can watch the second episode on the Discovery Canada website as well.
I just watched both. Very nice on the credits by the way.
I think it's a great show with a good variety of items. My only feedback
is that I'm not a fan of how the summarization of the purchase is measured
by potential profit. One has to mentally calculate what the selling value
is. Most other shows summarize purchases with a final potential selling
value so that people can easily see how much something is worth. Maybe
it's just me but throwing the word "profit" around a lot makes it seem the
buyers are in it for the money more than the other shows which I know is
the case for the others but it seems less "greedy" when final selling
prices are stated; leaving the viewer to mentally calculate the profit.
Hope that makes sense.

Canada website as well.

I tried to watch it on the drive home from work today. Youtube video had a
strike (takedown) so it's gone. The web site had IP geolocation and
rejected my phone. So looks like it's Canada only.
So most people will need to use a VPN to get to the Discovery site from a
.ca IP, or maybe it's nerdy enough that it will show up via various
underground conduits of content. I am going to ping a friend tomorrow who
has a 500TB TV rig and see if he has heard of it.

This content is not currently available for viewing in
your browser. For
the best video experience, we recommend using a supported browser
for your
platform. Please visit our FAQ<Va> for more info. 75"
I assume their coding is a little off there. Otherwise, I know what a FAQ
is but I wouldn't know how to instantiate it as a template on the type Va.
And what, I need a 75" display too?

Discovery is working a deal for a US release soon. Maybe early next year.

^^ storage envy. Makes my 12.5TB array at home feel cramped and
confining. 500TB online....I'd scan every document at 600 dpi color
and save the TIFs :)
