2X CD-ROM! Sound Blaster 16! Speakers! Tons of software! This time on LGR we're revisiting the mid 1990s to unbox and install a Creative Sound Blaster Discovery CD bundle — new old stock! I drooled over these as a kid but owning one was never anything more than a dream. Until now, 26 years later!

"Then I have a drink or two and go on eBay, aaaaand, that's the basis of my channel."
That cracked me up!

"Nooooooo you're opening them and ruining it!"

Who cares lol. Clint gives these items the spotlight they deserve and they truly become a museum piece of some sort. Better to see it all function now and document it before it rots away.

You can always tell someone is a collector by how they open a package.

In 1997 I had a 486 DX2 and I dreamed of having this multimedia kit until my mother bought this Creative one with an 8x CD-ROM drive.

What a dream! Several games included, a Sound Blaster sound card, a whole new world opened up for me with the latest games.

Man, this bundle would've been the DREAM as a kid. I'm still jealous of anyone who had one over 25 years later.

This is some Toy Story-esk saga for computers. Parts locked in a garage until finally freed from storage only to then be sent to the perfect person to utilize it's potential and finally shared with the masses. Kudos sir.

I had this exact bundle as a kid! I played the everloving crap out of wing and strike commander. To hear clear human voices out of computer speakers for the first time was mindblowing!

Ah, the retro PC gods have claimed another blood sacrifice.

Not gonna lie. I would totally rock "birds" on a t-shirt.

My teenage mind was blown away when I finally heard actual sound effects and MIDI music from Doom, Dark Forces, and Tie Fighter. Good times.

@JJPMustang 5 years ago

First sound card we had growing up was the SB 16. I still find myself humming MIDIs decades later 😂

I remember those speakers distinctly, I was too young at the time to realize how much effort my dad had to go through to get stuff like that working properly. Those DOS games were fun, but finicky!

"Not the end of the world, but it's an additional extraneous step and I took it personally!" Bro I love Clint's dry-ass sense of humor. 🤣🤣🤣

A little upset that I'm in my mid 30s and cracked up at the "...farts"

@EuanH91 5 years ago

That "Birds" composition is like an early "graphic design is my passion" meme

man i just missed this era. i grew up with windows 95 and DOS was still around in school like an angry revenant. still brings back some major nostalgia!

Oh man the memories. That moment when you left the "PC Speaker" team to join the SoundBlaster one. EVERYTHING had to make a noise. Maximize, minimize... everything. Nice video!
