LGR - Turbo Science - DOS PC Game Review

[@Phrenotopia]

I must say I really appreciate the captions provided in all your videos by default. It enables "silent" watching your videos whenever necessary!

[@LGR]

Glad it's appreciated! I'm lucky to have viewers that submit those subs :)

[@U014B]

Especially useful when you have to download his videos to a floppy disk.

[@thegrasshopperliesheavy]

every time i hear "practice mooooode" in one of your videos it makes me so happy

[@pelinette]

Just wanted to tell you I always really appreciate you including "practice mooooode"

[@LGR]

I really appreciate that it's still appreciated :D

[@Zappero]

+Lazy Game Reviews 7 years of practice mooooode!

[@roadkill_52]

@@Zappero more 7 years of practice mooooode!!

[@YF501]

[radical and gnarly MIDI electric guitar riff] omg

[@lmull3]

Practice mooooooode! Ahh that never gets old.

[@ToprakSezginFromTurkey]

Where is that sound effect from?

[@AllAroundBang]

Extreme Rockclimbing, he has a video on it.

[@ToprakSezginFromTurkey]

Thank you.

[@chickenbone445]

OMG I played this game so much as a kid! I completely forgot about it, but when that title screen came up it brought back a flood of memories. Thanks!

[@joshuasmiley2227]

You're a great commentator. Thanks for the throwback videos. Brings back good vibes.

[@LGR]

Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying!

[@dosnostalgic]

This is the best edutainment game that Sierra published, and most likely the best quiz game ever made. It's a shame it's forgotten. A lost gem.

[@LGR]

Agreed, it is criminally overlooked. I wonder what the chances are for a digital release someday, or if anyone is even looking into it.

[@Mini-z1994]

+Lazy Game Reviews maybe you can upload a copy too that dos games online site ?

[@GRIZFROST]

Love me a good throwback Sierra. Love the writing on this one. Got some good laughs.

[@LGR]

Appreciated, sir :)

[@NixRagnos]

I absolutely love how most of the screens looks like a legit painting, with little-to-no "animated things are brighter than the background" art.

[@ZombieRonSwanson]

I always love edutainment month

[@LGR]

Awesome, I always love producing it!

[@Horzuhammer]

Love the art style and the music! Plus that title screen is just rad.

[@ACA332]

The best part about this channel is when you cover a game I had, but completely forgot about!

[@neonsponge37]

Edutaintment overload! Learnt about a game, what Queso is and even how to make it! :D Thanks LGR!

[@Jayenkai]

All that fits on three floppies?! Blimey!!!

[@jmatt781]

Man, I was so blown away by these early CD rom games as a kid. My father saw a few of these and was so impressed that he instantly bought Myst as soon as it came out waaaay back then. It was probably the only game that he ever bought for himself, as much as for us, and we loved every second of it.

[@DrunkJackal]

Speaking of science, do you own or have you heard of Isaac Asimov's Science Adventure 2? There is almost nothing about this game on KZbin, and I remember it having a 3D mini-game with extremely catchy music that I miss.

[@ugn669]

There's an Asimov game?! I must research this. There's also a game that's being made at the moment with Neil DeGrasse Tyson's help, that'll be interesting too.

[@SelectKiko]

learning is rad

[@jinjo2200]

you have no idea how happy I am to hear the practice mode sound clip, I thought it was forgotten XD

[@otakuribo]

i appreciate 1:04 how you spread the floppies to match the ones on the label, like a level 1 Droste effect

[@JomasterTheSecond]

I knew this was gonna be good as soon as that sweet Ad-Lib music started playing. *AND WHEN YOU MENTIONED WILLY BEAMISH, HELL YEAH*

[@Feyora]

Johnny Castaway cameos, lol. That was a great little program, you should do a video where you cover a few of the better screen savers like that one If you haven't already, that is. With the exception of maybe After Dark it seems like nobody remembers any of those anymore, it'd be a fun video to watch.

[@Frumptastical]

This game and Gizmos & Gadgets were my two favorite PC games when I was a kid. So good.

[@MrGrandBarbu]

Thanks for that Queso recipe, I will definitely try it out!

[@hoangtran4736]

i love how it takes more system resource to watch these dos and old school windows game video than to just play it yourself.

[@tacoslegit1556]

lgr is the youtube channel ill binge for like 2 weeks, forget it exists, then freak out a little when i watch another vid, creating another 2 week binge lol

[@BemusingProjects]

The return of the lovely "Practice Mode!"

[@SigmundFred7]

Oh yes! The return of the "Practice Mooooooode" guy!

[@TheZombieCurryKid]

I'm surprised how many games use the same "practice moaad!" sound clip! It must be open source or something.

[@Aevilbeast]

LOL, I almost thought you were being serious for a second...

[@Private27281]

Is that a joke? If not, LGR edited it in to almost every game he does. I thought that at first, but then I realised how ridiculous that would be.

[@helldog3105]

I just bought this game yesterday! I remember playing this when I was a kid! I cannot wait until I can play it with my Daughter when she is older.

[@helldog3105]

The only educational series games I don't have now is EcoQuest I and II - They are criminally expensive.

[@KombatGod]

1:00 WOOOOOAHHH DUDE!!!! Like... You're holding the three floppies in the same way as they're drawn on the floppy itself! Like woooahh! Mind blown!! Like tootally dude!

[@TheMoogleMaster]

I think I remember seeing this game once, but never played it. The Adventures of Willy Beamish on the other hand was one of the games that defined my childhood. Can't wait for you to do that one.

[@AnkfordPlays]

hah, still using "Practice Mooooode" I'd like to imagine you have a special folder for it

[@LGR]

It's true, there's always a special place for practice mooooode

[@ArawnNox]

Oh man, I had this as a kid! This game totally gave me a head start in my science classes, growing up. That and shows like Beakman's World.

[@McFlingleson]

I took a picture of the queso recipe. I'm going to try it out.

[@lukobb]

Oh man your voice is so cool. I literally have to turn the bass down on my speakers its crazy!

[@northbynorthnorth]

This was the only game my parents let me play when I was in grade school. Loved it.

[@tygrundy8422]

congratulations for your 700th video!

[@alangriffith1006]

YES! "Practice Mode" returns!

[@cornsyruptrucker]

Wow. Unlocked nostalgia for me here. I vaguely remember this game box so I must’ve owned it at some point as a kid. For some reason I vividly remember the derpy looking flag man

[@paulhicks9399]

For some reason, I'm sure I've played this game before. The only thing is that I didn't get a PC till 1997. Did have a play on a 3.1 system back in 1993.

[@srobinson124]

I found thinkin' things at a Goodwill recently. Also I was just finishing a poptart when he said "eating poptarts all day"

[@westminsterabbey.6916]

Does anyone else here remember an edutainment game that focused on maths that was set in a haunted house - I remember one particular level where you had to cross a cavern or something by hopping across platforms with parts of sums on them (I think, my memory is very vague on this) and you had to choose the ones that made up the right calculation before time ran out and you'd fall to your death if you got it wrong. I've been looking for this game for more than 10 years at this point. As far as I can remember there was a mystery in there to lure you into doing the maths, maybe something to do with your character's girlfriend going missing/getting kidnapped by ghosts? or maybe you were a ghost who was trying to escape the house? (I honestly have no idea, it's been so long). It had a spooky little atmosphere that intrigued me as a child, and I was always annoyed that I had to do maths in order to play it :P I feel like the title had a maths pun in it....

[@Kellmachine]

My favorite edutainment game titles as a kid were the Cluefinder series by The Learning Company! Definitely very early to mid 2000's games lol

[@MediaMunkee]

5:20 Oh my *GOD*, so that's what that weird thing is on the balloon from The Incredible Toon Machine. Which I was just replaying this morning. Freaky.

[@KokoRicky]

"The Castle of Dr. Brain" is an amazing edutainment title from the early 90s, ALSO by Sierra! LGR ought to review it.

[@HarpsiFizz]

This game messed me up big time. Firstly, I was seven when I got it, so I was already not in the intended age range. Then, for some reason, my parents didn't give me that manual that it came with. I didn't even _know_ it came with a manual until I saw this video! I guess they thought it contained the answers and they didn't want me "cheating" with it. I grew up thinking I was just terrible at science because of this game, and thus pursued English, all the while resenting people who were good in science. I still have a science "complex", and it's all because of Quarky and Quaysoo. Thanks a lot, Sierra.

[@coriae]

where did he get the practice mode thing from its amazing. I hope it's a dank meme m8.

[@LGR]

I've been using that clip ever since this video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqGnomB3fdlnerM

[@MoveitorLoseit2]

+Lazy Game Reviews Please review another Elder Scrolls game

[@47wolfpack47]

Oh man, this was MY game growing up. I played it endlessly and scribbled dumb kid science notes all over the "Research Guide." I played tons of other DOS edutainment games and I always found this and Island of Dr. Quandry to be my favorites. Plus this game definitely made an impression on me, I'm an analytical chemist by trade lol.

[@timokampwerth1996]

you just HAD to mention the Home Improvement song, didn't you? It's gonna be stuck in my head for days >_

[@moneek3027]

Thank you for posting! The memories!

[@Koronakesh]

I remember playing a game as a kid. It was placed in a snowy mountain area and you had to do math questions (I think) and buy pick axes and all kinds of stuff. Think it was called Magic Mountain or something like that but I can't remember. Would love to have it identified and see a video on it someday.

[@LGR]

Super Solvers Treasure Mountain! I haven't covered it, but a friend of mine has: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIq8aXV5qKx6sJI

[@deukahng6190]

Do you remember Lenny's Music Toons? Could you do a review? It's a music studio game with wacky graphics like this.

[@nrdkiler]

omg thank you. I was a kid playing this game and time and time I would remember this game but didn't know the title.

[@Ultracity6060]

That info box about 30 seconds in was really slick... nice touch, sir. 👍 I do frown on your inclusion of American cheese and cilantro in your queso, though. :/

[@wjadams2]

I never had Turbo Science, but I did have EcoQuest from Sierra. That was a pretty cool edutainment adventure.

[@father042]

You got featured in Dunkey's KZbin rewind

[@LGR]

Yep :) twitter.com/lazygamereviews/status/808801911084302336

[@gordlord561]

that made me respect Dunkey way more, other than that his videos are hilarious

[@JORGETECHJorge]

I would really appreciate a review of Bushbuck DOS game I remember that edutainment title and was quite interesting

[@celesteraven916]

Just out of curiosity, has anyone tried that queso recipe that popped up?

[@TezzerethPrime]

The tune towards the end reminds me of the turbo tunnel from Battletoads.

[@tizakit]

Wow... I forgot about this one. I spent many many hours playing this.

[@bigemugamer]

FINALLY!! more Edutainment! Uggg that waiting poeriod was WAY to long. Hope your move went well and nothing got lost or smooshed. I love how at around the 3:00 point the names are in the same font as is used in the titles of the Captain Kirk era start trek movies... Does this... Does this mean your finally gonna do an LGR Star Trek Game review?! Even an old DOS Star Trek game would be awesome as I played a few of them! =D

[@Abdulla79]

So it's called Adlib music?! for a long time i wanted to know what kind of music i hear in old Dos/Win Games, thank you for mentioning that, i'm now listening to a playlist of Adlib music from old games.

[@LGR]

Yep, or FM music! I've got two videos on it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jojVi2qui6-kesk kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWTVY4d8bM93rqM

[@cbihun]

+Lazy Game Reviews Do you think that, since KZbin can do HD audio now, you could re-upload some of the AdLib Jukebox music?

[@Abdulla79]

+Lazy Game Reviews Thank you for the videos, so much nostalgia there! sometimes i think of making old computer, maybe 486 or higher to run windows 98, i don't know if this is possible today, but for now, emulators will do.

[@Khaz8969]

i love how that practice mode keep returning

[@BrianGreigRWD]

Wow. I completely forgot about Johnny Castaway.

[@livvy94]

Next time you should look at the Cluefinders games! I remember the 4th grade one very vividly.

[@TheRealTHD]

Well, Ecto Cooler's back these days, so maybe a Home Improvement revival isn't too far off!

[@sappypngn]

I don't think so, THD.

[@Ponimaju]

+THD they can do a Fuller House style reboot, Homer Improvement

[@nowmann2821]

Hey LGR I watched your videos for a while always helps me wind down after work. I don't ever make requests but I was wondering since I'm stuck in the dessert of Afghanistan I was wondering if their were any middle eastern themed games for the PC on the top of my head I can think of three, Prince of Persia, Magic Carpet, and Aladdin. Have you or do you have any in your grand collection? Thanks

[@LGR]

There are those, which I have! There are also games like Master of the Lamps, Al Qadim, and Persian Wars. Of course, there are a ton of flight simulators and wargames based over there, for obvious reasons. I also have several games that were actually developed in the middle east, which is something most don't think about!

[@ameliawright6947]

+Lazy Game Reviews Cyclemania comes to mind ! REALLY.

[@nowmann2821]

+Lazy Game Reviews Right on it would be cool if you could ever get around to some of those. Especially those that were developed in the middle east right on for responding

[@103213able]

I would love to get my hands on this for my kids

[@dingdongbells3314]

Wow. I was hoping for something I might know, but then you REALLY went out of your way to find something I've never heard mentioned anywhere ever in the history of time. Or maybe you were born a couple years before me, so you can pick-up anything off your shelf and I probably won't know what it is? 1992 was a bad year to be born. I'm just old enough to have lived through the 90's but not old enough to remember much about them.

[@ManDudeMcHumanGuy]

Man, the intro to that game reminds me of the intro to, i believe, Maximum Carnage

[@Helyyx]

I still have the disks for this! Sadly, not the box it came in.

[@kizmetmars]

2:25 I laughed waaay to hard at that. Ahh, nostalgia of videos about nostalgia.

[@RundFyrkant]

ahh the good ol practice mode... have not heard that in a while...

[@kashwashwa1]

Willy Beamish is available on GoG now... I'd love to see a review of it.

[@RatelHBadger]

Jeff Tenalp... didn't he have something to do with Earthworm Jim?

[@dickhuntz6962]

Kinda off topic, but do you remember VCD's? Think you could do an oddware on those?

[@LGR]

I don't own any, but Techmoan has a fun little video about them: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGizk4SKodton8k

[@Eferor]

Great breakfast with a LGR video

[@deadpaddyoriordan8146]

Nintari...I need one...you NEED to go over the Gab Knight series...I know you were a fan...

[@PurpleXVI]

Speaking of edutainment, how about the Castle and Island of Dr. Brain games? The later Dr. Brain games weren't very good, but I loved those two when I was a kid.

[@UmbraeNacht]

Maybe if Plankton got the turbo (science) he’d’ve gotten away with a krabby patty.

[@GBC0306]

Hahahaa Practice Mode :) Never get's old NEVER!
