Now here's something truly unique.

Greetings, all! After somehow acquiring this bizarre bear computer at the end of last year I've finally gotten around to restoring it and building it back up. And boy is it a sight to behold.

Hope y'all have fun watching this one, as it's thanks to messages from a number of you that I even heard about this odd beast to begin with!

And now begins work on another topic that the internet made me do... chances are decent that you've seen these things online by now. Well I've got one! Along with that slim 386 handheld PC from the same person. Truly don't know what to expect once I start diving into them so it should make for a pretty interesting LGR thing.

Till then – enjoy this early look at THE BEAR.

The Bear-A-Byte PC: Pentium III Teddy Bear Computer

Checking out the unique Bear A Byte computer system! I had to have this weird custom machine as soon as I saw it on Craigslist. An IKEA stuffed bear packing a Windows PC running an Intel Pentium 3 CPU? Oh yes. It's rather dirty though, so let's go about restoring and building this rig back even better! ● LGR links: https://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.twitter.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.facebook.com/LazyGameReviews ● All background music licensed from: http://www.epidemicsound.com 00:00 Introducing the Bear-A-Byte PC 07:24 Poking around inside 14:54 Taking it all apart 15:35 Cleaning and restoration 19:50 Reassembling the computer 21:50 First power on and testing 24:41 Installing Windows 28:38 Sound and graphics tests 31:11 Fatty Bear's Birthday Surprise 34:10 MechWarrior 2 Ghost Bear's Legacy 35:52 The integrated sound is terrible 36:37 Wrapping things up, UT99, NFS3 etc #LGR #retro #computer
