Welcome to my channel, ctrl-alt-rees! I'm Rees, a British retro enthusiast and collector of 20+ years. I restore, repair, upgrade, modify and maintain all of retro computers and consoles in my collection myself and I'm keen to share not only the process but the end results. I also do a bit of retro game collecting on the side as well as putting out the odd educational or computer history video, as well as electronics tutorials and reviews of gadgets and retrospectives of my favourite retro games. If you're interested in learning more about computer and gaming history and how to really get the most out of your retro systems why not give my channel a subscribe? I'm currently aiming to release one video per week covering whatever I'm currently tinkering with. I also have a website over at https://ctrl-alt-rees.com.

Video Description
If you enjoyed this video please consider subscribing! It really helps the channel out. 🙂 The PC-9821 is one of the later models in the now-legendary NEC PC-98 range of computers. In this video I restore this quirky Japanese machine while learning all about its history and how it relates to the iconic PC-88, and how both computers spawned a whole industry of home computer gaming in their homeland of Japan thanks to their advanced graphics and sound capabilities.
