What he mined was not bitcoins, but altcoins.
You can do the same now, if you install some of the first versions of bitcoin. The client would mine coins, but since old clients are not compatible with the current blockchain, the coins would be worthless. You would be making your own blockchain, which would practically be your own altcoin.
The same happens if you mine without connection to internet. You might succeed in mining "coins", but the blockchain could not know it, and wouldn't accept your coins in a later time...
So, no way to reclaim coins, because there are no coins.
