I'd have to say Monkey Island!!!

On your controller hit the BACK button, and it degrades the graphics to 16 bit quality AND gives you an achievement!

Hmmmm - very close minded and controversial statement IMHO, which slightly offends me. Xbox live is indeed Microsoft but where as I love to death my Amiga and therefore am proud of my Amigan status and still enjoy all that is Amiga; I also look forward, and in doing so would not be so limited or insular as to think anything was off limits to me; but each to their own. For instance I love the sound of Vinyl (and i still own a sweet oil stabilised system x turntable) yet I also own a reference CD player, and so on. The love of one technology does not, and should not prohibit nor restrict the enjoyment of another. It's technology for Pete's sake - not religion!

That was so well said.  A applaud you

Oh yeah well under the special groups listing there is a Church of 3DO so maybe it is a religion, and you really need to lighten up as I was just trying to make a funny. Careful not to anger the Xbla as the consequences could be dire.

JC, you may have been trying to make a funny but nowhere in your statement did you apply any affectation to achieve that.  A simple smiley would have done it.  Obviously we have had a misunderstanding, which is easy done given that the good old written word is often misinterpreted and the intention often lost in the sea of pixels :)  Bygones eh?

Yeah, I'm also pretty sure that playing exbox means you are somehow helping M$ and you are spending time not playing Amiga.  That's just sick and wrong.  

Gaming ended with the Amiga. Period. Full stop.

There is something honestly wrong with you people.   Why stop yourself having enjoyment because of some misguided  ideas.  Talk about cutting off you nose to spite your face.

Well said mate. I dont see why people wont buy a certain piece of software or hardware because its made by a certain company?? :confused: I buy stuff on merit and its relevance on what I want it to do for me, nothing more. The 360 is a great gaming console and XBL is the benchmark for console online gaming, the fact that its made by Microsoft (thats how its spelt by the way;) ) is irrelevant.
==================
Amiga 4000/040 25Mhz - 18MB Ram-HDD-CDRW- Picasso 2 2MB GFX OS3.9
Amiga 2000/030 25Mhz - 10MB Ram - GVP HC+8 with HDD and CDROM OS3.1 and a DKB MEGAChip
Amiga 1200/030 50Mhz - 18MB Ram - CF>IDE OS3.1 Squirrel SCSI
A500+ 000/7Mhz - 4MB Ram GVP HD+ SCSI w/40MB HDD (WOW!!)
Plus a "few" more ;) hehe

And the English Language ended with you....  A full stop is the same as a period.

I don't spend all day worshiping at the church of Amiga as you obviously do but to call enjoyment of anything other than Amiga "sick" only shows how insular and blinkered you are.

As I said in a previous post; I love my Amiga and everything about it but not at the exclusion of everything else.  

This little poll and post is supposed to be fun - not something to get on your provincial soap box about.  

Oh, look at the time, you better make sure you've turned your amiga on, stroked all the keys from right to left, pointed yourself north, spun three times and said the prayer to Jay Miner before the clock strikes the hour...

I can't stream Netflix or play Rockstar on my Amiga!  (which is really all the 360 gets used for.)
