"The Very First"
« on: January 05, 2008, 12:41:20 PM »
Does anyone remember "The Very First" - the tutorial disk which came with Amiga 500s (well with mine at least) and taught you how to use the mouse, among other things. I would love to see it again, but I'm not sure on the copyright status. If anyone knows anything about it, please let me know. If it's a legal download, and there is one somewhere, a link would be great. If it's not legal and someone has a copy of the disk they don't want, please let me know!

No, that wouldn't be very helpful ;-) Anyone know if it's ok to distribute it? If so, an ADF from someone who already has it would be awesome.

1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

I would love to watch this again too!

It would take me right back to Christmas 1988, unboxing the Batman pack, and being disappointed that my father hadn't purchased the Spectrum 128 that I had recommended! ;)

In actual fact, I believe 'The Very First English Version' was indeed the very first disk to boot on my A500 - partly because the modulator included was faulty, requiring the family to wait until boxing day (or was it the day after?) before going into the city to organise a replacement from the store.

Great memories!

Cheers,
James

Hey Moto, I have mine around here somewhere... I'll do my best to dig it out for you if someone doesn't do it first!

Oops forgot to get back to this thread. Someone supplied me with a copy, so sorted. Quite a nostalgia trip :-)

This is how I felt when Mum came back with an A500 instead of the C64 I asked for. And the machine had to be returned
because of a faulty PSU too. Uncanny.

But my A500 did not come with this disk, all that info was in the manual. I would like to see this disk. I have seen similar on the Mac Classic.

this was my first save game disk for my first game, Pirates! :) aah, good memories :) (later, it got the honour to be my first porn disk as well, but that's another story :)) I wish I never erased it though ...
