All it takes is pulling the Amiga it of storage and playing with it for a day, and you will be hooked again. That is how drugs like the Amiga work - you may stay clean for a while, but you will relapse again!

Sadly, I wish that were true, but, with one notable exception, I kinda lost interest in gaming. When last I messed with my Amiga it was mostly tinkering and programming it.

Wouldn't mind doing that some more these days, but most of my time is taken up with other responsibilities and hobbies... :)

I live in Mesa, AZ and I echo your comments.  My taste in gaming has matured over the years and the Amiga simply doesn't offer much beyond side-scrollers, and platformers.  Those were fine in 1990 when most home computers weren't capable of anything more sophisticated, but it's 28 years later and I only drag out my A1200 these days to relive the pain of C/C++ programming and debugging on classic hardware.  The last time I had it out was about 18 months ago to update a scientific plotting library called PLPLOT  http://aminet.net/package/gfx/show/plplot68k-5.0.1

Yeah, I will definitely use a cross-compiler for my next classic Amiga project unless the standalone Vampire goes to market soon.  AmiDevCPP looked interesting but the site is down and probably won't be back anytime soon.  But the installer is still available here:  https://web.archive.org/web/20160531103718if_/http://amidevcpp.amiga-world.de/AmiDevCpp/AmiDevCpp_graceful_Bulldozer_v098_Setup.exe
