Hi guys and girls.
Just thought I'd be polite and pop in to say hi.
Here's a sad story, all the time I was growing up (I'm 31 now) I had a Spectrum, which I loved, but I always wanted an Amiga (or an ST at a push). Sadly my parent's couldn't afford such luxuries, so I went without!
So fast-forward a good many years, and I've got spare cash and an Ebay account...
Bought myself an A1200 with a 1.3Gb HDD for £30, a quick appeal on FreeCycle brought me boxes and boxes of games (some of which were no longer serviceable, but a good few were) and here I am! I love the way I can buy legitimate software, with all the lavish packaging, off ebay for less than a fiver a pop.
Currently loving Beneath a Steel Sky, Monkey Island, Syndicate, Speedball 2, Simon the Sorceror, Cannon Fodder, Liberation, and loads more!
I can honestly say I've had more fun on my Amiga this past fortnight than I *ever* have on my Xbox (which is now merely a DVD player).
My Amiga sits proudly under my living room telly now - ready to be put into action after a long day's work! What a terrific machine!
Anyway glad to be here, and thanks in advance for putting up with my inevitable n00b questions...
