OMG!!!  :-o It's the 80's. That hair! That music! The cheezy infomercial presentation voice acting. I guess they really big dreams.

That was really quite entertaining!   I love the discussion of the software titles (80% of those companies are no longer in business, but it is cool).  And of course, the disclaimer on the end that states some of what we saw in the preceding video was not possible without memory expansion and peripherals!  My thought was "sidecar hard drive needed".

Also the tiny plug for the A2000 :-)

Overall, it was a nice trip down memory lane :-)

It appears our firewall doesn't think much of that filehost.

Maybe I'll try it from home later. ;)

That's not the Amiga commercial with the Pointer Sisters in it is it?

Wow, 'Only Amiga Makes it Possible' - what a record!

I am curious as to the style of logo used at the end though - I was always led to believe that this 'Amiga' logo was used in the early 90s, not way back in the 80s - what happened to the 'Tick'?

Thank you for posting this though,
James
