*bump*

ps:coolest gizmos i have obtained with a Amiga game was that tomato which came with Bill's tomato game ... sadly its not eatable now and it has this funky yellow look now and...umm it doesnt smell too good either anymore.

With Loom (and one more) i got a tape with the game music , theese games had no music on the Amiga so thats what the tape was for....umm not entirely sure if it worked as planned but its still great music ;-)

I had this light gun circus-amusement park game (in case you didn't notice I can't remember its name, but it's an Amiga game so I guess someone here will fill in the blanks) that came with a bag of popcorn. I bought the game new and shrinkwrapped, but 10 years after its release. Lets just say that I didn't try the popcorn.

IIRC the Amiga/ST/PC/Mac ports of the Star Wars arcade game featured a little sound chip that'd play the first few bars of the Star Wars main theme if you pushed a spot on the box.

I never got one. :-(

Had plenty of opportunities but didn't pick one up, stupid me.

Now I'm talking about the one that came on a single floppy disk and was a near-direct port of the vector graphics arcade coin-op; the Amiga version might well be 20 years old...!

Right there in the upper-left corner is where you got your little Star Wars music sample. :)

Other than buying a bigger screen, is there any way I can stop long urls barfing up my display?

Me? Nowhere. Haven't touched IRC since, well, forever.  Or, at least I don't think I've been on the last five years or so. :-D

Yes... tell B00tDisk to type a URL like this:

(url=http://www.amiga.org/) URL link here! (/url)
 URL link here!  (http://www.amiga.org/)

... replacing the round brackets with square ones!

;-)
