Amiga Party Pack (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120352651253) on eBay.
-
so the party pack was just the Amiga DE SDK, but costed more because there was a supposed coupon thingy?
-
It included some extra games afaik.
-
That is an awesome description! No one can say that you are not up front about describing what you are auctioning.

Yup, still have my boxed copy. Ah, wait... I think mine is the linux version. Looks like Red's is the Windows version. I wonder which is rarer? If I recall, once you had it, you could register as a developer using the included serial number. I think my account is still out there on Amiga.com some where. If my serial number is any indication, I'd say they probably sold less that 10,000.
The best part about this item...??? The pretty colored box. :-)

Jim, you certainly know how to call a spade a spade. :-D

Red, where did you find my long lost Party Pack? It had been lost in the mail for so long I had started to give up hope that it would ever arrive or be found!

@ all
This is now a self-abuse thread where you can openly admit you were totally shafted! :crazy:

That party was busted along time ago!

Me too. It never installed on my machine. Amiga support at the time responded that I needed updated drivers. They asked me to sign some sort of a non-disclosure agreement, which I did and faxed back in. They never responded and never gave me access to their download page. I finally sold my copy on eBay.

Yeah, I have to raise my hand here. I played around with the SDK for a while and then then box ended up in a storage box in the attic.
-
Why did it become AmigaDE, is that for Dead End?

Eric Schwartz seemed to be able to make something from it.
