Title: Hello from London
Post by: NinjaSmiff on March 16, 2009, 04:07:49 PM

Hiya,

Just a quick hello from me. Lifelong Amiga fan here, I got an A500 for Xmas when I was 11 and was instantly smitten, that and the A1200 I armtwisted mum & dad into springing for the week they were released were my life until I was 19 and went to uni leaving the Amigas with my little bruv (who still has them today!) Last year I relented and bought a 1200 and a 1200HD via eBay plus a heap of games. Right now space is an issue though so I'm more interested in emulation - buying a laptop which I can fill with Amiga stuff d'accord plus SNES; Megadrive; Amstrad CPC; C64 etc. But hardware projects will follow when I have a bit more room to play with.

And that's enough from me for now I think :-)

hello there!
emulation is cool, gives you options that just arn't available on the amiga side, and is very useful for maintaining real machines ;-)
 
but then to my mind, nothing beats real hardware :-)

welcome anyway :-D

Hello again sorry, what with this that and the other I haven't been here in AGES.

I'm 32 fact fans, 33 next month actually incase anybody wants to buy me a present (an Aprilia RC4 Factory would be nice).

Anyhoo, the main reason I am back - my other half and I are saving like mental at the moment towards a house deposit. She has sacrificed her Rik Mayall memorabilia collection (don't ask) so I'm expected to make a gesture too, so... :( What could I expect to get for 2x Amiga 1200s each with a power pack, external disc drive, joystick and mouse, and a single Commodore 1084S monitor? My little bruv has had all the games I bought, I'll be sticking to emulation hereonin bah.

Cheers,

Dan

Feel like an embryo now, still, close to maturity.
