Title: Amiga 500 in the biggest Dutch newspaper!
Post by: ronvs on June 24, 2004, 02:04:43 PM

In the biggest Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf (with 800.000 pieces a day) was a big color picture of my two children playing Rick Dangerous on an Amiga 500!

Nice picture... but what on earth is there a picture of a Mattel Aquarius there for!! They're kind of funky (in a couldn't-possibly-use-it-seriously kind of way) but definitely not Commodore...

Was that at some kind of Commodore get together or something? What's the English translation of the title? (I have no idea what language that is, but I'm gonna guess "Commodore is still alive". :-))

@weirdami

Seeing as this is the biggest Dutch newspaper, the language is probably Dutch ;-)

It's from the "retro game & computerday" event. So no wonder, Mattel thingies are also allowed. But Commodore (and Atari could as well) jumps in mind first :-)

I should stop translating things in unknown languages. :-)

What's the difference between games of those days and games now?  The difference is that they used to be fun.  Why do you think retro gaming is so popular?  8 and 16 bits were the real glory days of video games hands down.  Keep your pixel $hitters and Vertex crap lol
