Actually Amigazone has been around for at least since the mid-late 90's, if not much earlier. IIRC it is a BBS that can be accessed nowadays from telnet (?).
 
Amigazone is very old school. IIRC it got bought out by "Dr." Ryan C and Merlancia in the early 00's.

He crashed the Delorean. Last I heard he got an AMC Javelin which I'm sure he crashed by now.

I still have my Merlancia stainless steel business card! I guess it went with his whole Delorean theme.

He was also passing out pirate music CD compilations with some vintage 80s music.
