Hi there!

My Nick is "BingoBongo". I'm 29 years old and come from Istanbul/Turkey.

I buy my first computer in 1988 (C64). In 1990 i get an Amiga 500 with crazy 1 MEG RAM! :D

Now I'm working as developer at a well know software company from redmond ;)

Best regards

Welcome!  Always good to see new faces!!

I spent a year living in Turkey (Adana) in the early '70s.  Loved the weather, the people, the food and the Med!  Great memories....

Again Welcome!

Welcome to Amiga.org! Nice to see that Amigas attract such an international crowd! I think A.org still needs members from Vatican City and Andorra... :laughing:

Welcome aboard :)

Your username reminds me of the "Civilization" song played on Galaxy News Radio in Fallout 3 :)

Merhaba und thank you for the lovely welcome! ;)

In the 90s Turkey (http://www.tuerkei.cc) was a paradies for C64 and Amiga pirates.
You could buy the latest cracked games legaly in little shops.
The price was only 3-4 YTL (1-2 EUR) per disk.
I remember some shops around here with lists full of more than
1000 C64/Amiga games and more than 5000 disks in the shop!

What a crazy but great time. Memories!!! :roflmao:

And now...

Now i use basically Windows-PCs for develepment and gaming,
BUT i still have my old C64 and Amiga 500 with some nice games.
If friends visit my they pressure my to start some old games :D
