Title: Amiga Collectors - Lend me your ears!
Post by: duddyroar on January 10, 2013, 08:48:04 PM
Hi there, this is my first post on these boards, for reasons which will become apparent very soon.

I'm putting together a collector's guide to the Amiga for Retro Gamer magazine and need to source images of rare hardware and software. I also need to get an idea for the most hard-to-find Amiga games, plus the ones that are generally considered to be the best the format has to offer.

Naturally, we're talking about stuff like the uber-rare Moonstone, which has been known to sell for over £100 on ebay in good, boxed condition.

Anyone able to help? You will be thanked in the final published piece!

Also, it would be great to get the SID/MOD stations name printed to spread the word a little ;)

This is all great stuff, guys. Basically the focus of the piece will be the history of the machine, and then loads of info on collectible games and hardware.

I'll drop some private messages to you in a second!
