Post by: TjLaZer on May 24, 2004, 06:34:13 AM
Can anyone guess the Music CD that had a Amiga 500 on the cover art? ;)

StevenJGore got it.

Yes indeed I remember that album and seeing the Amiga 500 on it. It was cool.  Now a song about the Amiga would of been cooler!  Ever year the song from them: Where would I be without IBM?  LOL

 There was an Amiga song.........well sort of...........it was by the same group, INFORMATION SOCIETY. What they had was the Amiga 500 or 1000 singing some lyrics to one of their songs.......it might have been on a different CD though.

Ok, which classic (80's) horror movie featured an Amiga.

Hint: The Amiga was used by parapsychologists.

Recently I watched an adult movie from 2003, where A1200 was spotted in one of the scenes, but I won't tell you more :lol: .

Hmmm... You really are watching these films for all the wrong reasons!  :-D  :-D Seriously though, I think Fatboy Slim's first big album in the UK has an A500 and loadsa floppies inside the cover, smack in the middle of a distorted picture of loadsa serious music & MIDI kit... Though I could be wrong, it could have been an ST I suppose.

@drHirudo

Give us the title, I wanna check! ;-)

Yesternight, I watched Lethal Weapon 3 and when Mel gibson goes to Renee Russo's place, he types on the computer and loads up The Three Stooges... IIRC, it was released on peecee, too right? But it looks and sounds really like the Amiga version.

The song Virtual Isolation by Threshold (UK based progressive metal band) mentioned the fat agnus chip.

@MAD

 The 3 stooges you saw  on Lethal weapon is an Amiga 1000. If I remembr correctly, I am almost positive. I remember cuz it stood out to me.

Also in The Prince of Darkness (I think thats the name), you will see several Amiga 1000's

I wonder that too. I cannot see what computer it is. I would think an Amiga. But I am not sure if that game made it to the pc. I even think I asked this in a thread here sometimes. It's still not sure. Anyone?

That's what I was telling my gf too when she saw me watching that adult movie. Honey, it's just research. And no it's the Amiga that turns me on.

The Three Stooges most definately made it to the PC. Not only that, but it also supported the enhanced sound from the Tandy/PCjr computers. (These machines also had 16 color graphics modes, but I can't remember if that was used too, although I think it was.) See here (http://www.mobygames.com/game/trivia/gameId,27/) for a little blurb about the PC version.

If someone has the movie and the Amiga version of the Three Stooges, go to this (http://www.oldskool.org/shrines/pcjr_tandy) website and listen to the mp3 samples of sound on these machines and compare it with the amiga version against what's in the movie.. That should give away what version it is.

It was definitely J.Carpenter's "Prince of Darkness", featuring Alice Cooper as a bum. A1000s decoding ancient manuscripts 8-).
As for the list, check it out here (http://amiga.emugaming.com/fau/movies.html).

I just watched Sledge Hammer! Season 1 Episode 22 - "The Spa Who Loved Me" and there clearly is an Amiga 1000 used by Anne-Marie Martin (Dori Doreau) for building a photo of a suspected woman and then she prints it in a reasonable quality.
There are several shots where you can see the A1000's case, the keyboard, the frog type Mouse, even the Amiga logo is visible and it's 100% sure. There is even a Joystick which I can't identify, (never owned such). The power switch seems to be black. On mine A1000 it's white, else everything else seems identic, except that it's much whiter than mine.

I am pretty surprised to see an Amiga in my all time favourite cult series.

I spotted an a500 in a adult movie once. The movie seemed to be basicly revolved around this a500 being used for virtual reality porno while being hooked up to some VR googles.

I am not one that often watches such movies, but i accidentaly spotted it when swapping channels some years ago  :-P

Didn't Amiga Format used to run a competition where they gave prizes if you saw an Amiga on the television?
