Top 3 worst ideas in Amiga history?

[marcfrick2112]

Well, everything I wanted to say has been said already

Paula not getting even a minor upgrade... ever..... I'm amazed at what the old girl can do, but still .....

Yup, wasting valuable time and money on PC clones....

Too many games, and a few apps. that refused to work on any Amiga with expanded RAM, faster proc., HD, etc. Multi-disk games that only supported DF0: (I mean, REALLY???) :furious:

Too few games that supported 2 (or more) button controllers. I still enjoy Deluxe Galaga with my 3rd-party CD32 controller.. you can change from music to SFX, adjust volume, skip tracks, pause... all from the controller....

Probly get flamed for this... But I actually find some use for the extra-halfbrite mode.... later versions of DPaint have an 'EHB' mode, maybe useless to many, but makes it fairly easy to add shadows to moving objects... since each color has a version that is half the brightness... Brilliant! (OK, not really, but I thought it was kinda cool...)

:hammer:

Hey save2600, I've heard of at least one person using a Toaster on a 500, but with a home-made Zorro adapter, because the Toaster needs a video slot...:afro: Man, I wish I had some of those mad skills....Bodega Bay, no video slot, I bet it could be modded, tho.....

I don't even have a 2000, but I can repeat what some people have told me... Lots of expansion room, and built like a tank...

The array of Zorro cards boggles the mind....

Oh, maybe I should actually reply to the topic.... :razz:

I agree the whole Kickstart idea could have been done better... Would there have been a way to make the Kickstart flash memory of some sort, and update it via software?  (firmware upgrades, etc) Although, TBH, firmware updates are a little scary for me.... only worked once, upgraded a Philips CD burner in my PC.....
