After seeing a lot of posts about "pure nostalgia", I think I'm gonna throw a bit of a twist or spin in this thread.
I'm completely new to the Amiga. I don't even own one. I've simply only recently started emulating it for not even a full year now and I find it incredibly charming. There really is something magical about this machine that's drawing me in.
No nostalgia here. Although I am a C64 guy, so I'm thinking that might contribute a bit to it. Though, the games I've played have something to them that I love. That rough "home made" quality in a time when people were still experimenting and just making things they wanted to make because it was cool to them, or they were young and they just wanted to share those dreams and ideas in some form or another with others from the comfort of their bedrooms. It's very heartwarming indeed.
It's definitely got something special about it, and I could see myself using an Amiga a lot if I got one in this day and age. It was from a time when imagination and wonder was still strong, and seeing the Amiga embrace that and fully encourage it, that is hugely intriguing to me.
