What a great idea!!! :-D

There should be really a games-console from Amiga with name Amiga in it! ;-)

That would let the name be famous again, so people would say: Hey, isn't that new Amiga console the one i knew 15 years ago? Maybe it has same quality games! I better should go and buy one for test! :-)

That's what i would say when something like an Amiga branded console would come out.

And then it would rock when there are some oldies included in the pack. Games like Turrican Trilogy or Shadow Of The Beast Trilogy, the old best 2D classics, even maybe just emulated, or better, rewritten for native use.

Then there should be no real OS, a games console doesn't need an OS, but still there should be an option to upgrade to an OS with HDD etc :-)

Btw, speaking of OS, there should be a simple interface to fully access DVD's, VCD's, SVCD's, CDDA's and even handle to play mp3's and DivX! I hated Sony for integrating DVD-Player option for PS2 but leaving out VCD/SVCD! That sucked.

So, i guess an "Amiga Eleven" console would rock! Why Amiga Eleven? Hmm, because Eleven means "Elf" in german, and when i checked (hexread) the PPC executables (also the PS2 executables have this), the first 4 bytes are ".ELF". So i thought something like that would be cool. And sounds also nice, or not? :-)
Btw, why leaving a single PPC processor on the board? Isn't there enough room for 2 PPC's? ;-)

Amiga Eleven would be some advertising for the Computer/OS also. People would think: Hey, AmigaEleven is great! What about the AmigaOne? Maybe same quality and good software? Good games on it too? :-)

Speaking about games, porting games from AmigaEleven to AmigaOne would be easier then ;-)

Yummy, even the thought about this makes me dizzy, seeing quality Konami/Capcom/Sega games ported (no lame conversions from bad developers anymore!!!!) to AmigaOne! Ooooh ;-)

A bit off-topic, but i had to say that too now:
I also think that bad conversions participated for the death of amiga. After seeing games in the arcades, then buying the Amiga versions was always a dissappointment for me. Sure there are good conversions, but 70% of them suck. The consoles (SuperNES/SegaMegaDrive) had always the better conversions. That's why people went to consoles instead of using Amiga. My best example? Just try to remember Super Street Fighter II Turbo from the arcades, and then look at the Amiga conversion! :-(
SuperNES/MegaDrive versions were much much better, even gfx were not that close like in the Amiga version, but playability was better in them. :-(
