The End Is Nigh! - CU_AMiGA Leaving Amiga Scene?
« on: August 10, 2004, 11:30:46 PM »
The unthinkable is approaching, the unimaginable is happening! The newly arrived Neo Geo AES system that i have just spent on is now taking over my professional gaming! :-) My Amiga is now nothing but a shadow of its former beastly setup. Months of costs and being ripped off has now finally taken its toll on me and i am on the verge of quitting altogether in favour of the slightly cheaper Neo Geo setup. I am already selling items on Amibench such as simms and Tower cases in order to raise money for me but i am not ready to quit fully just yet but it is nearing.

Hello,

@redrumload

The guy who ripped me and many others off is someone called "Bernd Binder". You can read the whole fiasco here:

I will hand onto my A1200 for now in its very basic type, but will need a desktop case. I have had no luck in finding a cheap 060 accelerator.

Damn!

I was denied on ebay of getting a cheap Apple Mac with 500mhz G3 PPC - for £60!

Right i am negotiating with someone over buying an iMAC G3 700mhz computer. Then i will see how Amiga emulation goes with that. If not, then i will stick with a A1200D for gaming. I am selling my A1200 Power Tower / parts anyway.

@Speel

:lol: I got rid of my A500 for an Amiga enthusiast about 3 years ago. But i will keep my A1200 desktop for gaming purposes. I don't intend on doing anything else with it as that will be left for the Mac to do.
