And what about the Amiga nemesis SEGA?

I like the Sega Megadrive (Genesis). It had great graphics and speed, which put the SNES to shame at times. The sound was good as well, check out the Sonic games! Now that brings back some memories! :-)

But the bottom line is:

Amiga is clearly a better mint!


Couldn't Mega Drives be put into Towers and used like PCs i heard about from somewhere?!

I personally like the Sega Dreamcast. That was a lovely piece of hardware, and deserved much better than what it did. Quake 3, Virtua Tennis, Jet Set Radio, Chu Chu Rocket, Shenmue and loads of quality games that Playstation 2 owners wouldn't know the meaning of.

Genesis was a good machine at it's time, but once you got it, you couldn't do more than playing arcade-like games... the amiga could word-process, calculate, run DPaint, program, run adventure games and was upgradeable. In theory, if you have an A500 with an internal 030 accel. 4 megs Fast Ram, 3.1 roms (are there any for the A500?) and a GVP hard-drive, you can run OS 3.9 right?

Yes all that is possible. Accelerater, Ram, Hard Drive and the ROMs. An Amiga 500 can be made like an Amiga 2000. Are there anybody out there with a setuip like this?

Yes. I loved AmiMasterGear as well. Can this be played under a Blizzard PPC and graphics card?

I wish AmiMasterGear would run on my setup. If only there was a patch for it to run on my setup up. Then i'd be happy, at the moment, it runs far too fast! :-(

AmiGenerator is okay, i used the PPC version, and runs okay with no sound on. Never could get the 040 version going though. :-/

AmiMasterGear is released as GPL. The latest update wasn't made by the author (who doesn't work on it anymore), so there is possibility that it can be updated for the modern Amigas as well.

Sadly no! I have already tried it. Thanks anyway though.
