Perhaps I should have introduced myself earlier...
« on: June 25, 2004, 02:24:23 PM »
Greetings all! I am an Amiga user since 1991, when I got my first game, F-19 Stealth Fighter- free with a Philips monitor. Great, except I was 6 at the time.

Yes, I'm not the oldest forum member (but then again, 19 maybe isn't the youngest either). I have had many years of Amiga gaming joy, first with the 500+ (the plus stood for...er, more fun?), moving onwards to an Amiga 1200/'030 running at 50Mhz, getting 32MB extra memory just at the time when the world seemed to run out of memory SIMMs and the price of them doubled. Darn.

Well, I must say this site here is rather splendid, and provides the main source of any Amiga-related news today. The forum provides a few heated debates (say that 'ooh, the people who own Amiga aren't all that bad, i'm sure I'll receive my t-shirt soon...' and see how many raised eyebrows you get in return), but can also be a home of rational discussion.

I look forward to providing more sparkling observations and arguments that are bound to fail...:-D

Cheerio for now...

Yes, my username is The Power of the ginger, named after the Backbone-created PD game I did. It's....colourful, and contains Joseph Stalin, of all people. It was funny at the time, I guess...thankfully now I'm much more sophisticated, and daily watch episodes of Knightmare on Challenge in an effort to recapture my youth.

T-POT_G, as I christened the game (pronounced 'teapot g'- the g stood for nothing, nor did the teapot. It just sounded good), sold 0 copies, fittingly. Well, 4 pounds for something that was available free in the form of Emilio Perez's Charly the Mercenary was a bit expensive.

I'll release the game on Aminet soon, when I can fit it onto floppy disks somehow...and when I've polished it a bit.
