Anyone reccomending UAE over a REAL Amiga with WHDLoad is going to get a boot in the testiculae!

When you get the legit game though you get a nice glossy box, manual (with accompanying protection codes), a T-shirt maybe (Akira?), some stickers (Zool!) and the story of the game. You also have a backup should something go wrong with the game on the hard disk.

How do you play WinUAE on a proper communal display device like a large TV or projector? PC video out sucks, imagine the hassles of PAL/NTSC then!

Surely the whole thing with WinUAE is illegal since PCs can't read Amiga disks so how do they get the ADF in the first place? The chances of old viruses re-appearing is also great - BOBEK2 anyone!?

I can see the appeal of keeping a laptop with WinUAE since noone has made a truly portable Amiga (PAWS most certainly does not count), but for the full multimedia experience I'd say the 'Real McCoy' is your best bet.

Shame on you for suggesting otherwise, Father.
