Re: Amiga - It Outlived Them All...

Quote from: Franko;642003
Been wandering round the net looking to see which other old home computers still hold as much feeling and meaning to people as the Amiga does. To be honest apart from the C64 and the odd Atari sites most seem to be long forgotten and the sites last posted on years ago... :)

I was going to put together a wee musical video that kind of shows how so many of these old home computers (not consoles) have been and gone over the years and now seem to have faded from most folks memories, while the Amiga still goes on... :)

With new hardware and new systems still being developed for the Amiga in 2011 and lively debates still going strong on the forums and new/ old users coming back what seems like every day to the Amiga scene, I've come up with the list below of some of the home computers that I can remember (I'm sure there were lots more) that seem to have faded into obscurity... :)

Can anyone recall any others that the Amiga has outlived to add to this wee list and that I can include in this wee video project... :)

Oric 1 1983
Oric Atmos 1983
ZX 80 1980
ZX 81 1981
ZX Spectrum 1982
ZX Spectrum+ 1984
ZX Spectrum 128 1985
Sinclair QL 1984
Dragon 32 1982
BBC Micro 1981
Amstrad CPC 1984
Atari Falcon 1992
Atari ST 1985
Atari Mega STE 1991
Atari 400/800 1979
Atari 1200 XL 1982
Atari 65/130 XE 1985


I think for somebody who claims to have learned so much about the internet in just a few months you seem to be pretty ignorant.

There's loads of new hardware and/or software for the following systems:

ZX 81 1981
ZX Spectrum 1982
ZX Spectrum+ 1984
ZX Spectrum 128 1985
Amstrad CPC 1984
Atari 400/800 1979
Atari 1200 XL 1982
Atari 65/130 XE 1985

I don't know about the other systems because I don't follow them closely but I suspect they are also pretty much alive.

If you want links I can provide them, but since you know so much, you would have no problem finding them yourself.

PS: I won't even bother to tell you what you can do with your links, I'll leave that to your imagination which seems as dull as you... :)


Those are your own words which you like to post over and over again on this forum and others.

What are some of the website forums for the Atari computers (not consoles) or others that have comparable traffic to Amiga.org?



Just a few links to Atari 8bit forums and new hard/software:

I believe you... millions wouldn't... ;)

PS: where are all these other sites you claim I post on :confused:


Just right here on this forum, several times (I can't be bothered to look them up because you have a nasty habbit of removing your own posts) and on AWN and of course the MOO (which I do read BTW).

GEEEEEZUZ! The above proves you & Franco go to the same sites!  :lol:


GEEEEEZUZ! to you too, you claimed I post there which I don't. Now be quiet and reread again what you wrote.

No, I asked for websites with comparable traffic that are *not* Atari console websites.   For instance, where is the Atari ST website with comparable traffic to Amiga.org ?  If it exists, let me know.


Did you even bother to go to these sites, they are mostly about 8bit Atari home computers and NOT about consoles.

OK, whatever.... so what you're saying is that you read Franko's posts on other forums but you don't post there. K.......


Yes, is it wrong to visit forums and not post there? I've got better things to do. Now just admit you where wrong or prove I post on said forums.

Fur Gawds sake why you gotta bring GEEEEEZUZ into this now... :(

Poor bloke got nailed to a big lump of wood to save sinners like you, you know, show a bit of respect for Christies sake... :)


As you may have noticed (but conveniantly overlooked) I didn't start with the GEEEEEZUZ stuff.

You do post on MooBummy, told you I've smelt you there before and that's all the proof I need... ;)


Say's the proven Moobunny poster himself but that's not proof enough, please give me an example ;)

PS:That's a bit of a dumb thing to say "I've got better things to do" while your talking about visiting MooBummy... :)


You may be right about that ;), every post with a Franko in it is a waste of time... ;)

Damn... ;)

See I can use meaningless smilies too in every sentence I post if I want to ;)

I didn't "conveniantly overlook" it, I deliberately overlooked it cos I like Gizmo350 and I don't like you, there's a big difference you know... ;)


Oh dear me ;)
