Convince me

[James1095]

It's mostly about nostalgia for me, and it's fun to play with vintage hardware, takes me back to a simpler time. For my day to day work I use a modern Win7 PC but Amigas are fun. If it doesn't excite you anymore then sell the hardware to somebody else and let them enjoy it, I'm not going to try to convince you to keep it, either it interests you or it doesn't. There's nothing you can *do* on a vintage Amiga that you can't do on a modern commodity PC, that's not the point.

Yeah I don't get why anyone wants to play Quake on an Amiga either. The Amiga was already long in the tooth by the time Quake came out, an old Pentium II with a Voodoo card will give a far better Quake experience for a lot less money.

So will a Pentium1, heck even a faster 486.  

Really though I don't think it matters. Whatever people want to play it on is as valid as the next persons choice.

I guess I did play it on a P-133, what really made the difference was the Voodoo 3D accelerator, I still remember being blown away the first time I played Quake with one of those.

Sure it's valid, it just seems a bit silly to spend loads of money to have an inferior experience with a game that was shoehorned onto the Amiga later on when there are so many great classic Amiga games that didn't make it to other platforms.
