Just to take the other communities that I participate, the MSX community have at least three contests each year:

Passion MSX
Konamito Basic Game Contest
And finally MSXDEV

For MSXDEV (http://msxdev.msxblue.com/), community produce several new games every year. Just for this contest, the total number of entries (for all years) is an amazing 83! (http://msxdev.msxblue.com/gameindex.htm)

Any ideas about why that's not too common in the Amiga Community?


Hi,

@hbarcellos

I have already been flammed for this, but at one time I mentioned to a person that he should buy a PC and just run an amiga emulator on it because:

1. No software is being developed.
2. The only thing you can do with an Amiga is put on a new OS and look at it.

Now we all know that a computer without software is just another doorstop. If you don't like a doorstop look on aminet and see instructions on how to turn a MAC into a fishbowl, now apply that to an Amiga.

Now for everone to flame me again:

Do you think this bunch of loonies can really program? I am surprised that most know how to use a keyboard. (oh thats right the Amiga is also mouse driven).

Most of them have already moved over to the MAC because all they want to do is just turn on a computer and surf the web.

These guys program!!!

Oh well thats why I keep comming back to Amiga Org. It brings a bright spot back into my day.

I have no idea what your talking about, so here is a doggy with a small pancake on his head.

MorphOS is a MAC done a little better
