3 more NatAmi's - Yippee!

[smerf]

I think Piru feels threatened by the NatAmi, simple reason being that when it becomes available we will truly have a "new" Amiga that can run at speeds unheard of before (even with a PPC board), ease of use for adding things like HD's DVD writers etc... but most of all the threat comes from the fact that it's 68K (so to speak) and will run 3.x at speed we could only ever dream about before...


Yeah, and Cloanto's Amiga Forever runs about 5 times faster than you could dream about before. The only thing is you don't want to buy an advanced up to date computer to try it.

Piru, you shouldn't worry that this will stop people using MorphOS or that you'll lose custom because of it, as I reckon most MorphOS users are too mean anyway to shell out the cash that a NatAmi will cost, so you and the hundred or so MorphOS users can go on with your system while the rest of us real Amigans enjoy the dream machine we have waited so long for...

Yeah, I want to shell out the cash, for another Amiga want to be that isn't up to date, or as fast as a so called piece of trash PC machine. The legacy lives on. YIPPPEEEE!!!

Hi,

@HenryCase,

You want an  idea how to stress test your machine, the royal great Natami, have it play FarCry, Crysis, or Fallout 3. Then you will catch my interest, and I will definetly buy. Ubisoft started with Amiga, and with a few kind words they might just try porting it over to your machine (if it is good enough).

Don't get me wrong, but to me anything under 2.4 ghz is a total waste of time.

Hi Smerf...

Where you been you grumpy old fart...

Anyhoo... you aint got not taste man and you're far too sensible to appreciate what sploshing the dosh on a brand new outa date bit of hardware really means...

You stick to crappy PC's and leave the Amiga Legacy & Tradition to be proudly continued by us loonies who know a real computer when we see one...

Cheers

PS: Did they manage to get all one hundered and eleventeen candle on your birthday cake...

EDIT: Oi... cheat you've just gone and an changed yer avy-tar...

Hi,

Have a bunch of real computers, An Amiga 4000, Amiga 1200, Amiga 3000, Amiga 500, CD32 with SX-1, and Cloanto's Amiga Forever.

Franko,

Just bustin ya, I will wait and see, wait for the Amiga people to go out and buy one, and see how they like it. If they praise it, I will probably buy one, but I still think that anything under 2.4 ghz is slow, but then again, in real time not computer time, windows is one big bloat machine, just don't understand how I could have a 6 core 3.2 ghz machine that is slower than my A4000 while running windows. I feel like I am back in the C64 days when I turn on my Quad core today, I start it then go make a cup of coffee while loading windows up. Once it gets up and running it is pretty good, and I play a bunch of games that stress's out the machine.

Lately I have been playing the add ons to Fallout New Vegas, the deadmans hearts game is just awsome, old world blues was pretty good, but broken hearts was just awful, took me only 4 hours to beat it. Getting ready to download Crysis 2, (I think) lost track of numbers, getting old you know, on my 112th birtday don't you know.

One thing I found out about PC games, you can beat them, try saying that about most Amiga games, they are very frustrating, but the one thing I liked about Amiga games is that they keep track of high scores which makes them a lot of fun.

Just a matter of what you call a real game.

by the way I changed my avatar back to the original, I thought the last one was a little cheesy ;-)

Yeah, port Fallout 3 to NatAmi and have people see it demoed as an underpowered PC as opposed to seeing something actually designed for its capabilities? That's a good idea.

I still cannot fathom this mindset that the only true measure of success for an Amigoid project is to be capable of copying everything the mainstream industry is doing. If your goal for such a project is just to become exactly like the industry standard, what the hell is the point? Just don't bother at all.

What the hell are you doing here, then?

Hi,

When the Amgia first came out, it was a top of the line futuristic machine. It was doing things that no other computer could do, that is why we all liked and purchased the Amiga.
Actually copying the mainstream industry today is just about what any computer should do. It would be hard to think up something new for a computer today. I don't want to see a copied little bit faster imitation Amiga coming out, I want to see something come out that could uphold the orginal Amiga, a machine that can take crysis and twirl it around it's space bar. I want new innovation, not copy cat tech. Apple changed, people cried, then went on with business as usual. What am I doing here?

You all cry about Cloanto's Amiga forever not being a real Amiga, yet it is using the latest hardware with the latest tech, just like the ORIGINAL AMIGA, yet you all want to see a redone out of date computer come to being.

My question to you is

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?

THE ORIGINAL AMIGA WAS ABOUT INNOVATION, IT DIDN'T COPY ANY OTHER COMPUTER, IT WAS THE LATEST AND THE BEST, AND I WON'T LET ANY OTHER FAKE, IMMATATING SYSTEM TRY TO STEAL AWAY THE ORIGINAL AMIGA'S LEGACY.
