My 1st computer was a Tandy Trs80 Coco1. Got it expanded from 4KB to 64KB which greatly enhanced the experience (the upgrade added extras other than just RAM). After that came the Microbee, and then c64. Amiga was next and Ive not strayed from it yet. In recent years however, via emulation, Ive checked out most other machines that I'd read about in computer magazines I read as a kid and find that nostalgia is present for most of these machines (even though they were the enemy at the time), particularly speccy and amstrad cpc. The two retro machines that I have most interest in other than the amiga though would be the c64 and tandy coco's (particularly model 3, as it was significantly enhanced over what I had a child (gauntlet2 for coco3 for example looks quite similar to amiga/atari st versions, despite being an 8bit machine with only 64 colors)).
Man, day's gone by hey ?   :)
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

@Franko

I've seen you mention a few times about you liking SNES style RPG's, and the C64. Unfortunately the game was never completed, but I thought this might be of interest to you if you've not seen it before:

Looks great, and the demo plays quite smoothly. Just a shame there's not more to it.
