@ uncharted

I remember when I was younger my dad took me to Game to buy my first console and I had a choice between A1200 Magic Pack (no cd32's seemed to be about even tho that was my first choice), A snes or a playstion. My dad forced me to get a playstation as he said amiga was dead. I got the playstation, got it chipped and broke the lazer :P so i went back to amiga. Its rather surreal remembering that all those very different consoles rivaling each other in the shop.

I also remember in Whsmith they used to stock Amiga Format, Cu Amiga, Amiga Shopper. The shelves where very full of amiga :D Now I go in grab the copy of micromart and check out that half page 'amiga mart'. Its sad that amiga active went bankrupt. Its still good to see amiga news on the stand  no matter how small.

I also remeber an amiga shop in derby or mansfield or somewhere in the midlands. It was very professional and rammed full of games and systems. I was rather young so I cannot remeber anymore details.
