Hey all, getting back into things
« on: August 04, 2005, 03:40:07 PM »
'lo there :) I first got my a500 in the late 80's, and a few years after won a free a1200 from a magazine contest, then over the years I've retired them both to my closet but am now interested in getting an '030 board and a scandoubler to get back into some old school gaming!! I can't wait, just I know it will be difficult to get these parts and everything off ebay is from UK/Europe, virtually nothing available from the US.. What most excites me is being able to finally play ALL of those games that my poor vanilla a1200 could not play and to catch up on those games I never even knew about :)

cheers

Yes, I already have winuae installed and played a game or two.. but I don't know, there's just something nice about using an actual amiga, running all the games off the hard drive, using WB, going through my old floppies (if they haven't degraded by now :), without having to mess with the headaches of emulators and which settings work for which games, you know? It certainly is much more expensive to upgrade my a1200, but I think it is worth it :)

Thanks

I used to like lush back in the 90's, I even went to a few ride/lush shows and went backstage and met Miki.. she was really drunk, funny stuff.. Ride was great too, was my fav. band for a while there but this is what, 10+ years ago, I don't even remember how long :) As for Miki being an amiga user I had no idea! that's pretty damn cool though :)
