That is quite frankly one of the crappest reviews I've ever read in my life.  Talk about completely missing the point.

Thanks for wasting my time.

It was the fact he was reviewing an emulation package as if it was an operating system that I'm talking about.  Amiga Forever is quite clearly a retrospective, nostalgic product.

Not only that but he completely ignored the 2 discs of extra content, perhaps he might of got a clue from those what AF is about.

As did I.  Anyway, I don't see anyone else stepping up and writing better reviews (hint, hint)...


I don't see anyone sending me free copies of software to review (hint, hint)... ;-)

But that was problem, the actual product itself was pretty much ignored by the "review".  WinUAE offers the ability to choose a set up of a stock system quickly  (like A500, 1200 etc.)

Where is mention of the alternatives?  Where is the discussion of the configuration?  Is it easy to change configuration?  Did he encounter compatibility issues?  What software comes with the package?

So much was missed out.
