Hi to all Amiga Owners past and present.
Just spent a day downloading Mods written for the fantastic demos that I used to own :cry:( before I was forced to sell my beloved Amiga A500 1Mb 1.2) which was above 3 years ago. Never occured to me that there was a scene for Amiga lovers and subsquently lost all my demos in the sale :cry:.
Anyhow purchased the above mentioned unit in 1989 when it was around the £599 mark but the company that sold it too me had a deal to hard to resist. Trade in any computer and we will reduce the price by £100.:-P So into the loft I went and out came my rubber keyed 48k Spectrum which had been sat up there for 3 years after I got my Spectrum 128. In the post went the computer and my cheque for £499. 16th December 1989 it arrived complete with Deluxe Paint. First Game I bought was Accolade's Test Drive but as it was an Xmas present I was not allowed to use it for a week. However couldn't resist so when the parents used to go out I would get it out and play with it. Plus selling my 128k Spectrum meant that in all my new Amiga cost me £325 which I suppose was not too bad.
Last two games I bought were Wicked and Speedball 2.
Favourite Games - Speedball 1 and 2 + Elite (with the Sara Code was even better)
Worst game - Starfleet (Crap graphics and virtually impossible)
All in all I think when I sold my Amiga there were around 90 - 100 original games and as a complete mug it went for £105 (Doh)
Wrote about 30 Mods and always wanted to send them away but never knew where to send them. So they ended up in my cheesey AMOS Demo programs.:-P
