Pinball dreams killed my......
« on: September 18, 2007, 04:47:48 PM »
Pinball dreams killed my shift keys!! back in the good old days yada yada yada, my Amiga 500 used to get a right bashing on a sunday night before school.

Me and my bro would bounce that little ball around the screen and more than once frustration we would smack the shift keys, as the balls flyed between my pads and into the hole. In the end I had one keys spring gone to heaven and the other on the way out, only opening the keyboard and stuffing a folder bit of paper under it seemed to make it work.

So, if I had a terminator style time machine, I would go back and stop the developement of the Pinball series as I reckon many keys lives would of been saved and my A500 would still work.

PS: I hope my confession here, does not bring to many tears to Amiga lovers at the poor treatment of my Amiga, what can I say, I was young and reckless (I wish)

Dont wory guys I am fresh out of batteries for my matter time transporter right now, so going back will have to wait.

I had Pinball Fantasys and Illusions and loaded Illusions for the first time in years the other day and my wife (not computer game friendly) said, this is fun, why arnt more of your games like this and not shooting something. I guess she had a point, it does seem that alot of the games today are more about blowing something up.

Now where did I put that battery charger...

Wireless Keyboard for the Amiga... how does that work. What does it interface to. Sounds interesting.

Cheers
