1989 A500 1.3 Roms but came with 1.2 Workbench and the Very First Disk. That was cool.

Bought an 512K A501 (£150) at the same time with Dragons Lair / AfterBurner / Purple Saturn Day.

It came from Evesham Micros in Birmingham, UK.

First thing was playing around with Basic and the Music demo that drawed the straight lines on the screen then ended up in a circle.

Still got it and it still works a treat to this day. Playing Cannon Fodder / Sensi Soccer on a 32" widescreen TV with a Scart Lead is impressive even today. Who needs a PS2

Still got Dragons Lair and the copy of ST-Amiga Format I got given free with it.

Nostalgia Rocks... Going for a game of commando now... :-)
