Kim Dot Com Documentary Shows a Amiga 500

Software piracy owes a lot to the amiga.

And the amiga owes a lot to software piracy.  I only bought an A500 because I couldn't afford the expensive SNES carts, and the seller gave a me a box 80 floppies of games.

Later there was the local dude with the 68040 Warp Engine A4000 and scsi box full of drives and CD Burners with an unbelievably complex-looking DOpus screen doing I-don't-how many copies/downloads/Arexxing some database.  Very ahem professional.

It was a natural progression that amiga pirates moved on to bigger and better endeavours.

1.  In 1995, an Amiga game new was $70 AUD.  A new PS4 game today is selling for less.  That was if you could actually find someone selling them.  I did buy Slam Tilt.  Kids today seem to get money given to them to buy-we didn't

2. A £199 A1200 Magic pack was $1400 AUD.  2 MB no hard drive.  Ridiculous

3. I realized amiga games were not that interesting.  Most of those discs didn't get played.  Instead I bought CU Amiga and got into DPaint/mage FX and Real 3d.

4.  A1200 followed, new Apollo 68040 followed, tower case followed, Art Effect followed, Cinema 4D followed, Wordworth Office followed, Photogenics followed, Brilliance followed all new.

I neither helped nor hindered the amiga games market.  It was dead by the time I got there.
