Hello from Scotland!
« on: January 22, 2008, 10:42:42 AM »
Hi everyone, i've just stumbled upon your forums, i've been a big fan of the Amiga from the early days.
My first Amiga was a A500+ -i had some great gaming moments on that machine- loved Project X, Magic Pockets, Super Frog, Alien Breed, Chaos Engine - i could go on all day.
I then moved on to the A1200- I still have mine- i've went out and got a Blizzard 030 accelerator so i could play Alien Breed 3d on it- what a difference!
Anyway- i've been following the Amiga on and off since then.
My current Amiga set up consists of
A1200 + 128 meg Sim + Blizzard 040 + 720 meg hard drive + Picasso graphics thingy.

I also have my old amiga 1200 + 32meg Sim + Blizzard 030 + 120 meg hard drive

oh and a A500 + 1/2meg upgrade
and a CD32

I've also got various bits and pieces of Amigas lying about for spares too.

Its a fantastic computer -loved the gaming side of it- got to grips with AMOS and Blitz Basic - and I still fire the old machine up for the odd game of Tower Assault.

Luckily I have a very understanding wife who doesn't mind all my computing stuff lying around- i have a small room in  my house to keep it all together and ready to play- whenever i get a few spare minutes.

Im from Glasgow- or Bearsden to be more precise.

Hello to everyone else- seems a friendly place!

-i'm always on the lookout for interesting Amiga related stuff- i used to subscribe to Amiga Format (remember that mag) -but then it folded.

So, i'll check out the forums and post when i can if i feel i've anything noteworthy to contribute.


Here is a link to my retro- collection- as you can see i collect most games consoles- not just Amiga.

The Vic20 was my first computer I ever owned- I loved programming it in Vic Basic and even mastered a bit of Machine code.

Favourite games on the Vic were Jetpac, Lazer Zone, Matrix, Vic Panic and Dodo Lair.

-ah -happy memories!
