Returning to Amiga
« on: April 18, 2009, 08:10:36 AM »
Hello everyone!

I want to introduce myself. I was an Amiga user since late 80s until 1997 or 98 when I was absorbed by the evil MS-Win world... (blame my job and some games like Blood and Red Alert). Now I'm coming back to Amiga.

I've been following the forums on this site for quite some time, but it wasn't until now that I decided to register and post.

Back in the day I started with a 500 and then a 1200. I liked programming in AMOS (there's a very simple game I made in Aminet, in game/jump called FlashFlood). I still like programming (hopefully I'm better now ;-) ) and I'm looking forward to see how's programming for 3.9 / 4.0. I was using WinUAE for a while, but as good as it is, it only made me want to have a real Amiga even more.

I still have my computers, never sold them, and now thanks to Dragster (who's a regular user here and a personal friend of mine) I rescued a mistreated 4000D that I'm slowly and sometimes painfully bringing back to life. That's the machine I intend to make my main Amiga system. Wish me luck :-)

Well, nothing more for now... glad to be here, see you everyone!!

How about a nice AGA version of your old game  :-D


Honeslty, I don't think that would be an advantage... it is *literally* a very simple game, actually is just a remake of an old C64 game from Ahoy! magazine...

@everyone
Thanks for your welcome! Surely I'll be checking MorphOS. I tried AROS some time ago but now I'm seeing that it even self-compiles... I think I'll give it another try...

About the SAM, I've been reading about it and the new AmigaOS 4.1. I hope by year's end I'll have the money to buy one.

See ya!!

@freqmax

I really like both of them... specially the Natami. For what I've read, many think of it as a "Seeing is believing" thing. For me, I would really love to see that one finished as planned, it would be like "the Amiga that Commodore should... but didn't because..." well you know what I mean ;-)

@all

Thanks again for your welcome! I hope to contribute something to the community.

See ya!
