Place to buy a new amiga and recommended software
« on: July 13, 2009, 09:48:16 AM »
Hi

After viewing a couple of Amiga OS4 videos on YouTube I am impressed with OS4 and want to buy a machine but have no idea where to go.

Is there a website or a guide anywhere with a list of what hardware you can buy and a software guide including the best professional applications as well as recommended free application as well as games.

It appears from the comments on YouTube videos im not alone, I think it would be an excellent idea to have a web page somewhere with all the information on as newbies like me don't know whats new and whats recommended.

To me YouTube is an excellent advertising route for Amiga as its got me interested again after a 6 year break. Just wish most of the videos weren't recorded with a shakey blurred camera :)

So.. where can I go to get a list of essential hard and software guys?

Shame that Samflex board only takes 1GB of ram.. I know Amigas dont use much but still, ram is dirt cheap.

Any good places to go for commercial games? I know Hyperion used to rule the roost back in the day, is there any others I should be aware of? Also, any cool demos to recommend?

Finally, what would you say were the major differences between OS3.9 and OS4.1?

Ongoing legal battle??

You'll have to post your experiences with the sam board when it arrives. Does it come with the G4 or G3 processor do you know?
