I'm wondering what are the programs that the so called Classic users wants.

My opinion is probably unpopular..but I'd bail on classic stuff and just spend a majority of time for MorphOS and OS4 software.  I wouldnt even bother buying any new Classic software.

Yes your opinion is "unpopular". You seem to forget what most users in the community still have. A small hint: "not AROS, MorphOS and AmigaOS" :)


The push to have new software for an old platform that you cant buy newer, more powerful hardware for, to me isnt a good idea.  I understand..its "cool" to use old Amiga's and run newer apps that push our Amiga's to limits they never saw back in the 90's... but there are 2 really good NG OS's to choose from in OS4 and MorphOS that should have the  most developers concentrating on developing software that showcases their strong points.    I'm for running old Amiga's..but I see their time is done and also their limitations.

new hardware is on the way, most software is 68k, most dev environments are 68k, most documentation is 68k, most users are 68k users (without owning and using AmigaOS or MorphOS). As you said it has some coolness factor f.e. to run DOS games in a amiga environment. I do not see the same when using it on "alien" hardware (people might see that different :) )


..and thats probably the main reason the Amiga never became anything other than a flash in the pan.  Everything was made to be compatible with an Amiga 500.  512k ram, 1 floppy.   If a majority of people think "all new hardware is alien", then they'll be stuck with software thats for underpowered machines instead of working on NG OS software.  But different strokes for different folks.. not my deal.  I have other hobbies I spend money on.  :-)

I do understand the nostalgia of what you are talking about..dont get me wrong..I just think the dev work is mis-guided.
