Re: Amiga guilt and time distortion.

For me personally I hated to see the slow death of Amiga.  When Commodore folded, I was still holding out hope.
 
I remember seeing some of the 386 VGA flight sim games and comparing them to the Amiga versions.  The multicoloured sky and how the ground changed colour into the distance, just made the game so realistic!
 
Games like TFX, A10 Tank Killer, F15 Strike Eagle 2, F117A Stealth Fighter, Jef Fighter 2 (which was done by the same guy that did F18 Interceptor).
 
Having said that I missed the creativity software of the Amiga.  I missed Vista (scenery generator), Deluxe Paint, Amos, Octamed, etc.
 
It was C64 and then the Amiga that really got me interested in computers and has lead to my career path.  It is a shame that the Amiga did not succeed in the commercial world, but there is still a place in the world for the Amiga, even if it is here at Amiga.org just remembering the glory years of the Amiga!
