How much and how do you use your Amiga

[BozzerBigD]

It's more of a guilty pleasure blast than a regular thing! Deluxe Paint V animation once a month and the odd game a Rainbow Islands, Deluxe PacMan or Aladdin with my daughter. Had a 6 hour marathon of Dune on the weekend. That's as close to an RPG game as I get. Forget Zelda, Dune rocks for atmosphere with  great blend of adventure, resource management and RPG. Can't beat the Amiga centric colour palette effects and pixelating spice communication scenes! Awesome. And don't get me started on the music! One word.... hypnotic ;-)

also sat in a box for preservation purposes

Perserved for when, who or what reason? Either donate it to a museum, use it/show your children or nephew/niece or sell it. These machines are to be used or the capacitors/batteries go to hell anyway! What a waste. It just makes Amigas artificially rare on eBay/Amibay!

HunoPPC ported Alien vs Predator (2000) to AmigaOS! That's awesome! I loved the 2nd game but I've heard this is just as good! Great job ;-)

It's a good idea to get that nephew of yours enthused about the 'miggy.

A) We need fresh blood in this community.
B) We are the only generation standing in the way of a purely touch screen computer game generation.

I aim to get my daughter playing Aladdin and Deleuxe Pacman and maybe even Ruff N' Tumble before her 4th birthday ;-)

She's nearly there!

I hope the SX-1 is treating you well. Mine was a bit unstable with the addition of a 2.5" hard drive AND 8mb SIMM module. Either one or the other was fine but not both! Yes, I had a beefed up power supply, but the SX32 was a far better machine IMHO.
