What you really mean is that you preferred to pay nothing to game developers than pay too much. It is misleading to say you couldn't afford £50+ consoles cartridges as you (and many others) weren't prepared to pay even £20 to £29.99 for AAA Amiga games. You fleeced ALL valuable Amiga game developers by stealing and hence helped contribute to the demise of the Amiga platform.

I once saw someone had hand drawn all the symbols from The Settlers game manual in order to defeat the copy protection. It must have taken them hours if not a couple of days. The game was available at Electronic Boutique at the time for £9.99. The same with the black reflective Team17 code booklets! Rather than go and work at a shop for a couple of days to earn the money to buy a game the Amiga Piracy Morons would prefer to 'waste' that time copying code books by hand to photocopy for their mates. Sad times and a disgrace to the platform.

Ever heard of a paper round? I remember saving up £2 a week to buy a Goliath 200W power supply from a gate takings type job I used to do to help my mum every week. It took a while but it was possible. Also, I got Xtreme Racing off Amiga Computing magazine cover disks on the cheap (but still legal) and then bought the additional data disks no problem as they were only £14.99. These weren't SNES prices and kids could afford them. PD games were even cheaper and loads were really good!
