Well my Buck Rogers:Planet Zoom+++ game may still come out one day. I am always on the lookout for an A1000 hard drive or an A2000 motherboard and internal FDD drive so there is that.

It's just not possible to code up game engines that rely heavily on the copper for subtle depth cueing but use only 4 colours only via WinUAE and LCD HD monitors with no scanlines and square pixels (CRTs have round pixel definition with red/blue shift)....may look great on a real Amiga but would look pretty iffy on a high end 20" 1080p LCD so it just destroys your creative spirit (hence project is stalled).

I like the creative possibilities that Amiga can still be used to pass the time with, hell I even connected up Digiview to a 16 megapixel digital camera once to get the best possible Dynamic HAM/Hi-Res images out of the old girl :)

And today I converted some mini movies to HAM just to be amazed they weren't telling porkies about 25FPS in 1985 re: A1000 launch.

The bottom line is if you enjoy Amiga then you will find other people to have friendly chats with, I think the only reason there is a problem is the whole NG Amiga rubbish going on in the three camps. If you stick to JUST actual Commodore machines you will make many friends for sure.
