I am sorry to say I have lost my Amiga mo-jo

And also somehow picked up the bitterness of Doomy (or whatever that singing retard is called) sadly :(

The scene seems dead because unlike other retro platforms there doesn't really seem to be anyone pushing the old dog as far as homebrew games go, everything is of PD/Acorn Archimedes quality which has a whiff of cheapness to it. Did everyone else who could code technically impressive games just give up like me too?

It just seems like such a struggle these days to replace broken machines or find certain things that nobody bothers to re-manufacture and there are just so many really questionable decisions going on with hardware projects.

So for me, I think it's time to finally let go of my stuff on pi$$-bay. Amiga was great, Amiga 1000 will ALWAYS be the best computer EVER launched (in the same way Ayrton Senna will always be the most talented Formula 1 driver despite being dead 2 decades) BUT it's time to end this chapter of my life.

It's been a pleasure talking to some of you, was even great fun working on a game for the old girl too for a while back, I just don't have $$ to invest in this AND the other 60 or so machines I collect (most of which are also going soon enough).

See you in another life brother :)

The only thing I have of any notable value is my MIB A1000 from 86, one of which went for nearly £300 on a regular [pe]e-bay auction this week, which I will keep with the original Digi-View I eventually found by chance.

Not really got much use for a stack of 2000/500/600 miggys which need parts like m/b or floppy drives or my not very well looked after originally purchased C= A1200 on launch day etc and I rarely play the real games none of which are the ones that people go nuts for and spend £100s on.
