Hi

T'was about 1988ish when I first saw an Amiga... and was at the time much more into Atari as a friend had one - I couldn't see the point of no midi port as standard (even though my friend didn't use midi on his ST).

Anyhows, jumping to 1990ish onwards some friends and I would spend EVERY (and I do literally mean EVERY) evening after school + weekends (although weekends eventually became for RPGs - what geeks we were!) playing on an A500 + 512kb upgrade.

I remember Bloodwych 2-player, and some flight "sim" with a green floor, blue sky and wireframe planes (the best was the paper aeroplane) doing dog-fights... and Beach Volley, North and South, etc.

I was absolutely gobsmacked by the quality of the games - then in 1993 for my 18th birthday my dad asked if I wanted a PC and I was all "no no it has to HAS TO be an A1200" - I got the A1200, booted it up and saw wb3.0 - and immediately started tinkering with it for hours - awesome fun.

Year later got a 170mb HDD from my parents (cost over £300!).

I think I could write a book on how much fun I've had with the miggy.
