Hello from Turkey!
« on: September 07, 2010, 04:46:50 PM »
Hi there!

My Nick is "BingoBongo". I'm 29 years old and come from Istanbul/Turkey.

I buy my first computer in 1988 (C64). In 1990 i get an Amiga 500 with crazy 1 MEG RAM! :D

Now I'm working as developer at a well know software company from redmond ;)

Best regards
BingoBongo

PS: Amiga.org = cool forum + cool people!

Merhaba und thank you for the lovely welcome! ;)

In the 90s Turkey was a paradies for C64 and Amiga pirates.
You could buy the latest cracked games legaly in little shops.
The price was only 3-4 YTL (1-2 EUR) per disk.
I remember some shops around here with lists full of more than
1000 C64/Amiga games and more than 5000 disks in the shop!

What a crazy but great time. Memories!!! :roflmao:

And now...

Now i use basically Windows-PCs for develepment and gaming,
BUT i still have my old C64 and Amiga 500 with some nice games.
If friends visit my they pressure my to start some old games :D
