You know what I miss is big box games, ok dvd cases are great for space savers, but I always like the amiga games coming in a big box and all the nice art work that would be involved.

Tv shows like A-team and Knight Rider, where are these type of shows. Hell even sci fi, now with star trek, stargate, battlestar all over, there seem to be no sci fi space shows, however I do plan on checking out V.

PD market, use to be a stall in market that sell Public Domain game for something like £1 each or 6 for £5, every month I would make a point of going and getting my self some weird and wonderful little collections of games.

Kind of odd that the only Sci-Fi show going on is a remake of one from the 80s.  I saw the first few episodes of it, and as hot as Morena Baccarin is, it's missing Mark Singer.  

Too bad they didn't bring back Firefly...  anyhow, I digress.

I'll have to agree with the music thing, though I'd say good music stopped being made roughly around the time Commodore started to really sink (around late '92).  

Even games and such were far more creative, simply because developers had to be creative to compete.  They had to make games that were fun!  These days you may as well be playing an interactive movie, with the majority of games lasting roughly the length of watching the extended edition of Lord of the Rings.  

I think most of all, I miss the competition.  Remember all the great arguments of Atari vs. Amiga vs. PC?  Oddly I never knew a single person who owned a Mac.  Only schools really had them back then.  

I still vividly recall a guy I knew saying that he bought a sound card for 250 bucks to get stereo sound, and my friend laughing and saying that it came in his Amiga 500.  Ah the good ol' days...
