How do I get back the amiga thing?
« on: December 29, 2010, 11:38:12 PM »
Hi,

I lurk, also lurked ages and ages before i registered!

So anyhow! I loved my amigas back in the day and would like to play again. (you know what i mean!)

Trouble is all amiga things seem so expensive. (I am poor!)

Any recomendations?

I have 2 a1200's in my loft, i think both are 3.0, 1 has an 040 i think but that is missing a fan (though I probably have some around that would do). Dunno if there is a keyboard for them though! (they certainly have no rf sheilding since they had 3.5 hd's in back in the day!).

Also have (i think) my old a500 (not + but not 1st a500, does that make sense!) which I swapped back in the day for a megadrive! Was a good deal. Only think wrong was the esc key was not working but i fixed that with some silver tipex (for car rear windscreen fixing). Also have an a500+ proper now that I got from some old guy doing a clearance. (don't ask, my loft is like a musuem for old computers i get given!)

Anyway, so is there a way cheaply into the current amiga thing? Or should i just play on the emulators?

I have often been tempted by amioga stuff, but have never had the money to go there! (Hey it is not cheap compared to other stuff)

Personally I left amiga as my main platform in 1997/8. Pc's had become ok, win 98se was nice and at least you could get games on it!

These dasy I am multiplatform. I have my pc, my mac, some consoles (ps3, wii, 360, and lots of retro ones) but hey, I would really like that amiga thing again!

I shall admit it. I never liked workbench (that is probably why i don't 100% get on with macs). I loved diskamaster (II). It was great and you could configiure it loads if you knew how.

Ok rant over, any advise please!
