When would it be?

For me the late 90s were magical.  Lots of exciting rumors and speculation (which unfortunately proved unfounded), still some commercial titles being released and magazines on the shelves.  

You could also walk into Electronics Boutique and buy Amiga games, how I wish that were possible today.


Not the late 90s, not for me.  The late 80s when my A500 was beating the pants off of my friends' PCs that cost twice as much and were barely scraping by with EGA and bleeps coming out of the speaker - that's what I'd prefer.

No, the mid to late 90s onward were sad times.  Nothing rang true for an Amiga revival and every quarter that went by the Amiga slipped further and further behind technically.  By 1996 there was no point in Paula this or dragging screens that.  I knew every rumor that came down the pike was just that - a rumor, a never-would-be.
Back away from the EU-SSR!
