Lets Amiga chat!

[CritAnime]

Over the last few weeks there has been intense debate and mud slinging. personally I am sick of it a bit now and I think it's time we kicked back, let our hair down and just get some Amiga chat going.
 
So lets talk Amiga, lets talk Commodore. Hell if you into Atari lets throw that into the mix. Lets discuss what makes our computers of choice so good for us. Lets not bicker, lets not squabble. Lets have some FUN like the Amiga and other systems let us do!!! :banana:

I am still newly married so I do have some fun left laying around lol.
 
I was playing on my 600 today and decided to play Fantasy land Dizzy. Not played it years and boy the memories came flooding back. good times
 
Desiv thats what this thread is all about my friend

See, you haven't reached that point yet where she comes up to you and says those dreaded words "Either that computer goes or I go".
 
It is bloody annoying to have to pause a game of Alien Breed Tower Assualt to help her pack a suitcase and then drive her to the bus station.

Didn't think Tower Assault had a pause function. I would have to finish my game first before all that....
 

 
"wait, wait, wait! Let me finish this game then I pack you up for the bus"
 
To be fair she knew what she was getting herself in to. And I did say that she had to love me and my Commodore computers

Yeah That is one of the good things about the Amiga HDD. Especially if you have a CF as a 4000 power config copies everything over in minuets. Also I know what you mean about SD cards. My HxC makes life with the old 600 a joy. No read issues and no need to clean the bloody thing
 
Just been looking on gumtree and found this:
http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/amiga-1200/101680738
 
1200 which has been modded and looks to be in good working order. Can't afford it myself as I have a bambino on the way. But I am sure someone in Miggy land would probably give it a good home.

[CritAnime]

Oh man that sucks I have a 1200 that I hardly use. Can't decide what I want to do with it.
 
I have just found a accelerator for a 1200 again on gumtree.

Never actually seen an Elbox up close. So don't know it's actual real life dimensions. I would imagine that they come with a good slab of metal on the bottom. I know a lot of old PC cases did.

[CritAnime]

I've got 3 of them.  2 with A1200 mobos and 1 for my A4000.  They're great bits of kit of you want to really expand your A1200 and essential of you want to add a Mediator.

Not sure what I want to do with the 1200. I have my 600 setup pretty sweet and use that for gaming. Never really tried any of the AGA games so the 1200 is a bit like the family silver. It only comes out for special occasions

If I were to mod it I would certainly tower it. Because if would want to mod the hell out of it. I seem to recall a 600 that someone had put into a desktop case.

I don't have time to use my MacMini "Amiga". Too busy with uni stuff at the moment. But i get 4 weeks off in about a months time so i will use it then. My mini needs a bit of maintainance like installing the Airport wireless card thingy and getting rid of that dreadful Apple startup sound.

Morph OS is something I would be curious to use if I still had my 4g mac mini. I do not envy you on maintaining the mini though. I had my old one open to install some new RAM. Such a tight space to work in.

Chaos Engine is great on the Amiga. I prefer it over the SNES version and the audio and visuals seem better on the Amiga. I was playing Turrican II the other day and that was the first game I ever played on the Amiga. The theme tune still sticks with me today and it instantly takes me back and puts a smile on my face

[CritAnime]

No. At that point I had dropped out of the Amiga scene and hardly ever used my Amiga. It wasn't till some time after I sold the Mac Mini I realized about Morph OS.

[CritAnime]

Now there again is something I would love to try. However pricing of HW kind of pushes that out of my reach at the moment lol.
 
Which might be an excuse to pimp my 1200 out and try the OS4 classic.

[CritAnime]

Hmmm maybe not put os4 classic on my systems then lol.

I think today I am gonna try and get some gaming done on my 600. Fancy playing Akira.... No just kidding as that game sucks. Nah will play alien breed 2. Never played that one.

[CritAnime]

Yeah I noticed that the first time I played.... Wonder what went through their head when they designed it.

[CritAnime]

Just some quick pics of my little 600 miggy. The one where its powered up is an old one from just before I installed the HxC so there is still a working floppy drive in it.

Picture quality is a little crap because of my blackberry.

[CritAnime]

It displays which disk is currently active and allows you to navigate through the directory tree. Plus it looks cool as ****. I did consider buying a red lcd but I thought that would be too gaudy.

[CritAnime]

Kesa how did mean arena go?
