Am I the only one who doesn't love AGA chipset?

[Franko]

Don't understand why anyones got to compare the Amiga or AGA to anything else, seems kinda pointless moaning about AGA and comparing it to VGA and the like. The Amiga range is what it is nothing more nothing less...

Having owned just about every model at one point in time I can only say they were all good in their own way and I ended up sticking with A1200s cos I liked them the best mainly thanks to AGA. I've never actually looked at a PC or MAC with whatever kind of display it uses and thought "I wish the Amiga could do that"...

Why can't folk just accept the miggie for what it was and still is, something that's just a wee bit different from the rest of the crowd and simply make the best of what we were given by the late great Jay Miner & Hi-Toro...

(ok... who's nicked me medal...again... )

We do it because we're a bunch of sad and bitter tards who can't let go and accept that the World kept spinning the last 15 years.

Thought as much...

Count me in with that group then cos it sure as hell passes the time a bit quicker, gawd 15 years eh... don't time fly when you've got somthing to moan about... :lol:

Now pass the big wooden spoon along to the next in line...

Why does Doom always come into the equation !!!

One of the crapiest games ever IMHO, but if your really want to see what can be done with an Amiga without RTG & this type of game then you really need look no further than Alien Breed 3D...

The thing is your talking about the Amiga in terms of being nothing more than a games machine. I know a lot of folk see the Amiga this way but to me it was far from being a games console and comparing it against PCs of the time make no sense to me.

The Amiga for those who could be bothered to put their minds to it at the time was the only low cost viable solution for folk who wanted to create low cost videos and GFX and some even used it professionally for it's audio. I mean how many Amiga's did the Disney Studio's kit themselves out with or the Creators of Babylon 5 for example, if PCs at that point in time were really so good then why did the aforementioned examples choose Amiga... so if your gonna compare the Amiga to other PCs don't forget to include the good points too...

@ Digiman

Guess you missed my other post while you were typing this one...

[Franko]

Don't know why I stepped into this one. At least I have boots on....
Back when it came it came out, it was OK. BUT love it is a wee bit strong....

Who said that !!!

Not strong enough if you ask me...

If someone pointed a gun at my Amiga or the ex and made me choose, I'd have no hesitation in my decision...

I imagine we would have found people 30 years ago complaining that the 2D graphics (of which the Amiga was the pinnacle) were overrated and took away from the true gaming of the text adventure.

It's true I can recall when I had been used to playing plain text adventures on my old Vic20 then buying the C64 and people started to write text adventure with line draw GFX to jazz them up a bit, that I was in horror that there was no need for this as you imagination should be creating the images... :lol:
