The End Is Nigh! - CU_AMiGA Leaving Amiga Scene?
« on: August 10, 2004, 11:30:46 PM »
The unthinkable is approaching, the unimaginable is happening! The newly arrived Neo Geo AES system that i have just spent on is now taking over my professional gaming! :-) My Amiga is now nothing but a shadow of its former beastly setup. Months of costs and being ripped off has now finally taken its toll on me and i am on the verge of quitting altogether in favour of the slightly cheaper Neo Geo setup. I am already selling items on Amibench such as simms and Tower cases in order to raise money for me but i am not ready to quit fully just yet but it is nearing.

If you must defect, at least think of me, especially if you have a DKB 3128 board or PIV somewhere there. I'll give you a good price for those.

Hum,
you must be defective!

Still, i suppose that they'll  bring out a neoUAE port to emulate the old system eventually...

Who ripped you off? That sucks. There are good guys in the market though such as Computer City and Anachronism(;-)).

Consider reconsidering. There are alot of nice people in this community (c not k). Maybe get Amiga Forever for use on a PC, you will get Amiga withdrawls quickly.
Someone has to state the obvious and that someone is me!

Get an A1200D system and an accelerator with SCSI (e.g. B1230-IV) and keep the system low profile, and enjoy an occasional game or an application. Just don't quit! :-)

Hello,

@redrumload

The guy who ripped me and many others off is someone called "Bernd Binder". You can read the whole fiasco here:

Bernd Binder Fiasco

I will hand onto my A1200 for now in its very basic type, but will need a desktop case. I have had no luck in finding a cheap 060 accelerator.

Right i am negotiating with someone over buying an iMAC G3 700mhz computer. Then i will see how Amiga emulation goes with that. If not, then i will stick with a A1200D for gaming. I am selling my A1200 Power Tower / parts anyway.
