But do you?
« on: February 15, 2006, 10:14:06 AM »
Hello all, do you guys actually remember how good the old goldies really were? Thats what made me remember and stick to the system. You would go into your local video games, films and music shop and you would see Superfrog with its bold graphic design on the box and its classic bookelt. I remember playing worms with a load of friends and them thinking this was the funest game i've ever played. The fast and simplistic emphasis was awsome. Because I love eighties music we used to put Stan Bush and Go West music in the background like 'we close our eyes'. Nothing like the classics. Comments?

I got started in the early '90s and missed most of the classics.  I was still on the C64/128 in the '80s.  What I liked about the Amiga was its all-around design.  The custom chips were special and nobody else had them.  Now there are enough custom chips available to do whatever you want.  I just hope that we can make a comeback in time for Windows to alienate their own userbase.   :roll:  Not being able to make our own custom chips is a big setback but I think we can emulate most of the old functions with OpenGL so that will get us at least back up to date.

Among my current programming projects is an Amos Basic compiler that uses C as a backend so we should be able to make a lot of classics portable and system-friendly.
