New Amiga Web Site
« on: January 27, 2008, 04:42:49 PM »
Well, it's been a few months in coming, but I finally got my new Amiga site up and running yesterday. I'd love your feedback. I know some of the images I have aren't the greatest, so if anyone has any better images, please send them my way.

The site focuses more on the older machines rather than the newer like the A1s... hopefully I can put these in the old soon and we have new machines... hopefully...

The site is: http://VintageAmiga.com

Cool start.

You dont have anything about the A1500 which was an A2000 with two floppy drives and no hard drive.

Nothing about the CDTV.

Nothing about the CD32 (hardware)

Your A1200 is a bit yellow ;-)

Cool site just one small criticism if I may..

Although the Amiga was dead in April 1994 as a mainstream computer lots of things happened after which casual surfers may be interested in, how about extending the history of Amiga to present day?

I think there is a great story there as I have followed it very much myself having collected a large selection of Amigas over the years.

Would you be willing to write a piece that I could add to the site? I'd give you full-onscreen credits.

It would be nice to have a story that starts at 1994 and leaves off today.

Your site looks very good. I like the simple, but effective design. May I suggest you avoid using the term "Wintel"? It somehow seems unprofessional, and so it doesn't fit in with the otherwise excellent site.

little typo I found:

"Jay set out to develop several other custom ships for sound, graphics and I/O. "

Just run it through some spell check thing maybe...

nice looking site, but your cd32 games section seems to contain the wrong information, like this example:

Quote
Amiga CD32 Games
Overview

Date Range: 1982 - 1983

Atari 5200 was designed to replace the 2600. Atari built the 5200 off their 8-bit computer platform instead of improving upon the 2600 design.

There was good reason for this as the 8-bit line of computers was also built off the 2600.

However, Atari focused on the 2600 more than developing a new model to replace the 600. As a result, the 2600 had a few issues:

   1. It was not compatible with 2600 games
   2. It had compatibility issues with running Atari 8-bit games
   3. It did not have much developer support


there are some other problems there aswell...
