Welcome Iain,

Hope you have fun with your Amiga.

It's interesting that people find excitement about playing with 20 year old Amigas.

I don't think going back to a 286 with MS DOS would generate that same response.

So you had an A600 in 1988 ? Tell me how you did that .....
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Well actually, Id have to confess I am one of them. I love abandonware for the old PC up to the 286. Past that is dodge, but the gameplay on some of the oldies was fantastic, despite the obvious lack of graphics. Yes the Amiga was (and still is in my opinion) better than the PC stuff overall. But the old XT/AT classics will still have a place on my PC. :)

Welcome to the best place on Earth! I just bought one of these myself to go along side my A4000. Lovely machines arent they?

Welcome IainD

I didn't have any imaginary friends of my own as a kid, so I had to play with my brothers. But the ones I've found here at A.Org are simply the best ;-)




Have a great time with us :pint:
