Lets Amiga chat!

Hmmm maybe not put os4 classic on my systems then lol.

I think today I am gonna try and get some gaming done on my 600. Fancy playing Akira.... No just kidding as that game sucks. Nah will play alien breed 2. Never played that one.

A lot of people will say Tower Assault is better, but I end up playing Alien Breed 2 a lot more. It's an amazing game in a lot of ways, once you get past the atrocious first level.

[CritAnime]

Yeah I noticed that the first time I played.... Wonder what went through their head when they designed it.

Just some quick pics of my little 600 miggy. The one where its powered up is an old one from just before I installed the HxC so there is still a working floppy drive in it.

Picture quality is a little crap because of my blackberry.

Cool photos! So does the blue screen thingy (i forget the name) actually do anything productive apart from looking cool as ****?

PS do you ever sleep? my clock says you have been awake all night.

[CritAnime]

It displays which disk is currently active and allows you to navigate through the directory tree. Plus it looks cool as ****. I did consider buying a red lcd but I thought that would be too gaudy.

[CritAnime]

Kesa how did mean arena go?

I originally only had the demo on floppy which i played on my old A500 but i just got the full game and played one level and will play it thoroughly through the holidays :pint:

I've spent the last couple of months getting an A4k and kitting it out a bit (see sig) really enjoying putting some demos through it and filling it full of WHD games Happy Happy Joy Joy!

When it comes to my days off from work, on night duty, I will eb getting some new games put onto an SD and looking into some games I never played before. This will be one of them I think.

I would love a 4000. But the tower version. I think the tower looks really nice. but not as nice as the 3000 tower.

@ CritAnime - That's a nice pair!
A3kT's are ugly in a beautiful way

[CritAnime]

I wish they were mine
But your right. they are ugly but in a strangly beautiful way.

[Kesa]

Yeah those are cool but i prefer the standard A3000. I like the desktop cases that CAN'T fit 5.25" devices. It seems ironic somehow...

I think the towers are sweet but they look ugly when you put in devices such as 5.25 drives that don't match the size and colour properly.

[CritAnime]

Never been a fan of desktops. I have always liked towers. but that is odd about the 5.25 devices.

Are you agreeing or disagreeing? I think 5.25 drives are too big. I prefer the smaller 3.25. But that's just me.

Anyway i think the A3000 is interesting as it is a contradiction. It was meant to be a workstation aimed at professionals at the same time they left no room inside or outside for 5.25" expansions. Oh the irony...

[CritAnime]

Oh no I wasn't disagreeing with you. I have never seen the inside of the case. Only the outside. But as you say its odd they would design it as a workstation yet restrict it in the way they did.

I to say that Amigas are great fun as long as they're running OK, but my systems seem to be so patched now that keeping them running smoothly can't be a major pain in the arse.  My A4000 with its combination of Zorro and PCI cards as been known to throw a major wobbler at times when you install a new program or update a driver.  The best thing about an Amiga compared to Windows is a "backup" just means using DOPUS to copy one hard drive to another and "restore" is just doing it in reverse.

Minimigs are a joy to use.  SD cards full of ADF files = no read/write errors.  

yeah. no doubt. I had a 1200tower with g-rex and it was like that...

My current 1200/060 is no issues. The Indivision AGA MK2 really makes the system, although the DVI has one worked 100% on one monitor I have tried, but that will get better I'm sure. if it gets the graffiti support that will be sweet. I tried to run the graffiti software off aminet. does not seem to work.

I won't ever build up another classic though.

My Minimig 1.1 is totally reliable and that is the future... I only miss out on a few things that need 020 CPU instructions, but I can't wait for the 2.0 and 060 daughter-card. I know it will put my 1200 to shame.

I hope some day they make a daughter-card with PPC/060 combo. That would be interesting.
