I'm amazed that playing this game on an Amiga computer is considered to be work! Obviously, the member of BBC staff who chose the pic either didn't know what they were doing or is an Amiga fan.

LOL I take it that they are not still using the brilliant Amiga 500 now even thou it was years ahead of its self .

The alt text states that it is an Amiga computer game from 1st December 1989

I wonder if there'd come a time when some would lust after CRT monitors, hoping to find a working 1084 unit in 2024 to use with their CD32. Sort of like audiophiles who're into vacuum tube pre-amps and amps.

Plenty of us around already!

Check most retro gaming enthusiast sites, arcade fans too all wouldn't play on anything other than a CRT. Checking 4chans retro gaming forum and there's CRT threads almost every day.

Oh, and me too :-)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3SZkjF1RDI

BBC obviously discovered the cause of Greek economic problems. Civic servants playing retro games! On Amigas...

I can't believe that they are still using Amiga computers in Greece in government offices.
They need to get at least A4000s to get some real work done. It will increase their productivity to at least 800%.

That's a great vid - seen it a few days ago.

I have to admit, I'm not selling my 1084 and M1438 for any price anytime soon

I have a friend that is Greek and a Civil Servant and he told me that all the A500 computers they have are fitted with PPS 040 cards in them along with an internal 2.5" IDE HD so they ar e pretty zippy.
