Wait, the whole idea of these newfangled App stores that are to bring us new and exciting, usable apps for our machines, right?

Hate to pick nits, but it's sort of a bit of a bottom of the barrel feeling to see pdf collections like this that were on most of the Miggy torrent/download sites years ago after they sold out the original run of the cd, is all.  I'll stick to Bombjack and Archive.org.

I've been sitting here with cash in hand, wanting to buy something usable off all these Appstores.  Something that's not silly desktop backgrounds, icons sets, or weird ActiveX style desktop candle/fireworks shooting programs that use 85% CPU cycles.   But I still can't buy a digital only/online copy of OS4.1 FE?  No one will answer me if that will ever be possible, but by God, I can buy all the pdf 'zine scans I dl'ed years ago elsewhere via torrent!

Don't get me wrong, I suppose I appreciate the effort, but I see an offering like Workbench CANDI as a bit of a slap in the face as a commercial offering from people selling $3000 computers.  Novelty software not far removed from "Snowman Maker" (see below) being flogged off in the name of "platform progress".  It's like paying for DirectX, which was a solution to a problem we never had, lol.  

People really pay money to watch virtual candles burn, or bubbles float on their screens on their $3000 PC's?  When's the Flying Toaster screenblanker coming out for the low, low price of $19.95?

Still recall all the stink when the "holy lineage" of the Amiga was tainted by offerings such as "Snowman Maker", and can't help but see all this as a rehash.  Maybe that's just me, though.

I've got my cash in hand, but no one seems to want to sell me professional offerings.

No, that's just what Amiga users dream of when they hear the term "App store".

From the vendor's point of view, an Amiga app store just lowers the bar for impulse purchases - plus it's a new 'project', and Amiga users have a rather unhealthy habit of throwing money at new projects without thinking too much about it. It's all about "supporting the Amiga", you know.

Good Amiga releases create decent revenue even without an app store - Entwickler X published some sales numbers a while ago, which prove that. An app store simply makes it easier to sell not-so-good stuff.

@Duce

The small Total Amiga Magazine archive proceeds from the CD went back to SEAL to keep their Amiga club running.  If there were others that uploaded it to a pirate torrents that was a great shame as the quality of the work that SEAL did was top drawer.

AMIStore has some novelty software but there is a lot of software that is coming out this year in the serious applications category.

A very important release will be here in a just a few weeks time (its being Beta tested now).  So please watch this space.

Thanks for the news on upcoming releases, Amigakit - and a very sincere tip of the hat for taking criticism fairly.

The Total Amiga Archive CD has sold out and is no longer available direct from Total Amiga. Some of our distributors including Alinea Computer (Germany) and AmigaKit.com (UK) still have stock of the disc. Please visit their web sites to order.

Judging by above feet note from the previously posted link it seems its just nos sell out. nothing that particular about it, especially in this scene.

I wasn't even aware there had been a archive CD of Clubbed/TAM released, although I do remember Amiga Active advertising back issues on CD.

On Amiga platform it is not impressive but it is good if you have sold 130 copies to dealers.

This is not of course number of users.
