Amiga Game Collectors *rise up*

[apa]

I know there's a few more Amiga Original Game Collectors out there, so I created a little brag corner on FB, please join if your idea of fun sometimes is sorting the old boxes of dusty non working floppydisks. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1735829036732194/

Except I don't have Facebook.

I collect Amiga games but I don't do Facebook.

I did a quick check - non English language Amiga Facebook groups outnumber English ones by 9-1 or more. Mostly Spanish, some Portuguese, Italian and French.

Looks like most German Amiga fans don't do FB either.

Amiga game collector here as well... but I don't do FB either...

Have around 800 boxed games and 100 loose... but could care less about Farcebook. Maintained an account primarily for H.S. reunion reasons, but ditched it a few years ago and haven't looked back. Never had an interst in MyWasteOfSpace, Tw@tters, Gargle+, LinkedUp, etc. either. Or a YouTube account!   :lol:

I totally understand folks not having FB, it's a %&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!ty platform, but atm I prefer FB than to have one endless collectors thread. Now if there was subforum with a Amiga Game Collectors topic in this forum it would be another thing.

Same here. Waste of time that can be brought to a much better use.

We've got a Gallery forum where you can post pics of your goodies, etc.

But yeah... have the Marketplace for trading (trades and sales are EXTREMELY SLOW/NON EXISTENT to say the least around here though) and the Gaming forum if you wanted to talk about games, start a thread and all that good stuff:

Maybe start a thread in the Gaming section letting us know your intentions (do you buy/sell/trade?), then keep a link to it in your signature for easy recall. Bet you'd drum up a little more attention from those of us here that won't be bothered with Facebook.    

BTW: where are you located? Helps tremendously when your Profile is filled out. And "apa"... are you into American Pale Ale's by chance? I'm an IPA guy myself.      :laughing:

IF you're up for trades and are U.S. based, I've got a list here:

Planning to list all my origanals for sale soon once I can come up with prices. Have all the shadow of the beasts,  monkey island and more good stuff as examples.

A lot of my boxes got damaged after my roof sprang a leak, only thing that wasn't in the box at the time was the copy of Chaos Engine AGA I got for free...

The company I was working for was doing the PC port (22+years ago when I had just left college...) and they got the AGA version to check everything worked the same... I was the only employee with an A1200 so they borrowed my machine and I got the game for free at the end

A lot of the games that were damaged came from ITV's Bad Influence ( https://youtu.be/hkgcg4pRsaA ) as I bought a couple of machines and load of games cheap from them.  Only proof is ITV asset stickers.
