So apparently the Amiga is 30 years old today. Anyone else have fond memories playing it in their youth? Loved this machine, amazing graphics and sound and felt like a massive leap forward over the C64 and tape deck loading! (The C64 was awesome too ofc).

Was very envious of my friends Amiga when I only had a C64. It had a cracking conversion of R-type and loved the versions of Theme Park, Syndicate etc. It also had the best version of worms since you could make your own levels using a paint program.

went from my MSX 2 to the Amiga and man was it next gen !!
I got involved with a demo group as well so I learned a lot on that machine. Loved it.
Still love it in fact, I got it plugged in and often boot up a game just to leave the music on while I'm doing sth else

Yeah the music always stood out for me. So many great examples but one I always remember is Turbo Lotus 2 (as I called it). Flying down the highway with this blasting out of the tv was brilliant!

An Amiga was the stuff of dreams for me, & was way outta my league in terms of price as a kid
It still holds a kind of grail place in my heart though, despite barely ever using one. I'd love to pick up a 1200 at some point, with the cf adapter/hdd etc installed. 0 -

You won't get much better than component or HDMI unless you get a proper CRT with a Scart RGB cable. I think your problem is your choice in games, MDK is a pretty terrible port of the much better PC game which still looks decent
When it comes to PS1 it depends on the developer. I'm playing FF7 and boy does it not hold up but something like Megaman Legends or Vagrant Story still look great.

Ya on a bit of an Amiga buzz as well these days.
Haven't used my 500 is ages but since I picked up a 1200 from Alphaeagle last week I've been rediscovering my addiction Already bought a (fixer-upper) 600 on Ebay and considering some pricing accelerator cards for the 1200 !! 0 -

Stick some extra mem and an accelerator card in the 1200 and it’s a completely different beast. And an internal CF HDD is a must these days as it adds so much for very little money(CF card and a 10 euro adapter).
You might be better off buying from Amibay for the addons.0 -

Thinking of taking a bit of a break from playing games for a while. Anyone ever get to a point where they just aren't enjoying anything they play? I've been like that the last few days, happens to me every so often. Time to catch up on TV and work a bit harder on a game project I think.

Well that might be the cause of it. I turned it off the other night after 5 minutes because I wasn't really enjoying it. I'm trying to see what the fan translation is like but so far it adds nothing tothe game really.

I can hear the defence forces and Goobers now.
"Hogan's just speaking his mind, and I respect that."
"WHAT HAPPENED TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH!?"
"But Hogan should have lots of black friends. Remember when he tagged with Mr. T at the very first WrestleMania?"0 -

Remember that time a dog was drowned in the background of a Hulk Hogan movie?

That is just a complete mystery to me. Like...did they even notice it in the dailies? Was the budget so constrained and Hogan that difficult to work with that they couldn't just reshoot it, or even just use a different take?Remember that time a dog was drowned in the background of a Hulk Hogan movie?0 -

We got a second hand A500 as our Christmas present one year from the folks - one of the best pressies ever, up there with a BMX even! The keyboard got a bit wonky over time where it wouldn't register keypresses so you had to power off and on when switching games rather resetting with keys. Got it fixed in some underground repair shop on Parnell St, not sure if it was part of the old Peats shop that was there at the time. Good times.
Unrelated, anyone heard of Galak-Z? Coming out soon on PS4 and later on PC. 2D shooter where your shmup can also transform into a mech. :cool:
Looks cool.

Yeah. Think it was part of Peats. My shift and space bar keys took a pounding with Pinball Fantasies and had to be replaced. Think my modulator broke once and had to be repaired too. Finally realised you didn't need that thing if you just used a scart cable which was great as that thing really juts out at the back.0 -
