Your right, the A3000 was, i meant the first affordable 32bit amiga, wasnt the A3000 about £2k or something silly ?.

 

Yeah it was megabux. When I worked at Diamond Computers (remember them? 10 page advert in the mags!), we had to destroy about 40 of them for some big claim up! That was truly painful!!!

 

diamond now thata a name from the past stu lol i got all my hardware from gordon hardwoods now how the fuck did i think of that

 

wonder what they are worth now?i got an amiga 600 in the loft with a 1 meg upgrade and a battery back up clock,colour monitor,2 external disc drives and a daisy wheel printer in mint condition.

 

Many years of myne and my brother's yoof were spent in front of the TV, much to mother's disdain, playing Repton and designing levels. You can now relive the old days as Superior have rebuilt some of their games to run on Windows - check out http://www.reptonworld.co.uk/

 

Ive had a few, 500, 600, 1200 and i also had 1 that looked like a p.c, 1500 i think??

Oh I had a vic 20 as well

 

My dad found my old A600 with about 200+ games in the loft and threw it in the tip.

Real tears

 

i had an amiga 500 with a 1 meg upgrade and a action replay card

oh and it had a demo called "revenge of the son of stag" was my first computer porn! not the last i might add

 

So your joystick was almost worn out then.

A500+ was awesome, speedball 2 and Lotus Esprit Challenge were awesome.

 

speedball 2 was bloody great

 

Im with you on that one! A classic game. Used to spend bloody hours playing that!

And Daley Thompsons decathlon although i cant remember if that was on the amiga or not.

And i agree with speedball 2!

 

ive still got 1000 games back - ups from the day. used to sell 500 games moonstone worth £50 and sensible soccer 96/97.
pp hammer, prince of persia, silkworm, swiv, pang, warzone still great games today imo

 

speed ball 2 is now available on x-box live i can't believe how hard it is though!

 

moonstone! now that was a class game

i'm feeling all nostalgic

 

I was well into the Amiga scene when they first came out

An original A500, with RAM upgrade, 2nd external drive with hardware copier, monitor, 20MB ( ) harddrive, genlock, sampler, and allsorts of other gadgets!
Was very active in the trading circles and had over 4000 discs, most with atleast 1-3 games on, and thousands of demo discs too.

I also had an A1000, the very first one that had all the signatures of the designers/builders moulded in the inside of the case lid

They were the golden days of home computing

 

i used to commodore Plus 4 - was even lower than the C64

oh how i used to envy people with the C64
