That's right, today is International Amiga Day! Lets get those Amiga's out, play them, retro bright, do what you want

I've got a better idea. Why don't we just fire up our modern rigs and play games a million times better than these antiquated, soon to be forgotten, relics can.

I've got an Amiga A1200 running off CF card with new keyboard. Soon to get a cpu and ram upgrade. I even have an original commadore monitor.

Robfosters, but modern gaming sucks and all clones.

Ah yes, oh look another Call of Duty game, oh awesome another Battlefield! At least the Amiga and the era before it is famous! That wont be the same for the xbox or playstation, hell even the PC isn't unique

And I know there are some amazing games on the console and PC, but the C64-Amiga etc had amazing games too, Deuteros for example

Modern gaming does not suck. It does however, appear to be quantity over quality these days. I used to love sensible soccer.

OhEsEcks · 31 May 2015 at 15:00

What demo is that being played in the video?

Von Smallhausen · 31 May 2015 at 15:01

Had a 600 then a 1200. Awesome machine.

Sensible Soccer was absolute win. Elite, Lemmings ........ joyous days.

My first computer was a Commodore 16+4 in 1984.

Von Smallhausen · 31 May 2015 at 15:15

By international Amiga day I presume you mean "completely made up premise designed to try to drive clicks to my website"... :eek:

V F · 31 May 2015 at 15:41

Feels like 1992 in that room. :eek:

Think I'd prefer memories of this…

Sleepwalker was super frustrating.

I hate to be a cynic but even as an ex Amiga 500 owner that was my first thought too. Does the OP own the YouTube account/website then?

What? VR is the past,

I don't care much for an Amiga day, I have been hammering away on Octamed and Audiomaster for the past few months anyway

You obviously never played on the Amiga. I still use my A1200 and it has some awesome games. Currently playing SWOS, quality game!

Happy International Amiga Day!
