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.

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

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

However with great news did come sadness and thus we most all be thankful to the great Dragon "Gyu" Gyorgy, who sadly passed away at the beginning of 2015, one of the founders of this incredible event. Much respect and you will be missed by many.

Show some respect eh?

He was one of the founders of this event and was nothing to do with me, he didn't even get to see another year's celebrations. The only reason it says the website is because it was uploaded by us and to stop people saying it's their video.

Still bring mine out the loft to play SWOS and Player Manager from time to time

I don't get to play many games on it any more, mostly scene demos and new releases

Nice games there Neil79. I love the artwork!

Thanks, I have even more now, but I'd be here all day taking pictures!

Has anyone else got a collection they want to share?

See legitimate reason for mentioning his website again - someone might want to steal a video that has had, so far, 84 views. He honestly isn't trying to promote his website so please be more respectful.

True enough

Also to note this is a single day event, only once a year. Furthermore as I stated before this event did not originate from us, this is just one of my videos in celebration of the event. I have asked for others to share their collection as well. I'm seriously not bothered about views in this, if I was I'd just link my website in this post. I'm more interested in an international event with people getting together.

Besides even the DONS have got involved! If the admins or mods want to delete the post then that is down to them.

Now can we please just enjoy ourselves and celebrate this awesome day?

Selling my Amiga was the worst decision I ever made. I'd give anything to have that sucker back!

Buy one then, they are not exactly breaking the bank... An A500 can be purchased for £35-50, A1200 £100+
