Mini Amiga nostalgia

[nands]

I do still have a box with my Amiga in up in the loft somewhere but it has not been powered up for thirty years!

I’m really enjoying fiddling around at the moment.

Got every game every to try on one USB, when I find one I want to investigate further I find a copy and stick it on another usb and play it through (with the ability to save any time). If the Amiga Game Selector had that ability to save it would be perfect!

Fire it up. People think old Amiga will leak acid and explode. 95% of the time they’ll be fine and work as they did in 1990.
Saving wasnt really a thing from what I remember. The object of most games was to get as far as possible with the ‘lives’ you had.
I only remember saving in games like Settlers, Theme Park and maybe Cannon fodder. Lemmings possibly too.
That and entering codes for levels to start further into the game, Gods for example.

Easier times

Aye, entering codes which you achieve by completing a level was the norm, it is just that I have limited time and I can’t complete whole levels in one sitting to get to the code!

Unfortunately I have more responsibilities than I did when I was a kid!

I also rigged up a separate sound system and it always freaked me out when a game had a bit of stereo, just wasn’t expecting it!

I’m working my way through Lemmings now, loving that, it’s amazing how much emotion they put into so few pixels!

Megalomania next when I find a working copy.

Uncanny you mentioned this, I decided to play this the other day and go right through to the end.
Not an easy game... and I finally did it.. after, what... 3 decades?
And the ending? Wierd.

Better late than never.

I think I was alone in thinking that Kick off 2 was better than Sensi (I can feel the hate).

Mine is in the loft at my mum and dads house, along with 2-3 large boxes of erm not 100% legal floppy disks. My 48k speccy might be there too, unfortunately you need to be Lara Croft to get into that loft.
