Thought this would be a good thread for us PC gamers to post our Retro Systems and Games the one's we've kept from years past, purchased recently or looking to buy. ((( NO NEW GAMES ! ))

Today I just got this for £35 from Level Up games in Canterbury, been looking everywhere for one :cool:

Amiga 500

However I was a bit upset

So many games i've kept for well over 10years no longer work when I got them from the loft today *disk corrupt* or garbled boot screens. I was able to play some two player games with my brother those that worked

. Now the Amiga 500 is back in storage for keepers just need an external drive, 1meg extension, Deuteros/Dragons Breath game

Before that I had a ZX Spectrum 48K and played Manic Miner and such 24/7. Sadly those machines are long gone now and I have no pics

Shame

Ya that's the one I played with my brother, it's a bit difficult not to die

should have got a Amiga A1200 and done the compact flash mod

Could've done but

1) Not the computer I remember so no nostalgia
2) Much more expensive and harder to find the complete package

Well if you ever see Deuteros or Dragons Breath

Give me a shout, VERY loud!

Even though i've got this Amiga and it will probably remain unplayed stacked away to be handed down in the family, i'll still be getting a few things

Though it is always nice to have nearly 4gb of amiga hd games playable on the pc with filters and surround sound

Get it out now!, atleast you can give it a good test and take some photo's

I'm the only one who's done photo's so far

Neil79 · 9 Jun 2012 at 00:19

Oh nice!, do you ever play them? or are they purely for keeping in the family now

Neil79 · 9 Jun 2012 at 21:44

Done a little bit of tweaking, borrowed some bits from the amiga 500 and..

Amiga 4000... wow never seen that one before

, hope you do some more pics with it running!

Btw those spectrums, the guy in that store said they don't last their lifetime unlike the commodore
