This has been sat with a plastic cover on it since I last used it.

I am 41 now and believe this was last used when I was about 13 or 14 :eek:

Gutted to see all the yellowing on the plastic.

I remember getting a Seagate HDD kit for xmas one year and putting that in it, then installing Workbench.

Still have the external floppy drive for ‘backing up’ them old games :)

Does it work? I imagine it still does. Need to look for the PSU, mouse and cable to connect it up to the TV.

This was the one that come with Brian the lion and Cannon fodder if I recall :D ah god, the memories.

So long ago now, I wish I would have kept the box!

I think I am going to try and get it powered up again to see if it works and fix the yellowing issue.

Just bringing it out this evening gave me so many happy memories.

I remember sending postal orders (do we even have them now?) to buy disks from public domain distributors I had found in the Amiga magazines.

I had an Amstrad 6128 plus also but that was sold later on.

Not a patch on the Amiga :D
 
It was the very machine that got most of us into computers at that age really.

Wasn’t a power house by todays standards, but it was all you needed in a box.

I was trying out the keys and thinking oh these must be the switches that the keyboard geeks go on about :D

Makes me remember the film War Games, but that’s another thread lol
 
It was in a transparent cover that went over the whole top of the Amiga. Was stored in an outhouse that allowed light in through a roof panel so must be why.
