lol I had an A500 before it, and remember clearly paying £39.99 for a 512k upgrade for it so i could play dungeon master and Wings.
Also bought a CD32. now that was not my best ever purchase

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri still works for me great game.

I play Age of Empires 2 every other day the game is great fun and the gameplay is finely balanced and still regularly appears in steams most played games charts.

Thief 2 and Thief Deadly Shadows I've just replayed recently for the umpteenth time, atmosphere, voice over work, level design are 2nd to none.

Lol, a lot of 1200 owners like myselfcame from the Atari ST FM. ST owners looked at A500 as the snobs!

Half life (TFC), Deus Ex

Played Dues Ex again but with the GMDX mod this time. Really enjoyed it.

Finally completed Syndicate (1993) a few years ago. Next time I'll play with the expansion.

I bought my Amiga before it became popular. I had a couple of mates with STs who laughed at me for buying an Amiga . 12 months later however not so much .

Btw hope no one minds the minor derail but if you want some helpings of nostalgia follow theshadowsnose on YouTube and watch his letsbcompare comparison videos.

If you enjoy syndicate check out satellite reign on steam. It is syndicate essentially but can play 4 player coop too

I bought the 1st version of the powervr apocalypse 3d (the one without bilinear filtering). Did have an amazing demo on there ultimate race but that is about it.

It’s got a really clunky interface though. It put me off it. Loved the setting but it wasn’t executed well.

Still have BF1942/DC installed and there are quite a few still playing it.

haha yeah it's quite funny really. I actually liked my 3DO, I was mad for Streetfighter 2 and the 3DO version was amazing so I was more than happy with it for that alone.
