I absolutely agree with your article — and i’m not even a Brit!

Ah, the contests me and my dad held over 1942… We actually listened to the game music for fun… *starts humming BGM*

If anyone’s interested, you can get a remake of pinball dreams for the iphone on the appstore – search pinball dreams! Nightmare is great!

oh, so many memories :)

I remember trying to understand what “retry” meant, and pronounced it “retree” heh. Using the mouse for the first time was a revelation. My brother and I would spend as much time gaming as we would on Deluxe Paint. I was the better drawer but he managed to beat me with an awesome drawing of Veronica from Archie.

I wish Amigas didn’t cost an arm and a leg. I’ve been trying to buy one for ages.

I miss my Amiga :( I started with an A-500 with the RAM upgrade when I was stationed in Germany in the 80s. I even got to be vice-president of our base’s user group, and I appeared on Armed Forces TV to plug the club! Then when I got back to the states, I “upgraded” to an A600HD, the one with the whopping 40MB hard drive — unheard of space!! I too spent days in huge rooms of people exchanging disks for, um, ‘preview purposes’… but why hasn’t anyone mentioned Fred Fish?? Am I the only one who had a nearly complete set of Fred Fish disks?

Anyone interested in making Gravity Force 3? Could be done with a small team as a hobby project.
Remember that Gravity Force 2 wasn’t developed by the same people as Gravity Force, they just got their blessing to use the same name..

Ack – dune 2! I forgot that one. I remember it took an AGE to load on like, 5 disks? It absolutely blew my mind when i played it though.
Also, civilization. took about ten mins to generate a world! Which is why im so familiar with the music, love that it was back in civ 4.
anyone remember a game called onslaught? It was part of the crappy bundle that came with my 500+. Involved much violence, i seem to recall….

Only the original Amiga A1000 required a Kickstart floppy to boot. The rest came with the kickstart on a ROM chip and you could purchase a ROM for the A1000.

My first Amiga was the little-known A1500, which was basically the same as the A2000 but without a HDD and with an additional floppy drive.

We later got an A1200 with a 256MB HDD and 2MB(!) of RAM. I think I still have it somewhere in my folks house.

Like few others here I was a proud owner of A600. Small, compact, whitish. Moving to it from C64 was like seamless evolution. Many happy an hour went by while I celebrated the benefits of a built-in FDD drive. Games… too numerous to name them all but I have the most fond memories of:
Hired Guns, Black Crypt, Ishar2, EOB series, Frontier, Syndicate, Silkworm (co-op), Perfect General, Dune 2.
Happy days…

The Kings of Convenience may have something to say on that one.
