    The ST was better at MIDI then the Amiga

    (As for Elite - The C64 & BBC programmers deserved a medal trying to get that to work with just 3 registers on the 6502 )

    This is very true. Of course the Amiga was better at everything else
    (As for Elite - The C64 & BBC programmers deserved a medal trying to get that to work with just 3 registers on the 6502 )
    Agreed!

    IMO the Amiga was still a viable option until about 2000 where you were better off selling up and buying a PC/Mac
    Back in the day, it was by far the best value home computer money could buy.

    I've posted this elsewhere but I'll post it again even though others appear to feel the same somewhat. I've never really forgiven them for beginning of the demise of the Amiga. I sorely miss those days of computing - it's just never beent eh same since. I have my 1200 in a damn great tower, with a Picasso IV and PPC 603e, and I still regret selling it all off but there was no future, at least not a happy one.

    Anyone got a 1200 for sale? I bought Amiga Forever the other week but haven't got any of the old great software available. Those were some fun times back then with the 11 floory disk version of Beneath a Steel Sky.

    I do agree with alot of us here, there were THE golden years of gaming for me, Dungeon Master, Speedball, Xenon 2
    Speedball 2, Populus, Defender of the crown, Pirates!
    Worms, lemmings and F18 Interceptor.

    If you can hold till the end of the month and send a list of what's there I'd likely take you up on the offer - postage will be the determining factor though.

    Sorry for the OT guys/gals but my head's full right now and can't think lol

    You and your friends are an incredible small segment of the gaming population.

    No one I know plays madden, but it was the biggest selling game of last year by a very, very long way.

    Cornwall. I remember when I sold my kit it cost a bundle to post but that was sending several large boxes all full of Amigas and goodies. I'd be more able to take one working 1200 with the Apollo or Blizzard you've got (if I read that correctly) and a few bits. That'd keep the postage down.
