And why not Pinback? An Amiga is still as good as it ever was! :girlcrazy:

I hope we see some more games being released for the Amiga, after all a lot home brew games that have been released for the 8 bit micros and even the SNES/Mega Drive have had some new carts made but the 16 bit home computer seem to have left out of it.

Is the Amiga now 30 years old this year, :O will have to change the title of the thread.

The years may advance but Amigas still endure, here's to the next 30 years!

I still got my PPC 1240 and the other one.

Winuae 3.10 has been released and wow what a change list. Think I might have to go rom hunting this weekend.

Dont forget that there should be a few that "mysteriously" found their way into the download area D1 :girlwink:

Happy 30th B-Day Amiga
 

It is funny and great watching this since I never have seen this until now 🙂 There is even a kickstarter for A1200 custom cases, almost makes me want to build another one.

Humm, should I switch on my Amiga 500 for the occasion? My disks are sitll all there too, what should I play? Silent Service, Xenon II, Murder!...

Have some games on WinUAE, just aside of the Dosbox icon.

My mum has put this machine on some terribly tedious place somewhere in the dust I think... Still after so many years she says: please stop playing...:)

What to play on an Amiga....well I know what I usually fire up...

@Geraldine,

I'm not even sure but I don't think I bought the Amiga version of Frontier (have the PC version and the patch for the mining bug + lots of trainers and special savegames).

Now I play it with glfrontier which is the Atari version. It runs perfectly on Win 7 and you can chose to switch off the improved grafics and go with the original ones. But the Amiga grafics - in all games - were well ahead of its time.

Greets,

Seems a bit quiet on the internet about the 30 anniversary apart from a couple of events.

Anyone have any disasters with the Amiga? I set my A1200 IDE cable on fire when I plug it in the wrong way around once :banghead: , swapped it for another, switched it on and everything stilled worked.

One of my A1200s went on fire once. It was a dodgy hard drive that was the cause. Put out the flames cleaned up the motherboard and fitted a new HD and cable, good as new! Tough machines indeed.

Edgar Vigdal and Deluxe Pacman, Deluxe Galage. Deluxe..yeah. Still live on our Amigas.

:girlsad: Oh no! I didn't know Edgar had passed away. He made some great games indeed and DGalaga will always be one of my favourites. Every Miggy I've ever owned always had some version or another of that game on its hard drive. RIP Edgar and thank you for all the fun times your games gave me. :girlumbrage:

EDIT: Was looking around there for any disk images of DGalaga and came across this site (Amiga PD) that has the whole Assassin disk collection available (tons of great games here) as well as other things.

I had Amiga 500 in the late '80s and it was a center of my life back then. Being an active member on Amiga demo scene was a very fun part of my life. Sadly I had to sell my Amiga to buy a 386 PC in early '90s. Today I occasionally enjoy C64 and Amiga emulators for nostalgia sake. 

Anyone remembers Millenium 2.2 and Deuteros?

I'd love to see a sucessor to those 😎

I still play those games! I was acting sick in grade school to play Millennium 2.2 while my parents were at work 🙂

Nope can't say I ever played them and their is a remake of Deuteros here http://bartfernhout.magix.net/public/deuteros.html

A new kickstarter for the extended edition of the film From Bedrooms To Billions: The Amiga Years has started. Details here.

According to RPS you can now play a couple of thousand Amiga games in your browser. https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2016/08/09/2000-amiga-games-to-play-for-free-in-your-browser/

Well I for one applaud anything that keeps these great Amiga games alive and people playing them. :girlcrazy:

I went past cash converters today and in the window was an A1200 and disk drive for £130, WTF I had no idea a 20 year old computer would be selling for that much.

Was it an Escom or Commodore model? Earlier models are generally worth a little more. The upgrades tho, they go for crazy money at times. Amigas are still very much sought after machines. But then again we both know that. :queen:

Commodore with a branded 3.5 disk drive, I knew that the accelerator cards can some times go for crazy prices on EBay but never given any thought to the price of the computer itself.

Going to keep an eye on it and see if they drop the price in a few weeks. :ninja:

In my local charity shop they had....a....a....filthy......Atari 520 STFM. I thought at the time, I will think about it. 3 days later it was gone. Perhaps it was for the best. :girlhaha:
