25 Years Of The Amiga now 30

[Pinback]

Yes I was just referring to an old game series that I would like to see continued as in.Mercenary.Damocles: Mercenary II.Mercenary III The Dion Crisis.

[Pyros]

Never played the last one, but liked Damocles a lot. Although I spent more time lost than anything else. The "open endeness" of those games is quite different from the "go straight ahead and wait for the cutscene" that seems to plague the console inspired action games of today.

You right about that, I guess there was more open to try different things back then. Out of the three games Damocles is the one which I have played the least, must really have another go at it some time. Spent a lot of time playing Mercenary and can remember being really awed by Mercenary 3 and what you could do in the game, but it was really slow on A500

No need to dig out your old Amigas from your basement. (Unless you would like to "donate" them to me ). You can play these game with your trusty PC now . Check this site[url]http://mercenarysite.free.fr/mercframes.htm[/url]

No chance. Emulation good but it always nice to be able to play the games on the original hardware and as I have my ADF converter all I need is get my hands on some 3.5 disks.Now if only I brought these Atari ST520 disks.

Yeah, I loved those games. And still have them too along with my Amiga 3000.

My Amiga hard drive is about to give up as it take about 4 restart to get it up and running.Been looking at card drive on ebay any one used one and are they any good.

[Geraldine]

Card Drives are good for a hobbist machine, but if your going to be using your miggy alot Pinback, I would recommend sticking to a traditional hard drive. CF cards are not designed for constant data accessing. Having said that though I have CF Drives in both my 1200s and they work with no problems. You can even buy pre-configured drives on flea bay, packed with goodies, just plug em in and away you go. Also, they are fast and quiet too.

[Pinback]

Think I will go for the card drive although I will get one from Amiga kit as the ones on flea bay seem to be a bit on the expensive side.

[Geraldine]

Actually I think the opposite is true. If you dig around you can get some good deals on Fleabay. On the other hand, the Amiga Kit version does have an easy to use installer for the OS of your choice.

[Pinback]

I may be looking in the wrong section but the BIN ones are between £40 and £50 pounds which waaay over price for what it is. Cheapest way would be just to get the IDE interface + cable and the card then do it myself. Or try and win one of the auctions.

[Geraldine]

Well I bought an IDE adaptor for around £3.50 and a 4 gig CF card for £8.00. Just hunt around Pinback you will defiantly get one cheaper than £40. Those £40 ones might already come with Workbench (and other things, games, utilities) pre-installed.

I reported a while ago about this project for an Amiga emulator on suitably equipped Jtag`d XBox 360 and PS3 set up for homebrew, now I have just found out that the XBox 360 version has just been released.Here is the linksXBox 360: [url]http://www.logic-sun...[/url] ... r-360.htmlAnd here is the link again for the PS3 versionPS3: [url]http://www.ps3hax.ne...[/url] ... z1DMhpzrEBAlso you may find this useful, a link to Classic Workbench [url]http://classicwb.abime.net/[/url]

Why don't you keep your hard earned cash, and buy a REAL Amiga Instead?
