r-type, turrican, silkworm, swiv, desert storm, alien breed..i kinda want to get an emulator now.

I miss the Amiga because it was a sort of halfway house where games became more professional and graphically impressive, but the industry wasn't as ridiculously commercialised as it is now, and just churns out 27 different FPS each week.

I felt really old when I read that.

If you want to play a very similar game for free and with cool graphics but an old-school feel just go to Oolite

www.oolite.org/

Yes free and on Windows

I still have a functioning Atari 1040 with hi-def monitor, (Black and white obviously), none of your junk btw, this beast has 4mgs of ram!
Choke on my smoke muthas!!

From the days when Cubase ran from a single floppy disk.

Loved my Amiga 1200 with hdd and modem, had a mate on the early bbs scene getting all the games.

The best Amiga is the original, the 500. a 512k powerhouse
They brought out a memory expansion pack as well to take the machine up to a whopping 1 meg. That was a requirement for games such as Dungeon Master (that is in my top five games of all time btw, possibly my number 1).

The 500+ had compatibility issues with older software. I had one, and Dungeon Master wouldn't fucking work
The compatibility issues where a result of a Workbench uprgade. I didn't want an Amiga for Workbench, idiots!
I believe the A600, A1200 suffered from the same issues.

I swapped my A500+ for a Super Nintendo and never looked back. I'd love an old A500 though. Beautiful machine. The original and best.

There was nothing wrong with Workbench 1.3 Commodore, you bunch of arseholes!

What a great topic. This brings back memories. I used to have a mate who would sell the latest games, hacked with cheats, hours of fun.

Lemmings was pretty addictive.
