Amigas rule!

Nebulous and Rod of Mannequin Depressives and VCon, reminisce about the old days of computing, with the ultra-cool retro Amiga computer systems.
Amiga 4000 and A1200 (released in 1992). Amiga 2000 and 500 (re-packaged versions of the Amiga 1000, with a chipset developed from 1982 to 1984).
The first Amiga was released in 1985, due to financial delays. Regardless, it was far ahead if its time.

I realise that it can be daunting trying to wade through all the Amiga software for those who are new to the platform. So, I've decided to list my top Original ChipSet selections, as there's also alot of crud out there. In the interest of saving people time,
here are some of my favs (in no particular order):

Hired Guns
Blood Money
ArmourGeddon
The Killing Game Show
RoboCod
Seek and Destroy
Transplant (PD)
Grav Attak (PD)
Asteroids II (PD)
Gods
Harlequin
Speedball
Speedball 2
Galaga '92
Lemmings
Gauntlet II
Populous
Star Dust
Marble Madness
Questron II
Stunt Car Racer
Uridium 2
Rick Dangerous
Rodland
Sidewinder

Note: Alot of people have been asking about the music in this vid. It's a mod called "Transucktion" which I've now posted at blitter dot com. Once there, nav to [Otherworld] - [Ancient O/S's] - [AmigaDOS] - [Amiga Music].

You'll find the Winamp modplayer plugin at [Ancient O/S's] - [Utilities]. Enjoy!

It's so twisted that the Amiga was developed by Atari people, and the Atari ST was developed by Commodore people.... strange world.

[nebby6]

Yep. There was alot of people and design swapping going on between those two companies. Before reading "On the Edge: The Spectacular Rise and Fall of Commodore" I knew about some of it. Still though, that book was quite an eye-opener.

Yeah, there are some awesome freeware games on the Amiga. I think the first one that I got hooked on was Scott Peterson's GravAttack from 1987. Wicked addictive!

My White A1200 with a Apollo 040 32mb ram with a 5gb HD still being used today. I've even purchased a 4 way buffered IDE so I can hopefully add my 4gb CF HD loaded with OctaMED and ting. Bring on the Beast.

Hired Guns is one of the most amazing games ever :)

Im still rocking it with my A1200

[skatechatham]

good old amiga, I remember tracking with 4 channels of sound, you could resample your clips to try to fit as many hihat/clap or whatever combos on one track.

Amiga rulez 4 ever

I had few amiga models in the past. Starting from amiga 500 through amiga cdtv, amiga 1200, laterw amiga 1200 with apollo card with 68040 and a coprocessor 60mhz 16 mb of ram memory, and my last amiga was amiga 4000T with a turbo card with 68060 processor 60mhz. I have putted all my money on it, my life was tight limited to the amiga world, nothing was important, only amiga. Beautiful days, ahhh Its so sad that this machine dies.
