Amiga - Remember when computing was fun? ®

A "would-be" commercial video of Amiga computer, created out of boredom and some stuff borrowed from around the web. Lots of copyrights broken, I hope no one will mind :) Video sports a "Remember when computing was fun?" slogan by Hyperion, the creator of Amiga operating system v4, hoping to wake up the sleepy Amiga spirit among it's fans.

Maybe you mean "Remember when everything was new", modern computers can do that stuff and much more, but its no longer "new" thing, so there isn't the old excitement or the "feeling of" fun anymore.

@xhackeranywhere

well, for me, the fun was doing all kinds of stuff with poor hardware. kinda hip, yet elegant.

Surely you've seen my videos already. If not just click my name. ;D

@xhackeranywhere Well one of the fun things were pushing the standard hardware to do incredible things,

Nowadays kids won't be likely to do programming nowadays on custom PC's, I stil make my Amiga 500 cry doing things way beyond it capabilities :)

Amiga was the future, now we are in the past, because it has gone backwards, without Amiga life has turned to shit.... Almost every Amiga game was fun and made ya laugh with excitement and you never wanted to turn it off, I took days off school just to play Hybris and listen to the awesome music. Don't get me wrong I like my Xbox360 and Black ops etc but I don't play the 360 half as much as I played the Amiga. There was even well over 3,000 games for Amiga not including public domain games etc.

Great job. While I like Xp, you are right that back then each computer had a unique identity.

After listening to Bond perform "Explosive", I came back to watch this video. I think it's very well made, just sorry it cuts off at the end.

Remember when computing was *fun*. Now computers are tools, a means to an end. You might have fun watching a video on youtube, or you might have fun playing WoW, or you might have fun writing a blog, but back then the fun was in tinkering with the computer itself, trying to see what could be done with it in hard/software.

No, but it`s no longer the worlds dominating computer,

so you gonna pay it a quite a lot and will have not that many apps and games

on it (apart from emulating old Amiga)
