As far as I know, ShiryuGL, the Amiga never showed up in my country, Malaysia. What a pity. Ended up listening to the beeps of my old PC's speakers when I played this around 1990 or so. If I only met the Amiga sooner, and if I had been born a whole lot earlier, I'd have pushed for that computer to show up on the shelves.

What a pity. Good thing there's people like you who appreciate good games, good music, and good computers, too. :)

Hard to describe the effect of such tunes into old player's heart...

I'am really happy to have been in childhood while developpement and release of such wondefull games. I think thoses pics and music will always be printed in. On other hand it's also makes me sad cause i thinks these olds days are now gone.

I'm always been a gamer (since first PCs 8Mhz!) but this time and, to my mind, the amiga's time is the best one...

More than 15y after my last play on this device...I'am still crying

@Gerardus1970 The Amiga, (along with the ST, much as it pains me to admit it ;) was the first machine where you could be really creative with graphics and sound without having to amass a lot of programming know-how. I suspect a lot of senior graphic designers now in their late 30s probably cut their teeth on DPaint. Unlike a console, even the basic A500 gave the user an ability to make their mark, even if only for their own pleasure. I suspect that's why it has a place in many hearts.

Ah, the memories. I killed three joysticks playing this one and Gravity Force. Good times, and although they are gone I'm very happy I was a part of it.

[Gerardus1970]

I've owned them all, but the Amiga still gets me every time.

Something to do with the heart and soul that went into the very first Amiga me thinks... it simply transends the silicon and plastic it was made of.

An special machine for a very special time, and we know we will never see either again... but at least the legacy remains and it's history is written.

Da rhythm!

wonderul 90's rack as ever from the Bitmap Bros. Gods really was a steup-up in graphics and sound at the time but also i feel just around the time of the amiga's downfall...nearly every original game that could have been made had been and the games were just becoming re-hashes of older ones. Amiga 500...the best time period of gaming ever
