The sound chip was called something amusing too, the Rock Lobster as per the B52's song wasn't it?

Was it 'Jesus on E's' that cut to that bit of a Rolf Harris song mixed in with the Muppets theme? That was ace!

 

I remember the demo where one part had 3 eggs on screen & they broke open showing chicks heads then sterted to make rapping noises .

 

anyone remember super skoda challange, if you drove the scoda on the grass it blew up, awesome lol!

wish i had all the games now mind you the dogy av converter box thing that hung out of the back was on the blink last time i used it i dont even know if i have it anymore.

 

I got wasted with the guy who did the music for that game, he was a proper head





and yes the amiga rocked, but the commodore 64 was the classic

Anyone remember the 'Guru Meditation' screen too ....!

 

omg my dad used 2 have about 100 of these amigas *various specs* in his shed ! he used to mend them all the time and say they were broken

 

I just picked up a dreamcast & games for 30 & in the box also was a gamegear with games & an amiga500 .

 

i still have an amiga 1200 in the loft

 

What about superfrog? 'Wow, those graphics are f*cking amazing, this is the future boys!' we thought at the time ! I bet it looks like lego now:

I remember the first time I saw Shadow Of The Beast on the Amiga. I remember sitting there just totally shocked at how amazing it was not only graphically for the time, but also at how amazing the music was.

 

I've just installed a dreamcast emulator as it happens, works quite well so far.

I've really been abusing the N64 emulator over the past week

Mario Kart 64 on a 6ft screen

 

I bought the package with Shadow of the Beast from Bizzarre Creations they also made Agony. Think they went on to code for the PS1 and 2? Oddworld ?

Deluxe Paint III, remember that!

Dunno if anyone`s mentioned Turrican 2 yet but the music to that was awsome.

Hardwired was another good demo.

Used to dabble with Octamed sound tracker, he managed to get 16 or 32 channels out of the a1200.

 

what dreamcast emulator are you using mate?

 

Chankast

You will also need a dreamcast bios to run it, but they are pretty easy to find, pm me if you can't

 

Ah ... happy memories. I had a 500, 500+ and then a 1200. Cracking kit they were too.

Sensible Soccer ... it was legendary.

And who here remembers X-Copy Pro ? With its mighty Nibble !

 

Anyone know if you can get games/software from the net and somehow get them on floppy to use in the amiga?

 

I would have thought you can get most stuff off any p2p network (emule,bittorrent,etc.)
As for transferring it to the amiga try http://www.amiga.org/

 

had a try of the amiga500+ i picked up today & played: chaos engine, cannon fodder 2 & i think it was called last samurai?
