Amiga Fever

Well – I have just secured myself a comparable system to my old Amiga A500 which I used to own before my missing in 1993. I later returned and found out that my brother had thrown it away since it wouldn’t play one of his Soccer Games!!! But hey – I gave it to him before I left and told him that it was now his, so I’m not that annoyed at him. I love him – and I couldn’t of packed it to the USA with me.
So $70 later I can’t believe how excited I am to receive somebodies old Amiga. I can’t wait to show my family (especially Scott) what I used to do with it. I have a lot of music which I created with it and demos of various things – in fact I don’t think I’m going to sleep tonight! ;)
What’s even better – I find out that pretty much all the games that were available are now freeware (since the Amiga platform was dropped in 2000).
I’ve told Scott and Toby that it’s going to be an early Christmas present from me to them. But I think I’m going to be the one who spends most of the time on it. I can’t wait to pull up my old compositions…..
Watch this space for more exciting news…..
