one of the best computer i had... i had A2000 with PC bridge (86 then 386sx) and at the end a 68040 extention. and i was student 🙂 (so it was this old lol)

Still have a towerized A500 on my deck next to my laptops.

Sooooo good. Loved that computer. Many fun hours and the graphics still look great! Still can't beat your first love though which in my case is the ZX Spectrum.

I started off with the Commodore 64, had hundreds of games for that 😀 Then got the A500, then from that i got the Amiga 1200, had the 6830 accelerator for it, and the CD drive eventually, had one of those CD32 consoles as well, the memories! 😀

too bad it didnt start with C64 :P its my all time favorite pc gaming until the sun rose and we forgot all about time. yep those were the days 😀

cant wait until this is released. The Amiga still is the the best computer i have owned for the simple fact that as a computer it was so far ahead of its time. Had an A500, and still have my A1200 with 68030 card and 8Meg ram and ~100Meg harddrive, just need a modulator for it as its busted and i threw out my old 14" multisync monitor as it was a big big lol

Loved my A500.

Amiga 500 was certainly a nice upgrade after C64. Originally we planned to get a C128 as the upgrade, but a shopkeeper fortunately told us that would be sheer madness and Amiga was the way to go. Those were good times.

My first ever computer was an Acorn Electron 😀

I remember the Acorn 😀

I still have my Amiga 1000. It was a great machine for its time and it is too bad Commodore abandoned it to concentrate on an already congested PC compatible market. The fools. I kept my 48KB Sinclair ZX Spectrum and ZX printer, too. But honestly, gaming has never been better than it is today, especially now that one can bring to life one's own creation. BWAAHAHAHA...

Takes me back also. Does any one remember what resolution this thing outputted? BTW some of these old games have been ported to PC and are still fun. I downloaded a demo of that Ice cream, Ice cream game with the steel balls but for the life of me i can't remember the name of it just now. Great fun game with a very high skill level involved. You fight in the game like ice hockey lol and level up and stuff. Please someone put me out of my misery, i've tried google can't find jack. The game is @ 2:19 in the vid.

It wasnt that much more like 320*200, that was your standard TV RGB modulator output. The Phillips CM8833 MKII used a lead which was the original Amiga RGB to 9D pin male if i remember correctly. Interlaced had a heavy amount of flickering and was not really supported for gaming as you would be playing on a reduced display also. 320*200 was the mainstream standard.

The OCS chipset of the A500(+),A1000 supported 320x256, 640x256 non overcan and PAL@50Hz, NTSC was 320x200, 640x200 @60Hz and of course those resolutions could be doubled vertically with interlace( which flickers but is how a regular TV displayed images ). With overscan( no borders ), the resolution could be cranked up to 768x592 and you could have 4096 colours on screen at any one time( Digiview gold used this, using different 16 colours per scanline ). The regular HAM mode( 4096 colours on screen ) could only be used with 320x256,320x512( with overscan etc ). The 640x256 resolution wasnt really used by games as it only supported 16 colours, the 320x256 mode supported 32 colours normally or 64 using the halfbrite mode. The Amiga was so versatile that you could have several resolutions and palettes on the screen any any one time. Interlace was supported by a few games like Gloom, HAM was used also for Pioneer Plage and a few others Damn, i miss my old Amiga days lol There are fantastic interviews with devs of Amiga cames over at Codetapper - http://www.codetapper.com/amiga/ and a view insights into the graphical tricks used in games.

The game you talk about is Speedball 2 by the Bitmap Brothers. Just for the record i can name every single game in that video. Pretty sad hey, shows how much i loved games back in those days and even before that on other systems.:) Eclap will be happy with 1:29 i think one of his most favourite games ever Flashback and the Successor to Another World at 3:17. Respect RJ Mical and Jay Miner. Guru Meditation.

Haha Thanks m8 i was playing Speedball 2 only a few months back on my PC and couldn't remember the name of it, never mind back to the 80s. 🙂

RIP Denise & paula...loved you....
