Quick! Let’s name a social network after it!
i managed to get my hands on two Amiga 4000 040 in a local auction a few years ago.
Other than replacing the batteries and some minor repairs, i’m ashamed to say that they are just collecting dust.
Still, pretty to look at. God i wanted one back in the day! Now i’ve got two! 😄
I got on the Amiga train in 1990 instead. BBS and early internet!
I was lucky. Born in the last gen-x year and with parents in the upper middle-class in a western country. I could save up to whatever console and game I wanted but yeah, I never did play any sega consoles and I never did own a c64. But I did get my feet wet with some c64 games as I had friends who had it.
I’m glad I grew up with these games. Todays games, while superior or pretty much every way, all seem to lack “something”. There are exceptions of course. Games like dead red redemption 2 are something else!
Yeah Super Metroid was as awesome as you can imagine as a 14 year old!
I played it a LOT on my Amiga. My cracked version had a, let’s say, “interesting” crack intro.
Cool, found it on YouTube. It’s sort of NSFW: https://youtube.com/watch?v=wG84cj4rago
Emergency crash-cart for retro gaming. You are my kind of person!
The voice really… fucking hell!
