There's a reason that there is a famous old joke - "If Commodore bought KFC, they would rename it Warm Dead Bird" - I loved my Amigas (they were reasonably popular here in NZ) (and have emulators for when I get that nostalgic urge), but Commodore was terrible at marketing.

I got rid of my dad's amigas earlier this year, but in the meantime I've been trying to find ways to emulate the dozens and dozens of floppy games I had for that thing. I've almost got one to work--almost.

My dad did a lot of computer animation with Lightwave and started on the Amiga 500 with Video Toaster. It was incredible thinking back even today the kind of stuff that was possible when all I remember was playing floppy disc games like Dungeon Master on it.

I had to junk the Amiga 500, 2000, and 3000 when I moved recently because although they started up fine, the floppy drives wouldn't read the disks, or the floppies had been hosed by sitting in a dank basement for years, either way the couple dozen games I had were all useless. I kept them anyways, though.
