Amiga Emulator in Chrome Browser

Oh just let the Amiga die already :).

Kidding.. yay.

I can understand why there are still Amiga enthusiasts. When it launched it was about 10-15 years ahead of its time and was still affordable as a home computer. To this day the most impressive computer demo I've ever seen was done with the newly launched Amiga. :)
 
Lemmings and Worms still look better on the Amiga than they do on the PC.

Just for that I might give it (and Chrome), a try; I still have all my old A500 games and my A500+, the addon 20MB HDD/2 MB RAM pack, and the 1MB video RAM mobo hack; I even replaced the HDD with a 200MB job, and the onboard RAM chips with the fastest available at the time!!.

(Yes I know they were soldered on, it was a sod getting them out without damaging the tracks).
 
I still have in the loft an A500, A500+, A600, A1200, A1500, A4000, CDTV and CD32. Along with about 300 games (all boxed).

Yes I know....I was a little mad when it came to Amiga. Fond memories though!

I won't be happy unless it also emulates the Guru Meditations ;)
 
You are mad, the A600 was pants; I always wanted the A1500 though.

I got my mum to buy an A1200 and she ran our nursery accounts on it for many years; she was a right cheapskate though and wouldnt buy the HDD version!!! (previously she had borrowed and broken my 4+ and a C64 doing the same job - she learned to type in the 50's and kept hammering the computer keys right through the housing!!)

Hold on to it Martin because in another 10-20 years that stuff will be the modern day equivalent of a valuable antique.

I beg to differ to a degree....unloved IMHO as the A1200 came out a few months later. However, a few things that make the A600 stand out. It was the first entry level Amiga to use Workbench 2.0, previously found on the A3000. It was also the first Amiga to use surface mount technology on the board. Also most people don't know the Amiga A600 was the first Amiga to manufactured in the UK, in Scotland.

The biggest failing for it was the fact the A600 could not be expanded like the A500+ before it, but it could be expanded to a degree that mattered, such as Workbench 2.1 and Workbench 3.0 could be added. However, the A1200 that came out later the same year was all those abilities and much better spec, such as 14Mhz CPU. If anything, they got the launch timings of it all wrong, but it did show the direction they were taking under the hood. It was a good entry model and sold a good volume of units.

Oh I intend to. People forget the CD32 was the world's first 32bit console. Yet again, poor marketing from Commodore let it down.
 
Well my Amiga A1200 is in the wardrobe plus its Amiga monitor on top of the wardrobe, wouldn't part with them. Atari still there also perhaps a modern day horder of technical equipment :D

It would have been interesting to see how the people behind the Amiga would have faired if they hadnt been snapped up by Commodore.
 
If any one wants to lend me their Amiga with syndicate my pm box is open, couldnt you get cannon fodder for it as well?
