Sometimes you just can't beat a classic no matter what systems we have these days!

Happy memories with this game!

Get sum pictures of it matey upped so i can see it. I had a B2000 in them old dark days

[dalboy]

Loved my amiga. Think I had a 500 then a 600+ or something.

I remember playing Mortal Kombat with my old man and I think you had to change disks after each fight.

Some of the games were like 11 disks or something??

[GOODTINGSaka]

[Mobileman]

Treasure Island was 14 disks lol, walk across the page complete task insert disk and repeat approx 300 times that day !!!!
Had an Amiga 500 +

best game was Super Cars II

[GOODTINGSaka]

i think im gonna go dig out my 1200 and a bag full a disk an relive some memories

[BBK]

I remember when I got my 1200, having had a 500 for years. Big decision, did I go for the 20Mb HD or the 40Mb - didn't think I would ever fill a 40Mb drive, crazy!

[Delboy_1976]

Oh yes, sweet memories!!

We got an Amiga 600 back in the day, we upgraded from our C64! Sensible soccor was the dogs, as was Speedball 2, Super Cars 2 and class game called Skidmarks!!

Oh, and I was sweet at Panza Kick Boxing!!

[unicus]

Still got several 1200's (1 in a tower) with all sorts of add-ons and some 500's, 600's, a CD32, boxes full of disks (along with lots of other old computers). They're all in my loft waiting to be sorted when I have the time (like probably never).

I do have fond memories of the 1200 though and still have a blast on some emulated games now and again.

Why oh why did the PC have to 'win'??

I always preferred Kick Off to sensi :-p

[maltloaf]

I loved SWIV, speedball 2, xenon 2.

Had an a500 for ages, spent an arm and both legs on a trapdoor upgrade and 20MB HDD for it. Eventually got an a1200 and put a 3.5" hdd in there via some adaptors. Very happy days

Can't believe nobody has mentioned Cannon Fodder yet. Best game ever! Ooh, and Syndicate, a grown up version of Cannon Fodder.
I had an A1200. I remember I spent my student loan on a 512MB PCMCIA hard drive (Yep, £350 for a half gig drive!!!) and £150 on a Blizzard 1220/4 accelerator board (4MB RAM and 68020 @ 28MHz processor upgrade.)

[mysterym]

I think we played the hell out of the original Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge, with kick off 2 (final whistle) coming in a close second.

Shadow of the Beast, Monkey Island, Final Fight, Hybris\Battle Squadron, Silkworm\SWIV and Turrincan 1 & 2 all deserve a mention.

[tawny]

I had a 500 with the 1/2 meg expansion that bulged out of the bottom. Fav games were Kick Off 2 (R. Shaw up front every time), Cannon Fodder, Walker, F/A 18 Interceptor

[CominAtcha]

I had an Amiga 500 with 20MB HDD, 2mb fast ram and an Action Replay MK III. Also had more floppy disc boxes full of games and demos (Red Sector, Budbrain anyone?) than God.

[Goldberg]

Rick Dangerous! Theres another classic.

Had a 500 with the 1mb upgrade, went onto the CD32 next. That would have been awesome if Sony didn't grab Namco from under the their noses!! Ridge Racer was set for a CD32 release prior to that!

$ony killed Amiga!

[funkyg]

Ridge Racer was set for a CD32 release prior to that!

killed Amiga!

Really? Blimey, I didn't know that. Ridge Racer was the reason I got the original Playstation.
Be honest though, the Playstation was a much better machine. Would the CD32 have played it as well as the PSX?
