I I told my wife that I wanted a Mini Amiga for Christmas. I know it’s only April, but she’s making what she wants in hopes that this is what her wife will think when she shows up unexpectedly at the house next week. she He bought it for me. I’ve used this method to discreetly purchase seven game consoles, a stuffed tarantula, and a fryer. In a world of contradictions, I like the way this institution of marriage works.
I read the review and was surprised to see two words that appeared that had no connection whatsoever to the original Amiga. They are “cool” and “cool”. Love. It may seem strange to say that the Amiga wasn’t loved, since so many people bought and used it. But people use things they don’t like every day: electric shavers, perseverance, door handles, trains.
people loved ZX Spectrum.They are loved mega drive. When I talked to the owner, Any Nintendo machines, from the Game Boy to the Switch OLED, now sound like Romeo talking about Juliet, like Meredith Gray talking about Derek Shepherd, or like Elon Musk talking about himself. Masu.
As someone who was actually there in the 80’s and 90’s, the Amiga didn’t enjoy that kind of love. why? Because it looked bad. The Game Boy looked like an alien artifact from a trendy 70s sci-fi show. The PlayStation is what you get when you combine a high-end vinyl turntable with the sexiest sandwich maker imaginable. The Xbox 360’s curves were the definition of glamor. He was one of those rare machines that looked just as beautiful lying down as standing up. Even now, when I see one in the wild, I run my finger along its curves.
The Amiga looked like something a bank teller would use. It’s not a cool bank-related job like stopping a robbery.
I know the Amiga is a computer, not a console, but so was the ZX Spectrum, and it looked tasty enough. The Atari ST didn’t look great either, but at least they angled the top row of function buttons to make it look that way. considered Its aesthetics.
They should have at least cut off the corner of the Amiga. That would have helped. It was also usable on Game Boy. (Actually, it first worked on the Fender Stratocaster.)
personally?I really did Love Amiga. I’ve had more great nights on this machine than any other in terms of play time and quality of that time. It gave us the best party game ever with Sensible Soccer, the best futuristic (and best-looking) sports game with Speedball 2, and the best time-consuming game with Championship Manager, which slightly beats Sim City. And I don’t know if there’s ever been a more mathematically accurate sports game than Jimmy White’s whirlwind snooker.
The Amiga provided Lemmings and Worms with the most originality and humor. In IK+, 3 player play fighting game. In the early ’90s, even whispering something like that could get you burned in a giant wicker box. I had never read the Dune books, so watching the Dune movie reminded me of my first introduction to that world, the amazing Dune 2 Amiga game.
Secret of Monkey Island is the best adventure game ever made, and it might just be the funniest game ever. “Cannon Fodder” was also interesting, but at the same time it was poignant and sad. Could there have been a better game developer than Sensible Software? Game development now sounds fun and cool, not the words we used to associate with game developers.
Amiga was solid. It was reliable. Even before I played the game, it felt good to put the floppy disk into the slot. That pleasant thunk sound. The way it grabbed the last few millimeters of the disc and pulled it in was very reassuring and believable.
I don’t remember anything breaking on my Amiga. I don’t remember any games that didn’t load. The peripheral equipment was also solid. I can’t believe my delicate little cheetah bug joystick took such a beating from Sensible Sucker alone and survived. All I have to do to break his R1 button on the Xbox controller is look at it with disapproval.
Like the Spectrum before it, the Amiga allowed people who couldn’t afford a PC to play games on their computers. Then the PCs killed it. Microchips were getting cheaper and the Amiga just didn’t work fast enough and seemed to die really quickly.
We couldn’t love the Amiga enough. We were like Andy getting Buzz Lightyear and then putting Woody in the cupboard. Unfortunately, Pixar doesn’t feature the Amiga in a single scene in the movie. Instead, Toy Story featured Speak and Spell. Have you ever played Zool? that?
