That's a really neat setup you've got there Djay with the wall-mounted speakers.

Me likes!

That mouse mat looks very familiar....where did you get it?

Also what do games look like on the large LCD.

Like the Frontier map just to the right. What's the poster on the back wall? Great stuff!

I remember that poster above lcd,

.

ScreenGems ad poster, I remember my dad having loads in his shop.
I even borrowed a few,

.

Yours looks like the original A500 Sleeve.

thanks Bloodwych
the mouse mat is a cutting pad... bought for £1 from a hardware store... on my original A500 i bought a Golden Image mouse and that was supplied with a cutting pad, i find them much smoother!

the 22" Samsung LCD Tv is great when connected with an RGB scart cable thats been fixed for LCDTVs, otherwise you get a slight wobble.... i only use it at 4:3

well spotted FOL... indeed its a sleeve from the screengems pack, the first Amiga i ever owned, this one was kindly donated by IanC (the sleeve is only damaged in the bottom left corner)

My fave joystick ever (as long as you get the one with the good microswitches in.)

Look closely, to the left of the grey/red joystick. There you will spy the zipstick!

indeed, i had two different versions of the Zipstick, one came in a box made of thicker card and felt much more solid than the other which had a dull matt finish and was made of a cheaper plastic

the other joystick is a Quickjoy Topstar

i only use it for flight sims

Very nice Amiga setup you have there, that A1200 is kicking some serious butt!

squidbass · 08 September 2011, 16:17
