Damn you all...

copperkid · 05 March 2010, 21:15

By chance I happened to find this forum and was so fascinated by all you people still active about the Amiga...

Needless to say, in 10 minutes I got sick with the "Amigitis" again (I actually think it never went away), searched on ebay for a good piece and got myself an Amiga 4000/40: now my wife has another "what do you need this OLD thing for?" looking for a permanent place in our apartment!

I liked to program in assembly when I had my first A500 and I did the music for a couple of ugly demos that we never spread around too much (hopefully I'll find them somewhere sooner or later and post it).
I also started a game with a couple of friends that never got past the first technical previews... fortunately I should say, as looking back the idea was soooo boring, we thought about a puzzle game where the player had to direct cars to fill up a parking lot in the best possible way

..but I was very proud of the piece of music we wanted to use for the highscores! hope I can find that as well one day.

I think that's enough for an intro, hopefully I'll be working on an old school demo soon and post it around!

Hi copperkid - post some pictures of your new Amiga when you can!!

Bloodwych · 05 March 2010, 22:26

Be careful - it can be a slippery slope back into childhood if you're not careful.

Welcome aboard.

Welcome! You'll never get rid of amigaitis now though, you're doomed :-)

Allen1 · 05 March 2010, 22:41

Aha another victim of Amigatitis, this looks like an epidemic is a strong possibility

Good to see the fun never went away for you

That's the spirit

Just fix up your Amiga with a brand new keyboard, mouse and screen, stick the A4000 in a drawer, and your wife won't mind

Or tell her that you like the A4000, because it's a very nice computer...

Welcome aboard copperkid

I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay

Welcome, Copperkid...

There are more Miggy forums out there that can feed your 'new' addiction... you have only to search....

TCD · 06 March 2010, 15:50

Damn you too copperkid

Enjoy your stay and make sure that you don't forget about that demo!

Muzkat · 07 March 2010, 01:12

Welcome matey.

copperkid · 07 March 2010, 12:20

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

Here's a picture of the beauty, I think it's in a good shape even if the keyboard sucks big time.
http://yfrog.com/jca4000wipj

I have the full case but it's still open because I've been lazy and didn't setup a serial cable yet and I'm copying files back and forth to a PC via the compact flash card...

This setup won't last that long as I've promised that the living room will be in a clean shape by the end of the day

For the old 90's demos and music you have to wait until this summer when I visit my parent's house again and look for the stuff in the cellar, the new one will be hopefully ready before that!

ps I've posted another picture, a detail of the battery, in this post:
A4000 - Does this battery need to be replaced?
