1992

Best year of my life...i was 16 years old, i had my Amiga 500 and i was carefree.
I'm feeling a bit melancholy these days, so many thoughts running through my head.
Why i'm thinking about that year?
Yesterday i watched a documentary about the 1992 USA dream team, and i found this on YT :

This one is great too :

I remember it very well. How can i forget Amiga?

and

The wind sound/effect reproduced by the Amiga's hardware is even better than the real one.

I'd like so much to feel these emotions again, but it's not possible.
Memories are all i have now. And memories will never die.

Nice. Especially liked that "Dylan Dog" installment (consider myself a fan of Soavi's "Dellamorte Dellamore"), until now I thought it was just a series of platform games like Diabolik.

Well for me 1992 was the year Sega released Sonic 2 and Streets of Rage 2 for my Sega Genesis. Great times when Sky One and many other channels were free to watch outside UK. MTV UK surprisingly used to play music instead of airing reality shows and had wonderful line up incl. Ray Cokes.

Oh, U2 and INXS on their tours, Seattle's grunge at the peak, Unplugged series. We would get to see Batman Returns, Basic Instinct, Home Alone 2, The Bodyguard in the cinemas. Let's have a toast to 1992!

1992 was a good year I got my first Amiga then and it was all very exciting, though I always wished I were a few years older and that I had gotten into Amiga earlier.

I feel sorry for all the kids of the Doom and Quake-generation, they'll never know how exciting home computers were back in those years and the 80's when it all started.

Oooohhhh yeah, what a great year.

I was 13 years old and had only one thing in mind...skateboarding all day long.
Mortal Kombat came out that year and I still see the TV ad in front of my eyes "MORTAL KOMBAT" !
The early 90's were the best years of my life no doubt about it.

1992 was also a great year for me and i was also 16 that year. I had already got Atari st and sold stuff saved money and worked my ass off for crap money to get my amiga 500 second hand. Me and my mates all swapping and trading games and porn lol. I wish I could roll back the years. Music was far better then as well. The 80,s were great as well with the CBM 64 and spectrum.

Agreed. 1992 might just have been the best year of the last two decades

I'd also agree with this statement.

I was 16 and loving my amiga (gaming, music production etc) plus at the age just started going out to rave's and also dj'ing.

have to agree, the Amiga was in its prime around that time (91' - '93) with some fantastic games!

I still can't get my head round the fact 1992 was 20 years ago! WTF, where does the time go?
