... And found my old Amiga! it is an A500+. I pulled it down and went through the box and the rush of memories coming back was overwhelming!
I remember spending hours with my Sister playing Bubble Bobble and Shufflepuk Cafe.
I remember the Chaos Engine, Lemmings, Cannon fodder, Monkey Island!
I remember seemingly breaking a joystick every few weeks
Really good times, I was smiling so much going through this old stuff. I plugged it all in and got the familiar sight of the purple screen floppy disc going into the drive.
I inserted a disc into the disc and it started making noise and the drive light came on, the screen went solid purple and looked to be loading a game however then it simply went back to the disc loading screen. I tried another disc and another until, I had probably gone through 20 of them with no joy the same result each time.
I can only conclude either after 20 years either all the discs are fecked or the drive is buggered. I ordered a cleaning kit from Amigakit and am waiting for that to arrive.
I would like to get it running and play some old games, then I wouldn't mind modifying updating it if I can.
Was hoping I can get some advice on A how to fix it and be if there is anything I can to update/upgrade it.
I still have the originally Bill of Sale too for when my dad bought it at a Computer fair in Earls Court November 1991
He got the Super Galactic Pack £399!
Here are some photos there are a lot more games than what you see.
The other thing I would like to know is what is the easiest way to download games from the web and put them on a disc that can be played by my Amiga?
A quick google suggests it isn't as easy as I had hoped!
Cheers,
Chris
