true, however I don't know if the UAE Community attract other people besides us who grew up with Amiga and its games. It will soon also fall into dust, when we are no longer there with it. I wonder how future people will look at Amiga, I can picture people living in Gigantic Cyber Cities playing "Wings" and look dreamily at a time long gone, a time we experienced in the first place. They'll think "What was it like?"...

Tough little hombres for sure. Of course it is partly true because a lot of them will have required maintenance to keep functioning. I will never buy a real Amiga anymore because I can't keep it alive.

I haven't used my real Amiga in... a long time. 'The Amiga' is surely in an interesting place today 20 years after this thread was created. Calling it dead is not quite correct for sure

Thankfully enough people knew about the capacitor issue and saved their machines, and enough others have the skill / enthusiasm / time / money to restore damaged machines. New emulation solutions keep coming too.
What is far more vibrant than any of us could have dreamed is the market for new games - brand new creations (Reshoot 3 Promixa, Aquabyss), second attempts at conversions (Final Fight Enhanced, Bomb Jack Beer Edition), PC and other games adapted for high-end hardware (Death Rally, Dark Forces), even multi-format new games (Cecconoid, Ooze, Tenebra) - and more to come. Even if you thought you'd exhausted every great Amiga game in 2017, they've kept on coming - with plenty more on the way. |
