Hi
Just thought I'd drop in and say hello ![]() Kinda New-ish to the Amiga Scene... I'll explain. I say new-ish, in the Mid-late 90's I had an Acorn A3010 which Ran Risc OS 3.10.... What has this got to do with Amigas ? Everything and nothing. Most of the Games I had for the A3010 were Amiga ports (company called Krysalis I beleive) First Game I bought was Lotus 2... the soundtrack is rattling in my ears as I write this ![]() Have an Arc Emulator as well, and can play all my non "Amiga Ported Games" but alas finding Arc copies of games such as Lotus 2, Canon Fodder etc is rather difficult/potentially expensive on the fleabay... sooo, I figured Amiga Emulation was the way to go (since I've found a stack of old Amiga stuff a neighbour was about to throw out!) Anyways I will post my requests for help in the other section.... cheers Andrew |

Ahh the Good old Archie *sighs*
![]() Nice Article ![]() Quote:
![]() And yes the "end" / break up was horribly messy. Risc OS is still going though and there have been a few machines (much like the new Amiga one) built on non RISC hardware - Iyonix, A9 home. but these have been developed by third parties as Acorn no longer exists (and even they have stopped production... same problems... who wants to pay £1200 for a low-spec PC, just because it runs Risc OS.... Not that I'm being picky but your Screenshot actually shows Risc Os 3 which was far nicer than OS 2 ![]() I actually went out and recently got myself a copy of "Strongarm Virtual Risc PC" - (yes I know I'm sad). and I plan on having it Running Risc OS 6 just "because I can" ![]() Silly Silly People Acorn/Commodore *slap* you both had good things going and yet you made the same mistakes.... (pricing, marketing etc) I mean really, When the Risc PC came out it was the best part of £1200 for a base model ![]() ![]() Right enough my Pee Cee Runs Amiga/Risc OS far faster than the old hardware could ![]() bleh I want my Arc back now... wish I'd never sold it... mind you the money I'd spent on it ![]() ![]() ![]() |
