Good morning Amiga fans!
Just noticed this hello area, and I better just say hi!
I am bit of gaming nut approaching my 30s, so I grew up with the Amiga after the ZX Spectrum as a starter. I had a trusty A500+ which I still have in a bag in the loft. Recently I have got bored of the Xbox 360 and wanted to go "Back to the Future"; for some classics like Cannon Fodder, Sensi, Legends of Valour, Lemmings and Dreamweb. I have a good collection of old computers/consoles and among them a slightly broken A1200 and a tasty no-yellow A600. So I am now setting up my A600 with a IDE CF for Whdload goodness. Whilst waiting for my adaptor I have been playing on the PC WinUAE but its not the same! So I can't wait to get this A600 running on my LCD TV in the lounge. Anyway great forum here love the fact that old scene members are here, and I hope to become a regular over time. I have stacks of magazines from 1991-95, cover disks, Amiga Format subscribers disks and games that may or may not be rare so will be good to see if I can help out. Anyone else here love Zipstick joysticks? I was so pleased to see that I had two still in the loft. Last edited by BrooksterMax; 06 October 2009 at 10:26. |

Thanks Merlin, much appreciated.
I moved to Norfolk with my now wife from these here parts who I met at Uni, I am from the North West originally. However I do like Norfolk and after 7 years here might be classed as a local! ![]() |

What a friendly board!
My A1200 has cold boot issues probably the CAPS, and I don't have any solder skills (although I do have an soldering iron!). I could probably burn holes in the board but that is not useful! So I have advertised for another stock A1200 and will make a good one out of two! Actually I have already used the HD caddy and disk drive in the A600! Also A600 will fit better in the TV cabinet though ![]() |

lol my name is a play on my surname and PepsiMax, don't ask why its just how it happened.
But feel free to call me Max, most people do on Xbox Live ![]() I will defend the A600, yes it was probably a disasterous hardware launch by CBM, but its got retro-chic about it now ![]() Trying to get a replacement A1200 as we speak. |

I actually own an A600
