Most annoying things non Amigians say

[lordofchaos]

Every Amigian must have experinced someting like this at some time in life..

Me: Lemmings, you must have heard of that game surely?

Non Amiga Person: Yeah wasn't that a PS2 game?

Me: So this is what the Amiga looks like.

Non Amiga Person: Wow, is that the keyboard? Wheres the Computer?

Me: When are they going to make another Elite game, I loved Frontier, it's amazing to think games like this could be made in machines with 1MB of memory.

Non Amiga Person: Whats Elite?

[pubzombie]

I spoke about Elite the other day and a room full of 20 year olds thought I was talking about Call of Duty Elite game service

Hehe I share your pain buddy

[Djay]

I find explaining what the demoscene is, is a bloody nightmare

And sometimes i have to explain what a cracker does

[Retroplay]

When they call Amiga games roms.

[lordofchaos]

And sometimes i have to explain what a cracker does

Yeah that can raise a few eyebrows, I would have to say no it's not a drug dealer

My friend is 16, he know some older games like Warcraft, Zelda, Final Fantasy but he never saw Lemmings
Most annoying thing from non Amigian - "I have better games in my phone, turn it off" when he saw Jaguar XJ220.

Yes, there seems to be a misconception that crackers are people who hack websites. Whereas we all know that the term actually refers to people who break copy protection.

"Ah well Amiga, I had a (sexy) 286[386|486|Insert anything] computer because I did not want to play all the time".

[mombasajoe]

When they say that the Amiga always suffered from a low amount of Ram ...and they are right.

Or when a drop in FPS is called "lag". Or when DirectX is called a "platform", etc. etc. We're in a world now where people do the tech-babble while they are still tech-ignorant. Its a hard thing to live with

I really hate it when people try dropping words in and have no idea what they are talking about.

Most annoying thing that non Amigans say:

"But Putty Squad came out on the SNES, why make so much fuss about the Amiga version....?"

Grrrrr....
