The treasures youve thrown away

Dastardly · 02 September 2002, 13:47

When I think of some of the Amiga things Ive thrown away over the years it makes me weep

A huge collection of magazines from 1990-95 including....
Amiga Power
CU Amiga
The One
Zero
C+VG
Amiga Format
Amiga Action

Loads of Joysticks which I coulda used as parts (my real Amiga is now joystickless)

Loads of original games just because I didnt have room to store them all.

My Batman pack box.

Dast then>>>

<<<Dast now

Djay · 02 September 2002, 15:23

All the issues of Amiga Power and about 75% of Amiga Format, i gave away.... about 8 years ago (ish)...

*sob*sob*

And about 200 PD disks.. ARGHHHHHHHHH

the rest of my original Amiga collection i sold!!

but i do now have an A1200 with 85mb HD, twin ext. drive, zipstick, boxed games etc etc...

Paul · 02 September 2002, 15:40

All the Amiga Mags which were thrown away to the tip (the dump).

I nearly sold my A600HD to someone at sixth-form a few years ago. HOW DARE I THINK OF DOING THIS

For me it was the pile of Commodore User magazines that I sold with my C64 and the AGA incompatible Amiga games and Videomaster card with my A500. The things you do when you're young and silly!!!

Frog · 02 September 2002, 16:33

I still have some old paper magazine (french) but i should clean up my house soon. If some ppl are interested i'm ready to give them. I only ask to pay for the postal fee.
From Memory i have lot of Tilt, Generation 4, Micro News mag.

If you're interested send me a PM

edit : Someone answer to offer. If postal fee doesn't ruin him, offer is closed.

All AF issues back to issue 9
Tandy TRS80
Einstien (8-bit computer)

+Sold a load of games

ATTN Cody: What was that game I talked to you about? The lewd gfx/text adventure thing... I forgot the name again...

Drake1009 · 02 September 2002, 16:57

A couple of computer magazines with C64/Amiga reviews. Only have 3 issues left. Found a couple though but they're all curled up from having been lying in a damp barn a couple of years (how did they end up there anyway? I didn't want to throw them away, at least my P.P. Hammer poster was intact and still usable)

me too! I did this with 4 or 5 coverdisks. regretted it dearly ever since!

I havent thrown or gave away any of my otehr shit though. That's how me collection got started, with my stuff from back then

03 September 2002, 07:57

If a friend lent me some disks for a copying session and I was short of disks I'd have to erase some old crappy games I didn't play.

But worse than that - if one of the games I was lent was a crack of a original I already had, I copied it onto the original disk as I liked the cracks with the trainers !

I'm sure that was the only part of game-copying that wasn't illegal though !

Big-Byte · 03 September 2002, 09:48

My mate used to work at WHSmith and at the end of every month I used to get about 3-400 disks from him that were ripped from the front of the magazines before they went back to the wholesalers

The main thing I regret selling was my trusy Amiga Action Replay Mk III

I also got rid of my amiga A1200 with 250meg GVP Hard Drive
and sound sampler to pay for driving lessons..

and all the Amiga magazines I sold / gave away at the boot fair

No, it was the one where you start off in a gaol cell, and there are goblins everywhere. At the end, you need to climb down a chimney of a cottage...

Anyway, you said it was really rare - so I really regret selling that one...

For crimes against CAPS, I hereby sentance you....

MOS-6581 · 05 September 2002, 19:52

I've never thrown anything related to the Amiga I must say

(Except for some game boxes, but I'm not into collecting games really)

However (my mother) threw away all of my Commodore Format magazines (including the first issue!) and my (broken) Commodore VIC-20! God, I regret that, but I was only 8 or 9 at the time... I'm so desperate to get one now! When will the drought end? I seem to find every other computer at a boot sale, except for a fucking VIC-20!!!

You're not from Peterborough (Cambs) are you BigByte ?

The reason I ask is that I had a friend who worked for WH Smith's depot in Peterborough who did the same thing for me !

I remember sitting there for hours peeling off all the labels !

Shatterhand · 06 September 2002, 00:32

I have a teacher who owns a working Vic-20, and I doubt he uses it for anything.

I may ask him if he wants to sell it.
