Amiga 1000 in Stranger Things

Amiga 1000 spotted in Stranger Things season 04, episode 01.

Running some terminal software

You can see the Amiga 1000 at 14:47 minutes into the episode. Nice find redblade. I’ve never watched the show so did not know they snuck an Amiga in it. Must be an old fan or owner of this great machine.

I'm always happy to se the venerable 1000, and even if the mouse is disconnected...

they put some attention to details using an original keyboard

Haha I almost posted this last night. They have some weird colour theme going on with the desktop. Here are a few more shots. The Amiga plays a big part in that episode (although you do see it in a few others building up to the scene).

No idea how to insert images on this forum but:

I suspect they have used the Amiga to avoid using an Apple (what with Apple running a vial service to Netflix).

They actually put effort into that scene. Seems like someone that actually used an Amiga a lot was responsible for those shots.

Her fingers are near A(LT), so she is probably using A(LT) + cursor keys to drive the mouse.

they were sure retro fans would recognize the machine. Not as easy as spotting other models like A500, because of the PC look of the A1000.

Nice

I wouldn't have recognized the computer itself (never saw a 1000 in person) but I would have recognized that mouse instantly

Just one more reason to love Stranger Things, loved it from the start.

Not sure what's up with the C# using statements in the last shot!

That is indeed odd. You could say it's a strange thing

I show myself out...

Same here!

Great show, great machine

Maybe a good reason start watching Stranger things if they use Amigas here. Is anyone aware of other series or movies featuring Amigas in some scenes?

There's a whole thread about it: https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=8307

zx80 · 30 May 2022, 16:37

Hm Babylon 5 and Seaquest. Never recognized they used/promoted the Amiga. Thanks for the link.

redblade · 30 May 2022, 20:42

Well the memory doesn't seem to change from 429,568 bytes.

Also they must be a registered Commodore Developer as they are using Kick 1.3 in 1986.

I wonder who designed the screen grabs and hardware for them?

Euro Demosceners will complain because she isn't using K-Seka and C-Mon2.02 XD

vroom6sri · 15 June 2022, 19:57

Doh! I'm two weeks late but I only noticed the Amiga usage in episode S04E06. I almost cheered though when I saw it.

Well, she's a hacker, so maybe not a legally acquired kickstart... ;-)

Clearly fake. They're using a shader to simulate a CRT monitor. Also, the monitor's power led seems to be off.
