It had some of the bigger games like Dune and others. I have all 5 disks some place, but no longer have the Amigas I used to have. I had a 500, 600, 1200, and another that I cannot remember the number of it. Maybe 1000?
There were 1000's of games on the disks and almost all of them would work on at least one of the Amigas I had.
I did not know at the time just what a bot was for, but the hackers in the chat room had wars with each other through the bots. It was fun to watch.
Firebird, Mech, you guys still around?
Ah yes, the good old days in #amiga-warez ... hymie was so paranoid all the time, he still is there at galaxynet i think.

My friend matt bought the beavis cd's and was quite a collection.. there was another disk he put out also called CDTV_TEST i think.
Napalm actually bought beavis's old A4000 tower.

@codetapper: thanks for uploading them! grabbing the 2 that are there now..

Yup, a necro post.......

Have downloaded the copies of the Beavis CDs from the EAB Google Drive and they appear to be corrupt.... can see the contents on them but cant do anything with them (copy etc).

I'll try via FTP if I can remember details but in meantime anyone else had this issue ?

Looks like it is something to do with the format of the CD image. Fire it up in WinUAE and its all good. Guess I'll just have to copy to PC drive from WinUAE
