Which Amiga pack did you get? - Page 2

alexh · 13 January 2006, 12:09

Add "A1200 Amiga Magic" after A1200 Innovation please.

Heh, someone's already added A500 Starter pack. I can find no pictures of such a pack, I know the games pack is listed on HOL http://hol.abime.net/5082 and a few usenet posts mention it.

Anyone got a picture of the A500 box / Sleeve? Did it have a special box?

DamienD · 13 January 2006, 12:14

Defintely remember the "A500 Starter Kit" in Australia. I believe this is what my parents bought us (as I was 13 at the time)

alexh · 13 January 2006, 12:21

We should try to trace some pics of this missing pack

Galaxy · 13 January 2006, 12:32

The brochure for the Australian A500 Starter pack has been Zoned!

Note: this starter pack is different to the one that Codetapper mentioned.

I've got a brochure for the Deluxe pack somewhere too...

Nice one Galaxy.

yeah I added it :O

I haven't added the packs in the places you ask because it would mess the poll up. People have already voted and so it won't look right!

I bought an A500+ pack with a games bundle in England in like 1991 from a well-known british chain. When I opened it it was slightly dirty, the plastic that you have to remove from the Amiga logo was missing, and it kept Guruing for no reason. So I knew I'd been given a used (stolen) Amiga as had many others, I've been informed. Anyone know of this scam?

Earlier, when I lived in Sweden, I had bought two A500s with Swedish keyboard and no game bundles. Was like 350 Euro back then. Another 100 Euro for an extra disk drive, another 100 for extra memory... :S

In later years I've gotten an A1000. I have a bunch of Amigas now, my best one is the 040 with 10 megs and two zipdrives on SCSI-II that I got in 93. If I could afford it I'd get the bestest Amiga there is!

Chain · 13 January 2006, 22:31

actually, im collecting pictures of packs, hardware and games since 2001 from ebay

its A LOT of pictures

needs little sorting, but it will be good reference

what pics you need exactly ?

Chain · 13 January 2006, 22:35

Found another pack: A1200 Fast&Furious!

/me

Chain · 13 January 2006, 22:44

A500 + airbus

Bloodwych · 13 January 2006, 23:52

Good old Batman pack for me. In fact, SOOO many friends bought the same pack that year.

Interceptor really hooked me for a bundled game, then again I used to love Falcon on the ST too. Shame the missions were over so quickly.

alexh · 14 January 2006, 00:29

Fast 'n' Furious is also called Race 'n' Chase. Dunno if that was the other side of the pack, or a new spin. Same contents

alexh · 14 January 2006, 00:31

Wow an official Commodore Amiga pack from germany with Thalion's A320 Airbus.... I should have known about that... didnt though

Jope · 14 January 2006, 09:26

My dad bought me the Batman Pack from the UK when it came out.. I was the strange one in my neighbourhood since everyone else had a finnish keyboard, but mine was UK. .-)

dondilly · 14 January 2006, 09:52

My pack isnt on the list.

It was the original A1500 pack consisting of:-
Platinum works
Sim City
Populous
and Battle of Britain - Their finest hour

I believe this to be the only 'official' commodre bundle, they later Sold the machine to retailers without software for them to make up their own packs

T_hairy_bootson · 14 January 2006, 10:06

@Galaxy: The zoned brochure and box cover were for the second starter kit. The earlier Starter Kit was the one Codetapper mentioned with Crazy Cars, Super Ski and putt putt mini golf.

Chain · 14 January 2006, 10:14
