Which Amiga pack did you get? - Page 3

Not sure what the pack was.. but it had Rainbow islands and chase HQ. It's possible it was called Appetizer since there was some crap wright/paint program appetizer bundled as well.

This is the pack i had!.. Your right Galaxy, we didnt really have packs as such here in Australia.. I ended up getting an Amiga in the mid 90's after a friend of mine bought one. I saw his machine running Interceptor and Indiana Jones, and all i can recall saying was ( Wha wha wha ... what!!??? i cant believe this, i just cant believe it!! ), so i started saving as much i could as fast i could to get one!, because by this point, the Amiga was like seeing GOD !!!!.. lol..... I just had to have one!.. it was a MUST!!!

I sold my A500 and bought the A1200 the minute it was released, and for me, it was just the bare bones system... it came with only manuals and workbench disks... but who cares!!! this was the next big Amiga, and thats all that mattered to me!.

My first Amiga was an A600 Lemmings pack with Lemmings / DP3 plus Silica's chaos pack which had Syndicate, Chaos Engine, Pinball Fantasies and Nick Faldo's Championship Golf.

Later on I bought an A1200 Magic Pack from Special Reserve where they also included about 20 other software titles.

My First Amiga was A500 1.2... no packs in those days!

My First Amiga A12oo was one of the first in the country (£420!!!!!!!) and again, had nothing

I had the A500+ Cartoon Classics pack, but my A1200 had no bundle with it as it was bought as soon as it was available.

With my A500+, it also came with another games bundle which had Karate Kid, Battle Squadren and quite a few others. Can anyone remember what that pack was called?
I've been trying to remember for hours but i just can't think of it

My first Amiga was a 2000, and there were a number or "Educator Packs" direct from Commodore (my Mom was a 1st grade teacher for 37 years). I bought the A2000 and a 1084DS as one of 3 packs. There was a 500 pack and a 3000 pack as well, but I couldn't afford the 3000 at the time!

I bought a 1200 Magic Pack second hand a couple years ago.

Mick_AKA · 15 January 2006, 20:35

I had the A500+ then very soon after a 600HD again very soon after that a 1200 Desktop Dynamite pack.

MOS-6581 · 16 January 2006, 11:11

I got the A1200 Race 'n' Chase pack. I kept the box and even the outer box it was delivered in. Its still in the same condition the day I got it back in November 1993!

SilentBob · 17 January 2006, 00:54

Actually, at the time I bought my A500 and later the A1200, all they had was the plain computer with WB disks. So that's what I got both times.

BippyM · 17 January 2006, 00:58

I got some silica pack with mine too I think.. Came with Stiker, Zool, Transwrite and something else (Can't remember)

Coolit · 17 January 2006, 19:00

No CDTV!? there were two packs, one bare CDTV and the full blown one with a KB, Mouse and FDD.

Chain · 17 January 2006, 22:42

i have two those packs, but without boxes, so i dont know ho it was named

(

MOS-6581 · 18 January 2006, 15:57

Yeah, I got the Silica pack too, the missing one is Pinball Dreams. They also bundled it with Photon Paint 2 and GFA BASIC 3.0.

BippyM · 18 January 2006, 20:18

I didn't get GFA or Photon Paint 2

I feel ripped off now!

Just a little thread to see if anyone remembers their first/favourite amiga pack they bought from new.

My first memories of the amiga were when I borrowed a A600 from a friend who was selling it I had one game which was trolls which I got off a amiga magazine as a full game, I was amazed at how quick it loaded and how good the graphics were compared to my old c64 I had for years.

Ended up going into the sales on boxing day in hitchens an ex catalouge shop where we decided to go the whole hog and my mum bought me a A1200 desktop dynamite pack, I was mega chuffed with it, it came with Deluxe paint, wordworth, dennis and oscar, the games were fairly lame compared to some of the best the amiga had to offer but I wasnt bothered, I had as far as I was concerned (and still am) the best computer ever to be made.

Anyone else remember their first amiga purchase?

BippyM · 03 February 2006, 22:35

magnox: merged your new thread with this one as it basically asks the same question

Avanze · 03 February 2006, 23:05

Standard A500 plus bundle, I think.

Galaxy · 13 February 2006, 23:29

There is a lot of info on Amiga packs here:
http://www.amigau.com/aig/bundles.html

alexh · 14 February 2006, 03:04

Mate, this isnt about what bundles exist. I already KNOW what exists. It's about which one you had and having fun remembering the time you saved up / unwrapped it at xmas / stole it from WHSmith.

So what is it Galaxy huh? What was yours? Dont tell me.... you were an A600 Epic pack?

Galaxy · 14 February 2006, 06:41

I already responded to this poll earlier (A500 Starter for me was the only "Pack"; also got an A1200HD with software pack equivalent to Desktop Dynamite - but it was just in a bog standard A1200 box; and an A600HD - again no pack)

I posted the link cos there seemed to be a lot of packs missing from the poll ... and it might also jog some memories.
