DeadShaun 25 Posted September 11, 2012 The Amiga was and always will be my favourite gaming system. I was surprised to learn recently that it was never a big hit in the US. I have very fond memories of my time on the Amiga, still have my 1200 in the loft somewhere, it's a shame Commodore went bust as I was really looking forward to a new Amiga with the new chipsets! :( the commodore and Amiga name lives on still though.... http://www.commodoreusa.net//CUSA_Home.aspxHave a tin of beans for being an Amiga owner! :beans: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sofaplayer@hotmail.com 22 Posted September 11, 2012 OP, that was EXACTLY my first console as well. I was a tiny lad, being born in 73 myself.From then i've gone through atari, microcomputers, 8 bit consoles, 16 bit, and then 32 bit and pc's, and well, the usual "modern" consoles and pc systems till now.i never had an amiga although i had the commodore vic-20 and 64, and the earliest pc i had was a 200Mhz pentium mmx.And the most amazing thing of all... I still have all my hair! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OrLoK 16185 Posted September 11, 2012 Hello allZX80 ftw, you young upstarts with your zx81s and spectrums. tch!Before that though, It was pong on a cheap home kit, no sexy consoles for us.My first proper arcade game experience was Battlezone in a Roller Disco called Top Rank in Reading. Now that's 70's right there.rgdsLoK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
internetTAB (DayZ) 76 Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) pong consoles... There are so many of them! Although My first I remember was an NES(Born in 85, the year! :D).

Gogster (DayZ) 626 Posted September 11, 2012 What's the betting this thread don't get over 3000 views and 230 odd posts like another "popular" thread around here. :)Ok lets give this thread a reason to live. So how many oldies remember this as being your first home "console"? Circa 1976'ish. It was just versions of Pong you could play on your tv. I remember being bored after two days lol... :lol:Right here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
