I heart this thread.
Loved my huge collection of commy and amiga stuff back in the early/mid 80s, one of my amigas was upgraded to a massive 1MB ram and kept me going til 1989/90.
Keep the pics and posts coming
68030 @ 25Mhz
Vroom vroom!
I'm saying, in this day of placing Ghz instead of Mhz after the 'at' - a good ol' machine can still do actual stuff cyberpunk style.
Also, the demo scene...
Here's a video of my Commodore 64 playing the Miami Vice intro from the 80's, all possible due to the 8MB Ram Expansion Unit (REU) built into the 1541 Ultimate II+. Bear in mind that the C64 is actually rendering the video with no CPU upgrades whatsoever, video converted using NUVIEmaker.
Excuse the background noise of my wife packing the dishwasher....

What machine is that running on ?
The one from post #9 ?
As thats nice and if I recall my stock amiga with 1mb upgrade would of died before displaying that.
Hehe, I also remember the cracked games with the loaders, some had cool music and a scrolling design, others had mini games you could play whilst game was loading etc. This is when copying games took off for me, back before copying games was even considered illegal.
I seem to remember I had some copying discs that could basically copy anything, if the stock copy didnt work, the nibble copy option which was slower always worked
Had hundreds upon hundreds of amiga games and loved most of em, shadow of the beast 1 and 2 FTW
Dont do it now though but boy it was fun when I was a kid.
Only one thing missing from that video, audio.
miami vice tune was cool back then.
When watching these demos, consider that a machine that first hit the market in 1986 is rendering those video's. Admittedly it's using the last AGA chipset and a 68060, but apart from that every other custom chip is present and the architecture is all Amiga.
Pretty remarkable to see how powerful it is, even today those videos look nice and that was using stuff from the mid 80s.

I agree that their management were retards.
Commodore should in my opinion still be a big player in todays market if they had their heads screwed on back in the day.
They had a gaming system and an office system in one and it didnt cost you an arm and a leg to own it like it did with others.
