Amiga.. forever!!!
category: general [glöplog]
The only Amiga I've ever actually used was my uncle's Amiga 2000 (Workbench 1.2, or via diskette, 1.3), which was a remarkable sight in the early '90s while my family only had a Tandy 1000 TL/2. I remember Sky Fox (regularly playing as the paper airplane) and Marble Madness and Defender... AND he could use his monitor as a TV, which was totally awesome.
Beyond that, my favorite Amiga demos are "Hardwired", "Planet Potion" and "Silkcut"

Colour cycling and "Mode-7" tricks in Deluxe Paint IV, while listening to MODs, for months and months.
One word: Protracker
crusader: Although it could qualify as a demo, "Planet Potion" is a 64k PPC intro - and quite a good one, too, if not the best.
...yeah and of course the moment seeing Soundtracker playing those old Obarski etc tunes for the first time, with spectrum analyzers great colors and deep blue patterns :)
Seing Fajser's module for "Neural assault" flickering like a madman in Protracker was absolutely jawdropping.

mainly i love amiga for all the 7+ pages letters and beers and hot stuff ppl sent (from 88 to 93 almost every time you got a new game or demo you were like "WOW how did they do that?") all the ppl from the Amiga days I met and had nice times with. :)
First it was only gaming on the 500.
Then those intros before the games became more interesting than the actual game...somehow.
Then D!rt!e showed me Hardwired in 1992 (was 15 by then) and I was completely floored.
Later on creating music was the main activity along with drawing gfx. By 1994 I decided that I need a more sophisticated tracking software, bought a 1200 from a friend together with Octamed 4.0 and created mainly music and
lost track of the scene for several years only to pick up
again in 1999 and heavily upgrading the 1200.
For me the miggy is no ancient gaming device or just a crazy piece of HW to create demos on. My machine is still involved in the every day living & working process.
Be it gfx with ArtEffect,getting connected with MiamiDx, Email with YAM, she's got a Samba Service to share files via LAN, chatting with amIRC, FTP up/downloading with AmiTradeCenter, browsing the BBS with DCTelnet, writing letters with AmigaWriter, tracking misic with DBPro or Octamed Soundstudio, doing mp3 encoding with Lame060,...oh yes and sometimes doing some humble mnemonics with AsmPro :)
So, the babe is very well alive here...
