I let my Amiga hobby lapse. I realized that what I wanted was friends to come over so we could play together. But we never meet up like that any more. Everyone has kids. And now I have 8 Amigas that are collecting dust.


Oh wow. I remember the first time I played on an Amiga, freshman year college, 1988. Growing up on Commodores and Apple II and DOS, it looked like science fiction. I thought a 3.5” floppy was a hard drive.

We played a lot of a split-screen air combat game that was fun. And a racing game that was unreasonably hard.


There's a monthly Norwich Amiga Group meeting not too far from where I live - there's usually around 20 people there with various machines, and occasional 2- or 4-player game tournaments!
