How about a 'Dragon' .. anyone ever have one of them??

Yep, had one off them.

Then had a Spectrum +.

All I seem to remember is one of them need a cassette player to load games, but it took about 15 different machines to find one that worked.

I was too young for X-Copy :(

Here is another game to throw at you all

Rick Dangerous

I preferred switchblade and switchblade2

I have a box full of amiga floppy disks with games and demos on, just no real amiga. I have got most of them on winuae, but I am sure nothing can beat a real amiga.

Just found this, the Amiga debut on TV from 1985

While we're on that topic... What the hell happened to Tomorrow's World?

Oh, and excellent clip

X-Copy (pro) was my friend :)

X-Copy Pro used to have a music option didn't it? Or had tetris built in or something. I remember it having something to keep you occupied whilst it copied discs...

Damn you all... as a direct result of this thread I found myself buying an Amiga A1200 at a boot sale on Sunday - For £25 !

Yet to connect it up but it should be good on a 32" TV

XCopy Pro had Tetris built in - what a quality program

If they arwe anything like my old amiga disks then most wont work. They dont seem to like being unused in lofts etc...

Remind me... do I need on of those additional boxes to connect a 1200 to a TV? I remember I had an additional box of tricks that had to be used to connect the A500 to a TV.

There isnt one with what I bought at the weekend.

The modulator was built in on the 600 and I believe the same applies for the 1200.

That said you are better using the composite video output and connecting that to a scart socket anyway

Wings is awesome if you want a World War I flying game. If you haven't played it you should check it out.

Amiga Power was the best Amiga mag of them all. I still read my old copies sometimes as they're SO funny! Mainly because they were being as random as possible whilst the Amiga was dying and there weren't a lot of games coming out!

Correct

So, phil, does this A1200 have a HDD installed too?

Sadly no HDD :(

You could get one of these, but it would cost more than the amiga.

Someone mentioned the Amiga 1000 earlier in the thread, and here is one on ebay
