    Idiots & the technically dim.........

    I have also a few cringeworthy stories from electronics shop assistants, but I would never insult one for their lack of knowledge, as mentioned above, it's simply not fair to expect someone on minimum wage to be an expert, sadly this is a product of non-face to face shopping, first the telephone...

    Modern Alternatives to Old Games?

    Ok, not strictly amiga, but certainly made by a reputable developer in such circles, there's but One game I would really like a modern replacement for is Dungeon keeper for the PC. I loved this game so much.. Nothing similar has come out since to my knowledge.

    Anyone ever though...why do I bother?

    I do a lot of buying on the "other bay" too. In my experience, a single item listed as "untested" when it clearly has everything needed to test it, from a seller not selling lots of goods is auctioneese for "I tested it, but it doesn't work, but I'm not going to mention it in case it drives...

    Why are people still spending crap loads building high end classic Amigas?

    Hello all.

    I still have my first PC. It's a pentium 75 with 8mb ram, sound blaster 16, and a voodoo 3DFX card in it. Haven't fired it up in years though. Welcome to the site Tom, from a fellow newcomer. :)

    Hi from a retro gamer bitten by the bug.

    Thanks guys. Yeah, micros machines and micro machines 2 on the mega drive were awesome! There weren't many consoles that interested me. I'm mainly a computer gamer. May pick up a ps1 at some point though.

    Hi from a retro gamer bitten by the bug.

    Hi. My names iain, I'm 34 and I'm a gas engineer/plumber from South Wales, UK. Firstly, I apologise for the wall of text, but I feel I have to share my story with like minded people. I've been an avid gamer since I first got my hands on an amstrad CPC 464 some time in the 80's ever since, I've...
