Some may know AMOS back from the AMIGA days. Today I got the news that a kinda windows version exists.

Even as an Atari ST guy back in the day, that warms my cockles. #oldskool

Now your reputation dropped sharply, Steve. Atari ST? Come on. Amiga rulez!

Steve Elliott · September 01, 2017, 21:18:06

Haha, but we had a faster processor and built-in MIDI...Plus I couldn't afford an Amiga lol.

Xaron · September 01, 2017, 21:26:12

Haha ok, everything's fine. I have to admit that the hi-res mode of the ST was way better than this flickering one of the Amiga...

Steve Elliott · September 01, 2017, 21:34:42

Yes I did love that high res monitor, after the years of TV based computers - like the ZX Spectrum lol.

You can't beat the Amiga though for games like Lemmings and Battle Chess...And Defender of the Crown!

And on both systems, games like Speedball 2 and Xenon.

Oh yeah, looks like you are like me. Well beside that stupid ST decision.

Defender of the Crown... Turrican... Populus... Memories come back...

Steve Elliott · September 01, 2017, 21:38:15

Good times, my friend...And don't forget Dungeon Master!!

Xaron · September 01, 2017, 21:42:46

Steve, I guess we need our own thread instead of spreading our memories all over SyntaxBomb.

Steve Elliott · September 01, 2017, 21:47:14

Haha, I think it's called general discussion...Was good to reminisce tonight. Thanks mate.

Xaron · September 01, 2017, 21:49:43

Thanks too my friend!

Will keep you posted about my progress with BB3D2.0.

Steve Elliott · September 01, 2017, 21:53:26

No doubt with an Amiga lives! Splash screen...That only former ST users have to pay to have removed lol

Xaron · September 01, 2017, 21:54:57

LOL. Let's see. That would be an insider indeed. Kind of a gag almost noone would understand anymore.

Steve Elliott · September 01, 2017, 21:56:54

But us old farts would have a giggle

Xaron · September 01, 2017, 21:58:26

ROFL. Indeed! Would be a nice easteregg. But first there has to be something to start at all. lol
