I had an Amiga 500 and then an A1200 during the platform's "golden age", and at some point I was absolutely FANATICAL about it. But then I realised I was a diminishing lone voice among PC owners and finally chose a 486 PC over a CD-ROM add-on drive for my A1200. Doom is actually the reason why, since I saw it on a friend's PC and was absolutely blown away by it.
@Foebane729 жыл бұрын
***** Well, it wasn't really just Doom, now I think about it, but the fact that Commodore went bust that gave the situation an air of terminal hopelessness, because after AGA (for which I applaud the Commodore engineers as the Amiga badly needed an upgrade), there would be no new Amiga hardware at all, at least from the company who knew the Amiga most. Yes, I knew about Escom and Gateway, but they didn't really know the hardware at all so weren't passionate about it. In any case, I'm glad I got a PC as I was there for the late-1990s "golden age" of the FPS, namely the Dooms, Quakes, Unreal, Half-Life and so on.

Once I got the full game, I had an amazing experience and I can still remember how happy I was once I defeated the gigantic robot on the last level, grabbed the key from it and almost got a heart attack when I opened the last door and was attacked by the most basic alien enemy some evil developer had hidden there.

I didn't even know much about the Amiga back in the days - it wasn't popular in Belgium (in fact almost unknown among kids) but I did get into PC gaming since 1993 and my first "contact" with the Amiga was through Stuart Campbell who wrote for PC Gamer around 1995. He had previously written for Amiga Power and half the stuff he wrote, was complaining about how bad the PC was, and how great the Amiga was. Sadly, his attitude seems all too familiar - as a retro gamer who has came to discover the Amiga and learned to love it, I encounter far too many Amiga fans who trash talk retro PC gaming which is very unfair - the developers moved onto the PC because the Amiga screwed up, simple as. The games made for PC by former Amiga studios were just as good if not better (Bullfrog for example) - it's sad because it almost put me off Amiga gaming the way its fans attacked PC gaming ...
@RetroDawn5 жыл бұрын
Surprising, since the Amiga was so popular in the rest of Europe, including the four countries closest to you: France/Netherlands/Luxembourg/Germany. And, even in the US, where it wasn't that popular, most kids who were at all into computers had heard/read about it, at least. Apparently there were at least a fair amount of Amigas in Belgium, as there's a club to this day: www.amigaclub.be/. Perhaps it is just because you and your classmates were younger than the age of folks who had gotten into the Amiga years before 1993? 1993 was the tailend of the Amigas' and other home computers' age. I wonder why the Amiga would possibly have been much less popular in Belgium than its neighbors. What computer and gaming systems, besides the PC, were popular in Belgium in 1993 and previous?

It's only good, that it moved to one platform. But golden age of PC ended very soon, in early 2000, when again "a separator" came into place, namely consoles. First playstation didn't do it, but Xbox, and stuff after it, ruined PC gaming. Now, all titles are developed firstly in mind with consoles, and it brought into PC bad optimalization, FPS limits, bad controls, menu and layout. Developers even stoped to think they have freedom on PC, while they are bound and limited on consoles, with stupid controlers with few buttons, so games started to be very silly, and also menus, etc. Money are money. Games are better selling on consoles. This is why golden age of PC was somewhere in mid 90's, to first 3d accelerated games. With Morrowind in 2002 and later, I already felt "console touch" in games, but after year 2010, it's beyond endurance.

Like Stu, I played on Commodore computers growing up. Fun fact about the name of the company... Jack Tramiel wanted a name that invoked military meaning when he started his typewriter company (the company began on a US Army contract) but Admiral (now Whirlpool) and General (as in GE) were already taken. He settled on Commodore, which was a traditional senior commissioned officer rank in the US Navy in the 19th Century. It has been used to a lesser degree in the Western world. Commodore itself is a translation of the original French word Commandeur, a translation of commander. com·mand·er /kəˈmandər/Submit noun noun: commander; plural noun: commanders; noun: Comdr. 1. a person in authority, especially over a body of troops or a military operation. Commodore Int'l presented an advanced GUI and technological innovations that never caught on, but set the stage for future innovations. In this case, Commodore is appropriate, as it literally means 'Leader.' They were pioneers and leaders in what they brought to the table. And even if they fell short for not taking up first-party software licenses and hardware shortfall, they are responsible for a precedent. Leader. Tramiel served with the US Army. Hark the phrase by Thomas Paine, later coined by General Patton and others. "Lead, follow, or get out of the way."

Britain's video game history is much more varied than ours here in the US. It's only within the last 5 years when my interest in retro gaming piqued that I found out that cassette tapes at one point had games on them. I've been I very consistent gamer since the NES arrived under the Christmas tree in 87 (I think 87). I always get the new consoles as fast as possible when they come out to this day. Not knowing people played games on cassettes felt like a betrayal to me. I felt like video games were keeping a secret from me. I played my NES and what I could figure out around the age 5 on my parents PC. To learn about the ZX Spectrum, the C64, the Amiga and anything else that had a keyboard was like a slap in the face. Why had NO ONE in America told me about this? How could there not have been a single kid on the playground that had something other than an NES or DOS PC? to this day it still baffles me. Anyway, now that I'm old enough I'm buying these old systems I was so robbed of a child. Without people like you, I would have never know this stuff existed, so for that, you have my eternal gratitude.

I love learning about this sort of thing. People who care about their computers and their games, and go above and beyond for them. People who Try.

Just stumbled across this video. Remember picking up Gloom from a shop in Leicester and being amazing how it ran on the A1200. Loved that machine so much. Spent days of my life playing it. I borrowed an expansion card from a friend so I could play Alien Bread as well. Were they called FPU cards? Great video though! Brings back a lot of memories.

The sheer niche and nostalgia tones underlying this video give me the impression Mr. Brown has a personal connection to the Amiga and it's titles.

I guess it was a few things! The Amiga spirit and the fans like us that have stayed loyal, the demoscene and scene parties, the disk swapping, new machines like the one you mentioned (ashamed to not have heard of it yet!) and the Amiga One. There was just something so special about those early Amiga days and the people that worked at Commodore back then. So creative. Every year or two I watch Dave Haynie's 'Death Bed Vigil' in reverence. A great little film that captures those early days in the world of micro computing when everything felt possible (until it didn't). I suppose I was being nostalgic but I still have my Amigas and rock my Amiga T-shirts with immense pride! I hope the Amiga spirit never dies. Thanks for capturing some of that in the video. I'll be telling everyone the Speccy isn't dead next!
