Delighted to be a part of this video Neil so very grateful for you chatting to me! So, let's just recline into something I feel is missed that Neil rightly feels at the end of this video. Is your 1992 Amiga meant to be your 2020 PC? No. Is it meant to be so fast you can open a JPEG in seconds, I'd argue, no. What it's meant to be is a portal to your younger self, a time of naivety , joy and just sheer fun. I honestly feel the Amiga 600 with no too much money spent on it is your portal. It's 68000 may seem slow to start with, but spend time with it and you'l be charmed. It can do so much. For me, it's being able to sit back and see it beam back to me my memories of the past, feel warm, but also critically know, it is making new memories that keep the present relevant. The Amiga 600 is in my book, the best Amiga you can own in 2020 for not a great deal of your spondulix,

Half the fun of that game was going in blind and trying out the various locations. Like the wizard's tower top right that was seemingly completely random in how the wizard would react to your visit (far too often just turning you into a toad and thus costing you a life). I think i may have faced the dragon once, and was woefully unprepared for what i was up against.

I came late to the Amiga party as when I was young could never justify the cost of an Amiga and went with the cheaper Atari 520 STFM but always wanted an Amiga. Now that I have a 500, 600 and 1200 I think the 1200 is the best as it has the advantages you identified with the 600 in having PCMCIA and an IDE port which means you can run your games from the hard drive and do away with problematic floppy disks. Also the PCMCIA makes it easy to transfer files to and from the PC which is so much better. If however you don't have a lot of room the A600 is a great space saver. Great video series Neil and looking forward to seeing the move to the new RMC headquarters!

With BestWB installed on Kickstart 3.1.4, the PCMCIA slot doesn't conflict with my 8MB RAM; I think it's the driver in BestWB that fixes that. Also, you can get a usb keyboard adapter on ebay that clips over the keyboard controller chip; this works well with a USB numeric keypad to provide the keys you need for flight simulators and such, and it doesn't interfere with the built-in keyboard, so you can get by with just the keypad plugged in when you need it.

Of course, we all had the Atari vs Amiga arguments, and I'm glad to see that topic got included in this video. 😁 Thanks again for making this mini series, it's making me think about recapping an Atari STE I bought a while back but have hardly used.

As a former A600 owner, I've got nothing but love for it. Completely agree with Neil and Pixel Vixen's assessments that for A500 owners it wasn't what they wanted (they were probably expecting something more like the A1200) but for newcomers it gave us the same feels as the A500 had for others. Would love the same setup that Neil has built, but I'm all about convenience, so I'm a dirty emulator 😀

If I were to pick up an Amiga now, it would likely be the A600 for the reasons you've described and also because I don't have the same sort of negative emotions of it from the days when it was new. Looking forward to the new cave in 2021!

Hi, I am lucky enough to own a 1200 with a hard drive and 030 accelerator from back in the day. Didn't realise they are getting prohibitively expensive! Tbh it is only worth grabbing a 1200 if you want to explore the rather esoteric 32-bit side of Amiga gaming, which is a kind of Aladdin's cave of unfulfilled potential. Most of the classic games are all playable on the stock 500/500+/600 machines, though. If you are only interested in the games it might be worth looking for a CD32; they are quite accessible and you tend to get the better versions of the 32-bit games... but you need to find a good controller as the native CD32 controller is awful...

Now you've got one A600 and a cure, would you show some games enhancements with ECS chipset over OCS ?

Yeah for the time it was perhaps not seen as enough to warrant a +100 on the name, but as you demonstrate the changes that were done made it more future proof. Also, Moonstone, now that's a game i have not thought about in ages. I recall the opening kinda freaked me back in the day but the gameplay was engrossing if flagrantly gore filled. The combat also suffered from much the same complaint as with Body Blows, in that it relied on a single button and stick movements to do everything. So you kinda had to be tactical rather than rely on reflexes.

I thought he'd already moved and just done a great job making the cave look the same. 😂, Now I'm really looking forward to seeing the new cave. I started with an Amiga 2000, I bought my little sisters an Amiga 600 at a Commodore Amiga show in Melbourne, it must have been around 1993 for I think $699 AU... For a 14 and 10 year old girls they loved it, especially James Pond. I eventually moved to an Amiga 4000/030 later updated with a Cyberstorm accelerator with the 060/PPC 604E? (I 🤔 think and which cost more than the Amiga 4000), a Cybervision 64 graphic card...... AAAAAAND, embarrassingly a genuine EMPLANT card that cost $999 AU and wasn't even as good as SHAPESHIFTER 😂... And all I did was play games... I gave it all to a friend who never appreciated it, but I'd trade it all in to be back in 1984 with my first computer... My beloved Amstrad CPC 464 with GREEN SCREEN when everything was new and EXCITING.... Who doesn't miss those days.

The PCMCIA socket and RAM over 4mb issue exists on the A1200, too. When I installed Doom, I first had to remove the fast RAM to use my CD-drive(basically a discman plugged into a SCSI adapter, which was then plugged into a Squirrel in the PCMCIA), copy the .wad into the Doom directory, turn off the machine, put the fast RAM back in, remove the CD-ROM then boot the machine to play Doom. Annoying part was, Doom was the only game I had that needed more than 4mb fast RAM, so I ended up just leaving the 4mb SIMM in unless I specifically was playing Doom, as a lot of my software and games were on CD.

@DavePoo
@DavePoo 4 жыл бұрын
I have 2 which i have recapped and they did both worked fine before the recap. So the caps "can" last this long (~30 years) and still work, but they are well past their expected life at this point. If they do start the fail they will leak electrolyte and that can corrode the board, so at this point in time (2020) it's better to replace them even if the Amiga is working perfectly. Also to note is that depending on what caps fail, you might not notice, so some only drive the RF modulator, some are only for the sound etc So a quick boot test might not even be good enough to tell you that they haven't failed and are leaking. I'm in the UK and they are places that will recap for you for less than the cost of the equipment you might need to do it yourself. If you only have 1 Amiga and you don't have the tools needed to do it yourself then it is the cheaper than buying the equipment.

My current A600 is almost identically upgraded. Upgraded enough to make it useful without all the complications of a bigger upgrade such as my amiga600.net project many years ago. Worst thing about the A600 is how the case clips break so easily. I have fitted enhanced ones to my machine now to make it more robust. Best thing is the form factor. Great backpack machine for visiting demoparties (imagine GOING to a demo party in the current global situation) when you are working on a project that doesn't require AGA.

I remember playing Bubble Bobble on the Amstrad CPC464. I use to love it :)

You may already know this, but there was an enhanced remake of _Bubble Bobble_ for the CPC developed by fans: cngsoft.no-ip.org/bb4cpc.htm (the game itself can be downloaded from the page at CPC-Power linked to from the bottom of that page)

Nice informative video. Trying to buy an affordable A600 in the USA is like buying gold bullion. Hmmm

Unless you're completely set on a fully retro setup, at this point its far better to build a MiSTer with a DE-10 Nano. You get all your retro computing in one tiny box including good CRT and HDMI support.

That’s a great CRT. We had that same Sony set as the second tv downstairs back in the day at my parents. My Dad wouldn’t let me play games on it though. I had to make do with a white Ferguson tv with 8 channels on the side & no remote. Occasionally I had to give it a bash Onslo style to get the picture straight. It had character, I think that’s what you call it.

the Amiga 600, a far more convenient machine than the A500... but at what cost? an A500 can still be picked up for 50£ (and less if lucky) but with no extra's though and mostly more brown than tobacco... while an working A600 is close to if not higher than A1200. here in Norway an working A600 will set you back a minimum 200£ if your lucky to find one for sale... there is also more available hardware for the A500 though some might be equally as expensive as all other Amiga systems. but that PCMCIA support and no need for the 520 though... vs 150£ more in upgrades on an A500, or going right for an A1200...

Sold hundreds of A600 when I worked in retail, however most people seemed to prefer the A500+ when available and later the A1200 (which was my favourite).

Who remembers the "on the ball" football manager? Spend evenings and night with friends on this game i liked the a1200 version wich had more colors. Also alien breed 3 was a great experience. My personal favorites. Also made alot of hardcore house music with Octamed.

I would like to see you tackle a A1200 and compare it to the A500 & A600 and would it be a better option

RMC, I really love your KZbin channel! Going through the history of every classic kit while rebuilding it, is a fantastic idea. I was wondering if that TRS-80 Model 100 you have on your shelf has been already rebuild? And if not, are you planning on doing an episode on it? That kit was *the one* computer I dreamed of having when I was a kid, but I could never afford it, at the time. I would love it if you did an episode on it!

Thank you, the amazing thing about that TRS 80 100 is that I found it in a bin...and it's really one of the machines that encouraged me to make the channel....just because I found it. I haven't actually covered it on the channel though so it really does deserve to have an episode and for me to share its story. Great idea, thank you Chris

8 GIGS!!! That's heracy! Mine CF(Compact Flash) is 512MB. As mentioned the PCMCIA are by far the best "upgrade" for both the A600 and A1200. To bad my A1200 has a really strange behavior, it freezes randomly both during boot(as soon as the drives starts reading, both HDD and DF0) the disc going in always works. and in Workbench/games without notice. And it happens within 5min to 5 week, yes it has been recaped.

The thing you've gotta remember with WHDload is it's a bit like playing pirated games, Like removing the protection, Hacking a game to install to harddrive can make strange stuff happen. Wizkid lacks most of the sound effects for exsample.
