Uhh.... thousands of playable Amiga games online? *drops dead*

Very cool, I used Amiga for years. At various times I owned an Amiga 1000, Amiga 500, and Amiga 2000.
 
RType, Bubble Bobble..is that Batman The Movie game the same as the awesome NES game?

I know what is happening at work next week when boss is gone...😱
 
I was a Commodore guy (VIC-20, C-64) and first got into programming on them. I never could afford an Amiga though - I really wanted one.
 
I wasted so much time trying to beat Project X...

Too bad they don't have Gods: Into the Wonderful, I loved that game.
Shouldn't have looked it up on YouTube, now I want to play again :/

 
What were the msrp's on these things at the time? Is this what PCMR folks were using while I was on my peasant NES and Master System?
 
I still have my Vic 20, Commodore 64, Commodore 128, Amiga 2000, AND Amiga 3000. Yeah, I might like Commodore a tad.

And for you children asking what an Amiga is.........😵

Depends on a lot of factors. The Amiga 1000 came on the market in 1985 at a cost of around $1200 for the base model IIRC. The 500 and 2000 were released in 1987 and I think the 500 was introduced around $600 or so and the 2000 was at $1400 or $1500. The 3000 was introduced in 1990 and was $2000-$3500, depending on model.

I got the 2000 in 1989 and rebuilt it a couple years ago, around the same time I acquired a 3000 and refurbished it. 😀
 
@digiram: They were not PCs and they weren't that expensive compared to other systems. They were marketed as gaming systems though which caused them not to be taken seriously for business purposes, and the software was easy to copy which meant that the market wasn't big enough for it to be profitable.
The graphics and audio of the Amiga 1000 (first released in '85) was not matched by affordable consumer PCs until about '95.

I'm going to disagree with that. The Amiga was marketed as a graphics and multimedia workstation first and a gaming system second, at least until the Amiga 500 was released. In fact, remember who Commodore brought in to the world premiere of the Amiga in New York to demonstrate its power?
 
Still scrolling through them, but I'm looking for a WWI themed bi-plane game I absolutely loved. Can't remember the name, but there were missions where you could strafe a convoy, go after dirigibles, balloons, etc. and dogfight.

Sounds vaguely familiar but I can't remember it either.

Edit: Red Baron maybe?
