I used to have an Amiga given to me by my father who was a big “Amiga lover”. I tried WinUAE and it was hard as heck to configure, have to follow this article and try again! Thx Racketboy!

I am a proud user of Windows Vista and i cannot understand that i have to PAY for inferior OS such as Windows 95 or Amiga Emulation! The Materialistic perversion of the current Computer scene is in contrast to the codex of the old scene existing since Commodore 64, i feel very much alone today in this cold materialistic commercialized so called scene! Try some idealism instead of the chase for money, most genial people don’t own a single cent!

Today, the best use for the Amiga is in music composition type of work. Deluxe music construction set, Sonix sequencer, Melody Maestro, Super Jam, Bars & Pipes, Music Mouse, Instant Music, Octamed Sound Studio,Music X, just to mention a few good programs are as good as any new software software of that type available for newer computers. Some of them can be used with midi musical equipment such as guitar Synth, Midi Keyboard, midi sound generator boxes, ect.

The Amiga was also where the Lemmings and Worms series’ were first conceived, before they were quickly ported to everything else. Those games, along with Cannon Fodder and Sensible Soccer made the system what it was, and were far more playable with a mouse than a joystick/pad.

Was there any systems out there other than the Amiga that had a good, non B&W GameBoy port of Parasol Stars? Why there was never a Mega Drive version is beyond me..

I think many person would disagree with the above poster on his first statement, but everyone is entitled to their opinions.

The comment regarding music, however, is probably widely agreed upon by people that have heard Amiga music. I definitively think that there is lots of excellent music in Amiga games. As a specific example, the music of Captain Blood was apparently created by Jean-Michel Jarre (and probably the best version of it is in the Amiga).

If you are interested in hearing some tunes without running the respective games on the emulator, many of the original musics are available in dedicated sites (try http://www.exotica.org.uk). You may need a special player (I use deliplayer) as the formats of the music are somewhat esoteric.
