Got the Amiga 500+, lotus turbo challenge was ace!! (now have the theme tune stuck in my head tho!)

Did anyoe have Lemmings and Worms, two other quality games

[ZeroBlade]

yep, yep, i had/have s**t loads of games for the old amiga.

took it out of the loft last year for a quick blast but the modulator's bust, so i can only output in black & white, bah!

No worries tho as i've got the emu on me xbox. heaps of fun with m8's when every1's ******.

we usually end up playin mario kart (SNES version) haha.

[EircamAE86]

i gotta admit they r good m8, but get an xbox, then get it modded.

u can play pretty much ne old skool console via emulation all perfect. then theres the bonus of playing movies, mp3's etc on the xbox also.

i even had it set up in my last car with a screen. just used it as an mp3 player most of the time and if u change the hd to a larger one u've got tons of room!

I'm with zeroblade here... I have a Xbox and play Amiga and other emulators on it. Loads of fun !!

I was actually playing it the other day and everytime a cool game came on with sweet tunes, I phoned Jappy up and made him listen.... lol. Sad I know.

Just try "The Killing Game Show" ... amazing tunes !

You still get the old " Software Emulation" error things tho... just like a real Amiga.. lol.
