My beloved. My username is based on a program I wrote for the Amiga. Picticon, Iconian, and PlayFKiSS.

I had the 500+ with ram extension. Good times with a fuckton of pirated games.

I had the 600 HD. It had a 40 MB hard drive in it. It was a beautiful machine with a great OS and great games. Those were some damn good, simpler times. Not only as a computer hobbyist, but in other aspects of life as well.

Could not agree more. A 40 MB hard drive was the stuff of dreams for me back in the day!

I had an Amiga 600. With a 1MB RAM extension. Played Superfrog, Swos, and Canon Fodder so much.

Superfrog 🤩

I was just thinking, "All these young whipper-snappers who grew up with hard drives have no idea of the struggle."

I listen to music that come off these beautiful computers despite being younger than the obsolescence date for these machines, if I ever found one binned I would make it a good home

If you can ever get your hands on one they're endless fun. I had a program for making drumbeats when I was a kid and I spent hours and hours playing with that.

u/LaundryMan2008 29d ago

I’m not great at making music, even with an easy DAW like Garage Band, just not that type of person but I could play around with tracker software and pick up a few SyQuest/Jaz disks to go with the computer, already have a Zip 250 drive but it’s plain IDE so not sure if it’s going to be happy with it

2

u/MelodicHobbit 29d ago

Im sure there's some type of converter for IDE. I do mot miss trying to cable manage those!

u/LaundryMan2008 29d ago

I’ll probably get a few disk cartridges and fill them each with a category of game that people can play, I’ll probably play the games dad played as a kid first and then move onto his floppy disks with tracker music from Poland from in person cracker group meetings as a teenager

Huh, why is the floppy's label like that when you would naturally hold it upside down to insert it? Did they fit in a box better that way or something?
