Wait, come back...
I bet you didn't expect to see that logo here? lol. Well, I have decided to create a light-hearted Amiga presentation to celebrate a great 16-bit computer. No, I'm not trying to be sarcastic! So, why the sudden burst of Amiga appreciation? Well, ever since I posted about STDOOM and DOOM8088ST, I have received a flood of childish and downright nasty comments on both this site and my YouTube channel. Rather than rise to their bait and retaliate, I figured I would record a silly yet respectful video to say thanks for the fantastic banter over the years, not to mention the zillions of Tracker tunes (as a chiptune guy, I hated typing that).
I've hunted down some cool Amiga-themed demos, images, and music. Nothing bitter, just a playful tribute with a few cheeky extras thrown in for a laugh. Surprisingly, there’s actually a fair bit of Amiga-themed content for the ST/STe, which is kinda cool. So I picked out a few that I liked, but Demozoo has loads more.
The productions I’ve picked are shown briefly in my video, so I’ve included all the links below to enjoy each one properly. I loved the AN Cool demo - just wish it was longer, especially as a ZZ Top fan! Commando is actually a VT-52 text file, and I recorded it in full, as it scrolls a bit too fast, so it’s probably easier to watch on YouTube. If, like me, an animated text file fascinates you, check out Josh Renaud's excellent website.
Okay, as for the minority of keyboard warriors, leaving nasty comments - seriously, why are you here? I mean, we don’t spend our time lurking on Amiga websites just to troll. We're too busy enjoying our ST to be looking over our shoulders. To the rest, the normies, let the banter continue for many more decades!!
Regardless of your allegiance, I hope that you enjoy watching my video recording. STay Atari :x

ReplyDeleteHey thanks for checking out the site!! And thanks, the 16-bit generation was/is awesome imho (well, ignoring the few idiots out there!)
DeleteOh the irony. Love it though!
ReplyDeleteYou wouldn’t believe how many “comments” I had to moderate...
DeleteI am going to be honest. I do own 3 Atari St(e)s and 3 Amigas. The amigas came later in my life. You have to know your enemy, as it is. One day my doctor said to me .. "There is something strange about you now" He identified it as Amigatosis on my skin. He could spot it immediately, as he should. So now i get floppy treatments every other week. He said Blitter chipping might be the next for me.
DeleteBeST comment by you in years!!!!!!! 🤣
