Amiga or Atari ST?

[Virgo's Haircut]

Which of these two did you have when you were younger?

I remember when I was at school, you were a fan of one of them, and used to big your computer up at every opportunity.

I personally had an ST, and have still got it!

 

[Marc]

Amiga all the way, loads more games (supposedly), I had hundreds!

 

[Scarface]

ST myself. Came with plenty of games so didnt need to buy many more.

 

[Bigtomfu]

aniga 500, with the extra RAM added- what a difference that half a meg of memory made! premier manager and the very first championship manager.

 

[Virgo's Haircut]

Oh yes I remember the first Champ Man game on the ST. I think it was around the time when Kurt Nogan was playing for us.

Does anyone remember Defender of the Crown? A fookin' great game!

I was an Amiga-boy, as were all my mates. It pissed all over the ST from a great height. The sound on it was fookin amazing at the time, and the games were far superior. We used to point and laugh at ST owners in the playground.

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

Amiga all the way.

 

[Bozza]

I actually had both - can't remember which I got first though.

Kick-off on the Amiga was just the best.

Amiga v ST was just what you needed when you progressed from your Spectrum or Commodore 64...

Definitely Amiga. Sensible Soccer ruled.

16K Spectrum, later upgraded to a 48K. The rubber keys were cack, but I loved 'em. Amigas and ST's were way to fandangled for me

 

[Cian]

Miggy, although I went x86 pretty early as the Amiga went more and more German...

I had am Amiga. An intresting story is that Atari was offered the oppurtunity to buy Amiga but at the time said no holding out for a better deal.

By the time Atari knew what was going on and had agreed to the orignal deal Commodore had said yes and Commodore Amiga was born.

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

does anyone remember Superfrog on the Amiga?? it was great!!!!

 

[Bluejuice]

Er hello...

Rainbow Island

Best game. Ever. End of.


The Amiga 500 was the choice of the discerning playground nerd. I of course was in the Amiga club and I miss the old thing now. I have a couple of emulators on my PC but can't for the life of me find a kickstart ROM.

Maybe I should just check eBay for an old Amiga...
