Also did anyone use that computer shop under Churchill square near the old crappy Tesco's? That had to be the oddest place to put a shop. Computer shop was quite good if i remember rightly?

Remember it well - itr was a time when computer shops weren't the place to be seen!

I remember the whole reason for getting an Amiga was to play John Madden American Football and the reason I upgraded from a 500+ to a 1200 was so that I could play Sim City 2000 on it.

AMSTRAD ??

Weirdo.


Yeah I know, I'm pretty sure my Dad bought an Atari or Amiga but [MENTION=232]Simster[/MENTION] or [MENTION=14747]redneb[/MENTION] didn't like it so he ended up trading it in for an AMSTRAD. It meant the difference between a GOOD childhood and a GREAT childhood.

Wasn't that hideously expensive? There was only so far my Christmas presents and pocket money could stretch.

Fail:jester:

I actually bought it on my Iphone when it was cheap. I was disappointed when I didn't have to change one of the 15 floppy discs every scene:down:

It was the swapping of disks that prevented me from completing Beneath A Steel Sky on my Amiga... so I bought it again on a nice CD-ROM for the PC a couple of years later :) and what a good game, with some fantastic smutty one-liners!

Amiga= Civilization nuff said

There was also a Dan Dare game I remember playing but I think that may have been on the Spectrum - anyone else remember it?

Oh and PGA Golf which was the best ever until I discovered Golden Tee Golf.
