Attending the Nordic Game Conference, maked me think of my love to my old Commodore64 and Amiga500, and all the nice music. Well it’s like, have you first tried play on the Amiga500, no computer game will ever be the same, lol (but I mean it actually - a little). :p
Games: Commando, Giana Sisters, Green Beret, International Karate, Kikstart II, Kung Fu Master, Terra Cresta, Way of the Exploding Fist

Unfortunately my Amiga is dead…. 18 years ago, lol! Would love to catch up with some people who also loved the Amiga-time, and maybe still have one?
I still know where all the cheat-places are in Great Giana Sister, haha *scary*
My first computer was a Commodore VIC 20 (20k memory!) bought on my Sears card. Skipped over the 64 to the 128, because I was not into gaming, but remeber the cartridges used for games and other apps for the 64. See Hello World 2.0 …
It’s almost impossible to believe that we had computers with only 20K memory! hehe.
Thanks for the link, it was nice reading your post and the story about the internet.
I love Discovery!!
Our first computer was a VIC 20, then I moved to a C64, later Amiga 500, 2000 and finally an Amiga 3000 before I made the leap to a PC running Linux…
I just posted on my blog the other day about how I’ve gotten addicted to C64 remixes. Nostalgia is part of it of course, but so much of that music is great in large part because of the limitations they had to write to.
I’ve got less of an emotional tie to the Amiga music than to the C64 music, partly I guess because I spent more time gaming when I had the C64, but also in part because the Amiga music got closer to more mainstream music since it was so much more flexible. I still miss my Amiga’s, though.
