I've always liked the A600. It's like the unloved step-child of the Amiga family - well, that and the CDTV... I bought one as my college computer (although I was looking for an A1200, but CBM had gone bust by this point and there were none to be found on the shelves). Thanks to it, I was able to keep abreast of my college work and keep myself entertained with the Zeewolf, Cannon Fodder, Desert Strike and the like. And you've never played Indiana Jones & the Fate of Atlantis properly until you've graduated from the hell of swapping floppies to the sheer, unadulterated joy of having a hard drive.
ReplyDeleteYou could always slap a CF card in a PCMCIA adapter and use that as the hard-drive. Should be pretty speedy that way. I'll have to try that with my A600 some time.
Ah, yes, thanks for reminding me what a torture it was trying to play adventures with a single floppy drive... A HD was such a huge step forward...
ReplyDeleteAlso, thanks for bringing up the biggest asset of the A600 -besides its size and look, that is- the PCMCIA slot.
Yeah, and don't forget to increase your ram, since the standard 1meg won't let you run games directly from HD!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, indeed, a wise and handy remark that dear Mik. Thanks!
