  1. Continuing to explore more #Amiga software, I decided to try out the famous 'Boing!' workbench demo.

  2. Playing a little Parasol Stars on #Amiga today.

    Happy #AMayGA to those that celebrate. :amiga:

  3. Happy #aMAYga 😁 Introducing the newest addition to my vintage computer collection!

    I picked up this A500 today from a local seller (much more reasonably priced than eBay) who bought it new around 35 years ago. It comes with the mouse as well as a second disk drive and the famous 1084 monitor. I also got a box with a ton of floppy disks for it thrown in (not pictured). It's a little bit yellowed but otherwise seems to be in pretty good shape. Powers up to the insert disk screen and I was able to get a few floppies to boot as well.

    I'm super excited because unlike Macs and PCs of the era, I know next to nothing about Amigas, and this is only my second time actually using one. But I know they were great for gaming and multimedia/AV applications so getting one has been a bucket list item for some time - and I've heard that the A500 in particular has a lot of modern QoL upgrades available which I'm excited to check out.

  4. Wow. Second hand Amigas are more expensive than I expected... #MARCHintosh #aMAYga

  5. #MARCHintosh isn't even over, and the mention of #aMAYga is already tempting me to eBay...

  6. With #MARCHintosh drawing to a close, what old computer are we using for April? I assume we're all on Amigas for #aMAYga?

  7. Climate Change, a Marriage Proposal and the least useful game preview of all time. It's #AMayga and we join a magazine before its prime and a developer just reaching theirs. Plus a robotic insect named after a plant.

  8. Sarah Jane Avory, creator of #ZetaWing2 on the #C64, starts with thoughts of bringing the game to the Amiga platform.

    After some deliberation, she decides to make it unique to Amiga instead.

    "...and no, I won't be attempting to create any #Amiga music! I'd love to give it a go, but that's perhaps best left to others..."

    "#SuperZetaWing progress: been working on a bit of parallax scrolling for stage 1, so here's what I have.🙂"
