Really annoys me things like that. I have a little Lan network of XP and Win 7 machines to play games and Steam stops us playing some games that would otherwise work - like Left4Dead.

Remember buying this when it came out. I think it was probably the game on the Jag that most blew me away with it's graphics at the time - it was beautiful. Fortunately I still have my Jag and all the games 🙂

Bought a Retrofighters Defender pad a couple of months ago and while the pad worked with my PC the receiver for the PS2 wouldn't work. I reported it to RetroFighters and they said they'd send me a new adapter - but kindly (thank you!) they sent me a whole new pad! 😍

My wife's out today so I should get time to play on it before she gets back and installs all the Two Point games on it and I never see it again 🤣

The closest I've bought a console to release since the Atari Jaguar, back in the day. Hopefully this one does better 🤣

It's 27 in mine and I thought that was bad enough!

I think perhaps it was a little over ambitious, like Club Drive. Would have loved an F1GP port instead.

No love from me 😂 My favourite Jag racers are Super Burnout and Power Drive Rally, both of those are good. Checkered Flag was pretty poor unfortunately.

I'm a member of that FB group, must have missed that drama 😂 It's the group's loss losing someone like you, some of the admins speak nonsense on there and get away with it unfortunately.

The new games both look great and the PPC thing is interesting - look forward to more news on that 🙂

Loved this game. Used to play it on my dad's work laptop which has one of those green tinted screens. He only had a couple of games and this was one of them 🙂

I used to enjoy going to Sounds Familiar in Romford, would get the train there. Slipped Discs in Chelmsford was good too and my local one.

Yeah, not sure I've ever played a snooker or pool game on a console. Always a mouse on the Amiga and PC ones 🙂

Used to love this game. Graphics were great and the soundtrack was really relaxing.

I should probably do this to my Amiga 2000 keyboard at some point. It's getting rather yellow.

Don't have a gun for my CD-i but have the Wii version and also have it on my arcade cabinet. Is the CDI port good?

Played this to death on my A1200. It was the main reason I got a harddrive for it!

You can get an adapter and use a Bluetooth controller. That's what I have. Cheaper than the crazy prices for those original pads.

Yeah, the Amiga porta were massively disappointing. Mortal Kombat is a decent port though.

Yeah, Sega did the right thing. Shame on the Amiga they didn't introduce a 4 or 6 button pad until the CD32. Sticking with 1-2 buttons was rubbish when SF2 etc arrived.

Think I prefer the 6 button version. That's a lovely pad. I was more a fan of the Snes pad than the 3 button megadrive one.

Yeah, it's good - though you need a pretty powerful Amiga. Reminds me a bit of Andretti Racing. There are lots of FPS ports from PC to Amiga (which I'd rather just play on PC) but nice to see something different.

What a nice port this is! Speed Haste on the Amiga. I've not played the PC original, but it's a great little arcade racer. Perfect for the first day of the F1 calendar! #Amiga

Yeah, I think it's got better games (as long as you have a region mod), much better controller and much better light guns.

That was meant to say box art 😂 though it is also big, I suppose.

Little bit of Roguecraft by @badgerpunch.com tonight - great game and finally now have it installed on my A1200 too. Nice to play it on the big TV. #amiga

Look at that central midfield, solid 😂 We were a better team a couple of years later when we won the league cup, Nielsen was the hero then 🙂

Here it is - the first in-development footage of the much-requested #Amiga OCS/ECS conversion of my #AtariSTE game FASTER. Weird/unexpected chipset behaviours and optimisation challenges are slowing things down somewhat, so no plans to talk about a release date just yet!

I own 5 of those 6, I don't own the FM Towns. My fav would be the 3DO, it feels a cut above the other consoles at the time.

Thinking of getting one of these, has anyone else got or tried one? retrolemon.co.uk/amiga-upgrad... Interested to know if it will fit with the RGB2HDMI in there too.

You could upgrade that with a pistorm and also use an RGB2HDMI, then you'll have everything on HDMI.

You can get the pistorm for the 600 & 500 too I think, if you fancied something different.

Do you already own an A1200 to use?

Retropudders @retropudders.bsky.social · 01/03/2025
Makes sense. I don't own one myself, as I tend to go for classic style upgrades, but I believe the WiFi works on it and RTG comes out the HDMI - but I think games still will come out the normal RGB port. Though I think they were working on that, so it may be fixed or close to.

Depends what games you want to play. Most the games that use the pistorm's power are just old PC game ports, so if you have an old PC then you can play them on that (and they run better). But for normal Amiga games you don't need a pistorm and your 4000 will run them.

I have one. Can't say it's my most used computer, but I enjoy playing on it when I get the chance.

Was chatting to a work colleague today about our fav Civ game - he went for VI. I think I'd pick either IV or the original. Tough call though, dread to think how many hours I've spent playing that series!
