Commodore Amiga 600+1200 20 years old in March

[Smithk4]

The Commodore Amiga 600 was my fist big game console and I was surprised to see that this console is turning the big 20 next month. I was just wondering if anybody else out these also had the commodore, any series 500, 600 or 1200.

I would also be interested to hear what you thought about it and see what your favorite games were.

Mine included the following (not in order of preference):

Indiana Jones and the last crusade
The secret of Monkey Island 1 + 2
Flashback
Another world
Sensible soccer
Globdule
Shadow of the beast
Batman the movie
Alien Breed
Bubble bobble
Desert Strike

Commodore founder and former Atari owner Jack Tramiel passes away



Computer and video game industry pioneer Jack Tramiel died today at the age of 83, his family reported. Tramiel, a Holocaust survivor, is best known for two achievements in the industry: the founding of Commodore International and the 1984 purchase of Atari Inc.'s post-crash consumer division from Warner.

Tramiel helped (re)revive Atari by starting a computer business there, launching the Atari ST and other desktop computers alongside new video game hardware like the Atari 7800 and Lynx.

Martin Goldberg -- a writer working on a book about the Atari brand and the early days of video games and computing with Atari Museum founder Curt Vendel -- had this to say: "Jack Tramiel was an immense influence in the consumer electronics and computing industries. A name once uttered in the same vein as Steve Jobs is today, his journey from concentration camp survivor to captain of industry is the stuff of legends." Tramiel leaves behind his wife, three sons and their extended families.
