My upgrade from the Commodore 64, it was great

Had a couple of games, but really scored when a family friend was getting rid of theirs, so we inherited their model (which had extra ram) and all of their games .

It is where i first played the Test Drive series (i later played the pc versions, and much preferred them on the Amiga - better graphics and sound!), Leisure Suit Larry, Police Quest etc.

There are Amiga 500 emulators.

i swapped from atari st to the amiga - eventually having a CD32 with all the atachments that turned into a a1200

lost a lot of my life playing stuntcar racer (needs a remake) , barbarian , starglider 2 ,speedball, superfrog and many others. Also loved the demo groups work (spaceballs)

i shouldnt have given it all away.

Check out WinUAE for an emulator.

But maybe even better, try to find Amiga Forever

Loved Stunt Car Racer. Good memories playing the rollercoaster and high jump tracks.

It's amazing how many of the developers from C64 and Amiga days are still around today. You reminded talking about Populous, but I never realized until a week or two back that Populous was created by Peter Molyneux (who went on to make Fable and Black & White).

He also made Theme Park/Theme Hospital/Syndicate/Magic Carpet. Once upon a time he just made great games instead of pretending that he does.

+1, what was I thinking!??

Stunt Car Racer, Populous I & II, It Came From the Desert, Alien Breed, Syndicate, Myth, Lotus Turbo Challenge (first racing game for home computer featuring 2 player split-screen IIRC??), Jaguar XJ220, Wing Commander, Wings, Altered Beast, Sensible Soccer, Monkey Island, Batman, Awesome, Pinball Dreams, Adams Family.

Really was the best games machine in the world for a few years.
