But now that I have one I can do a lot with it... if I can ever find a spot to put it or time to use it... *sigh* one day.

That's the issue of our day and age, isn't it? Overkill of options.

So the system wants me to make a post and I wanted it be somewhat relevant so I wanted to state that about two years ago I bought a used Amiga 500 and replaced the drive in it with a USB interface and ever since then I've never had a chance to use it. I think it's mostly because I didn't know what an Amiga really was until I found an Amiga 1000 (sans Keyboard and Mouse) in a thrift shop and bought it. But now I wish I had had an Amiga when I was a kid instead of an old PC if only because there was so MUCH to the machine.

But now that I have one I can do a lot with it... if I can ever find a spot to put it or time to use it... *sigh* one day. But at least now I have a ton of reasons to do so with all the great Amiga games listed here! Thank you!
