Amiga Online Emulator (oszx.co)
Hi There :) Thanks for visiting my site! I created this site because I have a lot of good memory's of the Amiga system. Growing up my Amiga was the first decent computer I owned and I had alot of fun learning its secerets and playing really great games such as alien breed, another world, flashback and so many more... I hope you get half as much enjoyment playing these games now that I got playing them "back in the day"...

Copyright and the Demo Scene (datagubbe.se)
Being eight years old and not speaking any English whatsoever meant that my early understanding of Amiga games was somewhat patchy. Nevertheless, some things will make an impression no matter what. Take German cracking group Unit A's 1988 cracktro for the flight simulator Interceptor, for example.

The Coolest Amiga Setup (datagubbe.se)
There are plenty of cool Amiga setups, past and present. A towerized Amiga 1200 with a Blizzard PPC accelerator? Sweet. A painted black Amiga 600 with a small TFT screen mounted on its case? Yes, please! An Amiga 500 with an old external hard drive and, inside, a Blizzard card with a 14 MHz 68000 CPU and two megs of fastmem? Stop, you're making me salivate!
