As I've only signed-up last night, I thought the first place I should post was here.
I've been an Amiga user since 1990, but moved over to the PC in 1998. So began many years of home computing, which I have to say, I really didn't enjoy. (The enjoyment did return back in 2005 when I moved over to Macs)
Back in 2002 I dug my Amiga out, and put my 1200 motherboard, 68030@50mhz into a Power Tower, but upon encountering various issues installing a stable OS3.0 or 3.9 I packed the machine up again.
Earlier this year I decided to dig the Amiga out and give it another go. The guys/gals over on the English Amiga Board were a real help. It turned out the my OS issues were down to the boot partition being over 2 gig in size, and everything getting corrupted. Since then the Amiga's been used almost every day, and has been expanded a bit with a network card, so transferring stuff from Mac to Amiga and vice versa is easy (and fast).
Anyway...
Since getting my first computer back in 1982 (a ZX Spectrum) I've always fancied coding a game, but for one reason or another I've never got very far.
Seeing the Spectrum scene with such a busy homebrew gaming scene has given me the kick I need to have another go at trying to write something for the Amiga. After all, why should the Speccy have all the support? So, I've got AMOS Pro V2 (and compiler installed), the PDF of the manual downloaded, and am set to go.
I'm not sure how much progress I'll make, but I'm sure I'll have fun no matter how far I get.
