  My step-father had an amiga 500 when he met my mother. He’s super nostalgic for it! I’ve had 2 mini copies per-ordered (one for myself) via Amazon since it was announced. I’m excited to surprise my step-father with it

  I was an Amiga kid, that computer shaped my life. I even learned how to do digital art on it via Deluxe Paint, and now I'm a graphic designer. This is a must buy for me, and glad to see it comes with Super Cars II, the greatest Amiga game ever imo.

  At a convention recently, a YouTuber that I will not name charged me 50 bucks for roughly twenty seconds of his time, wouldn’t even talk to you without you swiping your card first. When I met Metal Jesus at a convention just a few months earlier , he took the time to talk to me and even took a picture with me. Never asked for a dime. He even held a Q&amp;A and stopped after to talk and take pictures with any who asked. <br><br>I realize this is completely unrelated to this video, just wanted to say I appreciate this dude and he deserves no disrespect! He’s a real one that hasn’t lost touch with reality! <br><br>All hail the Metal Jesus!

  I got an A500 back in 1989 - saved up for ages delivering newspapers. It was a big upgrade from my spectrum 48k!

  When i was a kid everyday in the playground here in the uk, you&apos;d see kids swapping stacks of amiga discs held together with elastic bands.

  Hearing you play Chaos engine was so nostalgic, my dad is not well and I remember playing split screen with him on the Amiga 500. Superfrog with my mum. Don&apos;t you wish you could turn back time and re do your life sometimes.

  I had an Amiga 500 ,bought in 1988. I had a friend who had one too so I have played a lot of Amiga games. I actually traded it in 1992 to my brother who used it to teach himself &nbsp;graphic design.He ended up working for Sierra in California outside of Fresno in the late 90s.

  Had one in 1990, in the UK this was huge, we all had x-copy and a box full of blank floppy disk! Great video as always!

  Amiga is seriously the most underrated console / gaming computer of all time. It&apos;s hard to overstate how ahead of its time it was

  Awesome seeing that Eye of the Beholder II footage at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob-8G2c1VGo&amp;t=510">8:30</a>! So few people know about that series, but it&apos;s definitely a great addition to any retro CRPG library.

  The Amiga 500 WAS my childhood, and probably my all time favourite computers/consoles. It was just amazing and, as you said, blew away the competition. I love it, it&apos;s fantastic, and I would spend forever on this if I could afford it. 😢
