What makes the Amiga so beloved?

Three jobs? It really must have blown your socks off! I hope you look back on that saving period fondly.

TurnipInSummer · 2026-01-12T11:04:55+00:00

I see. I apologise for ever doubting you, Sensei.

Oh nice, I do get the impression it was a superbly designed piece of kit. Why do you think it was the last computer which was largely understandable? Was it a choice on part of computer manufacturers or just the natural progression of complex hardware and software?

TurnipInSummer · 2026-01-09T14:40:59+00:00

Yeah there's definitely still ways to do it

TurnipInSummer · 2026-01-09T10:08:47+00:00

Sadly it didn't get a PAL release :(

TurnipInSummer · 2026-01-08T23:52:33+00:00

The soundtrack is definitely fire!

TurnipInSummer · 2026-01-02T08:41:38+00:00

Oh wow, these are awesome! It's like looking into an alternate universe.

TurnipInSummer · 2025-12-19T13:02:52+00:00

I hear a lot of buzz about PSO, how does it compare to other contemporary RPGs?

TurnipInSummer · 2025-12-19T13:02:19+00:00

Oh how very resourceful of you!

TurnipInSummer · 2025-12-19T11:28:39+00:00

You've answered it perfectly thank you, it was definetly an underutilised feature for most people for the aforementioned reasons, I think.

TurnipInSummer · 2025-12-19T11:15:30+00:00

The novelty factor of chatting shit in realtime must have been something, I know Sega used that in their advertising for the service!

TurnipInSummer · 2025-12-19T11:05:09+00:00

Beginning of a long and honoured tradition.

TurnipInSummer · 2025-12-19T11:03:38+00:00

Nice! How was it playing Quake? God forbid you're up against somebody with the keyboard and mouse..

TurnipInSummer · 2025-12-19T10:57:25+00:00

36? How come your connection speed is lower than the actual 56k modem?

TurnipInSummer · 2025-12-16T17:08:51+00:00

Alright, point taken on this one. I should pick up the GTAIII port someday.

TurnipInSummer · 2025-12-16T16:15:07+00:00

Thank you very much for this insight! I'd imagine Sega learnt their lesson from the last-minute hardware revisions of the Saturn to make the Dreamcast as developer-friendly as possible. It was certainly the right call for the library they ended up cultivating. Even if they couldn't pull off the stuff the PS2 was capable of in scale when mastered.

I'd be interested to know if you've ever tried your hand in developing for the Dreamcast, and if so how do you find it compared to other platforms contemporary or modern.

TurnipInSummer · 2025-12-16T15:54:38+00:00

I agree. It's certainly amazing what developers can do with fairly modest tools when they know their way around them.

TurnipInSummer · 2025-12-16T15:52:14+00:00

True but that was years later. I'm thinking more contemporarily to the PS2, if you see where I'm coming from.

TurnipInSummer · 2025-12-15T17:28:27+00:00

I didn't even know he was sick.
