Playing games on the Amiga 500
Ойындар
Playing one last time on my old Amiga 500 home computer, before I pass it on to its new owner. I'm surprised that the old computer is still working after so many years on the attic :) Unfortunately, not all diskettes are still readable :(
(Excuse the green monitor, my 1084 color monitor died years ago)
Games I try in this video.
Pinball fantasies
Lotus turbo challenge II
S.W.I.V.
Formula 1 Grand Prix
Mortal Kombat II
Sensible Soccer
9 fingers space ball demo

Playing games on the amiga later became a repeat of clever tricks to display amazing eye candy. That's how the software companies grifted us punters back in the 1990s. But these days I can see newbies rightfully enjoying the machine
From the golden age of computing 😁
Thanks for sharing these old games with us, my generation ought to know more about the humble origins of gaming.
Sensible Soccer was a class Amiga game. I gave away my Amiga 500 and games back in the 90's.
"Skid Row"! Interesting...
It's crazy how Digital Illusions (Pinball Dreams) would become DICE (Battlefield series).
Amiga!!!! memories
I still have my Amiga from my child hood, somehow most of ly disks have gone walk about since moving. :(
What kind of video connector did Amigas have? It wasn’t SVGA?

It depends on the model and where it was sold. Some have a proprietary monitor port which is likely what is being used here but there are big, chunky external RF modulators for TVs. I can't remember if any Amigas had built in modulators like the Atari ST did. SVGA is an IBM PC standard that became more and more common in the late 80s. Amiga was made by Commodore and the first model was released in 85/6. These days you can get converters and such for HDMI etc. Back in the day there were ones for SCART but if you're not European you won't know what that is.

@@MagikGimp Mentioning external RF modulators reminds me of the Atari 400/800. If someone still had a modulator, he/she could try hooking it up to a modern LED screen, but the resolution will probably be limited to 200 scan lines or something.

@@MagikGimp "I can't remember if any Amigas had built in modulators like the Atari ST did." The original Amiga 1000 from '85 had built in composite port but A500, A500+ and A2000 did not, they came with external RF Modulators in the box. Original Atari ST from '85 did not have built in modulator, you had to buy a monitor for original ST. Wasn't until the STm and STfm were released before the Atari ST had built in composite (modulator). A3000, A4000, A600 and A1200 all had built in composite port as well as the CD32. CD32 also had S-Video. All Amiga models (except CD32) had 23pin RGB port.
I see no original games from that times 😅 Everything was copied in that time. Not so much money used, as empty floppy discs was not expensive. Sad with only green pictures.
lots of old pirated games there.

That was pretty much par for the times! Everyone I knew had 4 or 5 original games and hundreds of copied ones!
