Lover of Retro Technology, I explore the world of old systems, events and retro video games. From reviews, modding guides to Dj mixes using old technology. One of the oldest Retro channels on youtube I have been focusing on technology since the days when nobody was talking about it.
Commodore Amiga is my main passion and the main content of this channel. Since I was a kid I cannot put the Amiga down and love seeing the recent resurgence. I am a writer for the now Commercial Amiga Magazine, Amiga Addict. Founder and co-host of The Retro Hour Podcast and Founding member of the Uk's Video Game heritage society.
This channel is all about being informed and educated in a chilled and non hype way. Hacking, modify and messing about with technology is so much fun and there is always something new and excited to discuss. Check out some of the Playlists of interviews and events around the world. I have filmed in Germany, Netherlands, America and the UK and aim to bring more!

How young on here Ravi? Lol
Finally!!! I’ve got this on cassette, 7” and 12” records. Thank you!!!
1988 to 1994. AAA That's basically the entire lifespan of developing a chip.. Usually you'd develop chips for a purpose, not for 20 years because you don't have a market for it yet.. Even Apple doesn't think that far ahead.. That's a long time only to see it failed. It probably may not have help Commodore out of bankruptcy, but if they didn't start the AAA chip then they may of had a better chance ??
Hombre wasn't PowerPC since it's Commodore's custom PA-RISC-based with 3D extensions and Hitachi PA-RISC CPU implementation. Hombre would be similar to Rendition Verite V1000 with MIPS CPU-based instruction set with 3D extensions.
I feel like people tend to look down on anything "old" @39:20. But the reality is that they have more soul and passion when compared in todays' souless and cold, shareholder ensh itification era.
Scala was years ahead of the competition. I was doing digital signage way back in in early 90s using scala infochannel on amiga computers(it could even do full motion video using MPEG cards and it could push updates to clients using 28k8 dial in modems) and I recently started looking at options that are available nowadays. As far as I can see nothing even comes closes to the simple yet very effective interface scale used to have.
Superb video! Is it still relevant for 2024? (Any thoughts on a version for this year?). The worst thing I ever did was throw out my towered Amiga to make some room in the attic 😥 I really regret being so stupid 😔 Liked and subbed 👍🏻
but is it relevent?
I’ve still got classic Amigas and no emulation can beat them however I do have an old Mac g5 which I’m tempted to install MorphOS on.
My friend's friend had an Amiga 1000. I absolutely loved it.
I don't know I would call them strange, but Debian and NetBSD both still release current OSes for original hardware. I beleive they require the MMU, and like Amix like more memory, but otherwise they work. NetBSD even has drivers for things like the ZZ9000 and other newish cards.
As a reminder, Chris Edward Pimiga distribution uses Scalos.
ITV Chart Show is where I first encountered this Gem.
70s Pop Music feverish dream meets 90s KLF and SNAP! lol
What in the name of all that is holy...?
Was there a sequel involving Worms content? Missed opportunity if not! 😂
Thank you so much for this!!! 🎉 1993 2Unlimited/The Shamen/KLF and now....Lemmings!!! Who is this guy?!!! Inspired!
dude enable adblock lol
Gold.
The sheer number of people who wanted to do her do at the time was truly staggering.
I seem to remember liking this back then...but to be fair, I was off my tits.
Hah hi from Australia Ravi, this was originally recorded off RAGE, a music program from the ABC (Australian version of BBC) that's been going since 1987. Funny how things get around.
This was unknown to me.
if i had this when i was a kid... i would have gone crazy !__!! this is awesome
Magic Pockets in the house !!!
I attempted to make a track with Lemmings samples back in the day, I wonder if I was subconsciously remembering this when I came up with the idea...
I had a go yesterday on the back of this being dredged up! 😆
Ooohh.. I had such a crush on Alison! And Richard Joseph's version was mint.
So... Didn't even realise this was a thing...😂
Well, if you had Woodpeckers from space in the 80's, it makes sense that you would have Lemmings in the 90's...🤔
Ravi, please don't be tempted to upscale and upload the Mr Blobby song as you seem to be on a roll with tunes from this era😂
Warum....
Magic 😄🕺🕺🕺
No 😂
...and I enjoyed her 1st Album too!
Escam sold Amiga in '95 without any improvement. They recycled Commodore A1200 and A4000, when they would have MUST make a new machine with few improvements as new Akiko, new Paula, new kickstart, better Zorro 3 and/or PCI bus. They didn't because they just wanted to exploit those Amiga fun boys... they financed the cult of Amiga. They were companies making expansion cards while Petro couldn't supply a single mouse with 3 buttoms and a wheel. Phase 5, Village Tronic etc took the right path but they lack of new Amiga custom chip: a new Akiko for the chunky video mode could have offered better OS and 3d games experiens, then a new Paula with double channels 16 bit 44.1 Khz was mandatory as already a standard. In 1995 Amiga was multitasking while competitors weren't, they have to compete on the audio sector just adding midi ports and allow new kickstart for bigger partition support. Many TV companies instisted to use A1200 with genlock until the digital broadcast era. There was room to compete more but new amiga models were necessary for a wide challenge. Still modern audio and video software support .aiff or .iff. Petro&company was the worst management in history!
Escom was stacked with ex-Commodore Germany personnel and they are mostly PC box shippers.
The Germans don't know how to build a cost-effective Raspberry Pi in mass production. The credit goes to the UK's ARM and Raspberry Pi, JP's Sony UK, US Broadcom and Taiwan's TSMC.
Love to hear some of Kanye's old mods... 😁
Man i love your mixes! Do you have an archive of tracks you are using up online or even a torrent? Would love to play these mod file tunes on my A1200!
Wait a sec.. Escom wins even though they did not put in the highest bid ? Today, one would call that "rigged'
power up and warup split was also a bullshit
I would love to find a great deal on an A1200 but the prices are just too crazy. I'm better off with a Mister.
3:04 these websites are awesome - its amazing how much excitement there is in the modern day for the Amiga. I wish other platforms had the same support - you would expect Apple to be just as sophisticated and well supported but seems not?
Where are the lemmings on you banner? A severe loss for humanity! 😉 [Edit] Oh, I see him now that your banner has gone! Stop with all this self promotion and embrace the simple elegance of a strutting suicidal mammal!
haha this was taken from an external stream so they overlayed the graphics. The lemming will be free to march next set lol
When is it for sale?
Amazing documentary,thanks.
I know this is old but is there a way in discord to send messages to IRC without needing to mention the @bot ? All IRC messages are passing to discord with no issues.
Does this still work in 2024?
Can any Amiga surf the modern internet like a PC or a MAC?
It was shit i was so glad to get a pc
Recommended by KZread in 2024. I am amazed Commodore made miggy were available in 2013. That doesn't seem all that long ago.
Buying Commodore Amiga through Gateway is true example that how US powers don't want to see the success of Commodore Giant + European IT industry and they don't want to see Europe bigger & richer than US Because Commodore beat all competitors in 1980s 1990s soon they will take over the all US Home computers and Business Computers markets + All World like Europe and if Commodore not bankrupt then they will also make smart phones soon they will be 10000X more richer than Apple or Intel AMD or Microsoft etc and they all competitors not stand front of Commodore and will soon die. but sadly the big powers who still rule the world don't want to see this....! 😩
Commodore Germany was the caused of A300's project to expand into A600.
