In case you don't know there's a new episode of the arcade and retro podcast.
http://arcadeandretro.com/arcade-and-retro-episode-22-the-mother-series/
Gavin, Sera and Stephen discuss the Mother series of games, known as Earthbound outside of Japan.
We also talk about Satoru Iwata, who died tragically recently, and how instrumental he was in the development of Mother 2 and the important roll he played in Nintendo and gaming in general.0 -

The sickness is setting in, I ordered the trio of Yoshi Amiibos last week and the first two arrived yesterday(green and pink). I like how they look in their little sealed boxes. So, the madness in me decided to order another green Yoshi and just open the green one that arrived.
That’s 4 Yoshi’s I’ll have!! Luckily I don’t find the standard ones that interesting, so unless they come out with another unusual one I’m pretty much done with my Amiibo collection
He is cute though, might even get the game that this is supposed to be used with

So apparently the Amiga is 30 years old today. Anyone else have fond memories playing it in their youth? Loved this machine, amazing graphics and sound and felt like a massive leap forward over the C64 and tape deck loading! (The C64 was awesome too ofc).

went from my MSX 2 to the Amiga and man was it next gen !!
I got involved with a demo group as well so I learned a lot on that machine. Loved it.
Still love it in fact, I got it plugged in and often boot up a game just to leave the music on while I'm doing sth else

Yeah the music always stood out for me. So many great examples but one I always remember is Turbo Lotus 2 (as I called it). Flying down the highway with this blasting out of the tv was brilliant!

An Amiga was the stuff of dreams for me, & was way outta my league in terms of price as a kid
It still holds a kind of grail place in my heart though, despite barely ever using one. I'd love to pick up a 1200 at some point, with the cf adapter/hdd etc installed. 0 -

You won't get much better than component or HDMI unless you get a proper CRT with a Scart RGB cable. I think your problem is your choice in games, MDK is a pretty terrible port of the much better PC game which still looks decent When it comes to PS1 it depends on the developer. I'm playing FF7 and boy does it not hold up but something like Megaman Legends or Vagrant Story still look great. 0 -

Ya on a bit of an Amiga buzz as well these days.
Haven't used my 500 is ages but since I picked up a 1200 from Alphaeagle last week I've been rediscovering my addiction Already bought a (fixer-upper) 600 on Ebay and considering some pricing accelerator cards for the 1200 !! 0 -

Stick some extra mem and an accelerator card in the 1200 and it’s a completely different beast. And an internal CF HDD is a must these days as it adds so much for very little money(CF card and a 10 euro adapter).
You might be better off buying from Amibay for the addons.0 -
