Amiga 500 - Game Collection (Part 2) Come relive some 80s and early 90s Game Heaven




This is what's left of my Amiga 500 collection (original collection from my late childhood, early adulthood). I had sold a lot of my Amstrad games in the late 80s to raise cash for an Atari ST. By the time I had the money to buy, that I wanted an Amiga instead.

The Amiga 500 were great gaming days. There's a lot of games I have that are not in this video. Some faves like It Came From The Desert, or Syndicate are Pirates of the Caribbean ;D

A good 95% of the games I had were legit though... All these games are still in mint condtion, boxed with full instructions and boy did they give instructions back then haha... HUGE thick books:P (and anti piracy stuff like the crazy Robocop 3 chip.. Oh and the game was better than that movie ;D)

I loved point and click adventures, so I had a lot of those.

This cost me £399 (I paid for this myself as I had a job at the time, it was one of the first thing I got myself. And as I said, I sold a lot of Amstrad games)
It has the extra 512k expansion and an extra disc drive (12 discs on some games like Monkey Island 2:P) making it up to 1 meg *you had to have 1 meg for a lot of games like WINGS*

Amazing system and worth every penny. It's gave me, my family and friends many years of enjoyment and has been brought out of storage to do this video. I had gave my sister it and all the games years ago. But once she started her family, she gave me it back and I just put it in a box for over a decade.. As you can see! Like my Amstrad CPC 464 in part 1 of this series of videos, this still works.

Hope you enjoyed sharing in the nostalgia with me.

See you soon with more games and systems.
