A video tribute to Battle Squadron and kudos to Cope-Com for porting the newly revamped version onto AmigaOS 4.1


Quick vid of a first level play through first on my Amiga 1000 (AmigaOS 1.3) with the original Battle Squadron and then again the first level with the special edition release in late 2013 on my AmigaOne X1000 (Amiga OS 4.1 Update 6).

music is recorded directly from my 1080 speaker via my cel phone so pardon the 2 phone rings near the end of the song :-)


Enjoy

Getting stuff finally off the floor & on the wall !


Got around to putting up some frames on the wall finally this past weekend.  Frame on the left I got from one of the original Amiga dealers store in Toronto, Ontario, Canada called Comspec back in the early nineties and the smaller frame to the right I got right before I ordered my new AmigaONE X1000 a few years ago (love the X-Files theme LOL)

Hoping to find some spare time to blog on some nifty little projects such as a Viper 040 to 060 upgrade for my A1200 and dual SID (both 6581 and 8580!) chips in my C64

Man Cave Ramblings

So today, after starting one more of my retro computing projects while at the same time completing another one I took a deep breath and wondered why my newly built home office/ partial man cave is always in a constant state of chaos...well let's just say a tiny few degrees off equilibrium :-)

here's a quick panoroamic pic of my man cave/home office corner where most of my spare time is spent when not working in the other half to pay the bills, keep the Mrs happy & constantly entertaining my 8 year daughter and 5 year old son :-)

My Man Cave corner just newly constructed in my home office--Where nostalgia & modern computing brings: fun, happiness, cursing, sweating, and generally chaos

So can you see some retro goodness from your computing past and also some modern goodness as well ??? If so, welcome to my Ramblings......
