It makes me think of how Commodore betted on PCMCIA cards with the A600 becoming a big thing and games and software would be distributed on them and would be more attractive than disks because of piracy concerns.

I think it was a few things including USB, yeah. Cheaper CD drives, cheaper external and internal modems, and the widespread adoption and minaturisation of flash memory.

My A600 was using a PC card for 2MB of 'slow' fast memory, but it's been replaced with internal now.

#Amiga PD and shareware games eh? Don't you just love 'em? If you don't, I have bad news for tonight. An entire stream full of them, live from my A600 - some weird and sometimes wonderful titles, but if you don't agree, please don't tune into twitch.tv/NAG_Graham from 8pm GMT. Thank you. And sorry.

Outrun running on a ZX Spectrum emulator on the A1200.

New game Freestyle - Tales of Itch being tried out on the A600.

Super Hexagon being played with a crowd of people watching around it.

Eye of the Beholder (I think) on a very white A500.

Some pics from Friday's #Norwich #Amiga Group meet at Albion Games Cafe. Plenty of fun was had including a lot of games of Super Hexagon (mostly lasting seconds). 21 people attended in total and here are a selection of pics...

A500 with clear case and Amiga Addict sticker on top. This has a purple A500++ board inside too.

L’Amiga 500 m’évoque des souvenirs de mercredi après-midi à jouer à moonstone, elite 2, syndicate, battle isle…. Une machine que je trouve super jolie, moins fan du design des A600 et A1200. J’en avais même un HS en déco sous la table basse en verre du salon…
