Join myself and Octav1us on a retro road trip, as we go and retrieve a mysteriously labelled "Amiga Console", from the middle of the United Kingdom, after winning an online auction. We have no idea what this so called "console" is, or what accessories it is supplied with. This is our quest, it is also our punishment. We also find a few unique goodies on the way, including some information about a game called, Black Dawn 7.

@Nostalgia Nerd - BD 7 was released as licenceware back in the 90s. Black Dawn rebirth is an entirely new game Ive been coding (after a 20 year lull!) fro the past 6 months or so. But thanks for showing some footage of it!

Ever thought of having it ported to the Atari Jaguar? The folks at AtariAge ported "Defender of the Crown" - and many other titles - to the Jag and there's a Mouse Adapter for use with it... 64 colo(u)rs onscreen wouldn't be an issue, the bog standard 68000 is faster, the standard RAM is 2MB, and thanks to Cyrano Jones' efforts, the JagDSP can totally play back Amiga PAULA audio [as well as Atari TIA, Atari POKEY, SID, YM2149 and YM2151]...

I wonder if the previous owner passed away. What you said at the end about our lives being stored on those machines is especially poniente, I have a few computers that my older brother used to program on, he saved stuff to tapes and later disks and became ill before having any sort of online presence and sadly passed away. One day I'll go through and spend some time with his former "digital" self. I also have a few games and programs on various comptuers representing my former digital lives. The other day an old school friend sent me some photos on Facebook of old "continuous" print out paper with BASIC listings that he accused me of having written some twenty five years ago. I had no memory of writing any of it, on closer inspection I realised it he had actually written it on his NC-100 notebook and had assumed it was some dodgy game I'd written about kissing people, when in fact it was his own work :)

I was so sad when I threw most of my stuff away in 98' when I had to move. All the Amiga Magazines in sequential order , I gave the computers and boxes of disks well to some kids I knew, and they were pretty stocked. There are literally thousands of hours put on that lot and money im glad it survived. Miss the awesome cover art and manuals games had in those days.

Haha, I remember playing that Shuttle game, after finding it lurking on the HDD of a rotten old PS/2 in the Careers Room (!) at school. You can get launched and into orbit just by spamming random keys on the keyboard, but I don't think I got any further than that (eg releasing or recovering a satellite / docking with a space station, successfully re-entering and landing) because that's where it got more complicated. Nice to look at even in 16-colour low rez at least.

"(swinging a fork) I'm gonna take it apart properly." - Nostalgia Nerd, 2019 Also, the "console" debacle may be because some youngin found his old man's Amiga in storage and assumed this to be a console, since it looks nothing like a PC so it can't be a computer. Or maybe not, who knows... Either way, good find. Assuming any of that still works, that is.

@markpenrice6253 5 жыл бұрын

Although it's a bit of an annoying and confusing nomenclature, it wasn't unknown for manufacturers at least (not so much owners, but there were still a few) to call the working part of a computer the "console" (including the base unit of a multi-user system, differentiating it from the remote "terminals"), particularly where it was an all-in-one, built-in-a-keyboard type design. That is, the part into which everything else connects and you supply primary power to. With things like the NES being a "games console", into which you plug everything else including the game cartridge. And of course there's several keyboard (and even beigebox) where you can do THAT as well. It's very blurry. Plus if almost everything that comes with it seems to be a game, with no identifiable operating system or serious software (other than one word processor, which may well have been confused for a point and click adventure at a casual glance), what are you gonna think? It's some strange console that happens to have a keyboard built into it for some reason...
