#amiga1200

1 post1 participant0 posts today
It has been so long since I last played my Amiga.


This is the greatest line of computers ever made.


First up on the gaming menu this evening is Turbo Tomato by @nivrig! This is one that I shamefully haven't played before but I decided to give it a go after experiencing the brilliance of Rogue Declan Zero.


This game is frantic vegetable blasting action with wonderfully colourful visuals.

Sono quelle cose che non sai di avere...classico dei vecchi collezionisti come me.... Ho aperto una vecchia #amiga #Amiga1200 (per un recap) comperata tipo 15 anni fa per 50 euro e poi messa via e ci trovo dentro la sorpresa.... Una #viper T1230 con Motorola 68ec030, coprocessore matematico 8 MB di fast RAM e controller fast scsi opzionale... E improvvisamente la giornata (iniziata de merda) ti sorride ....#retrogaming #retrocomputing #commodore

The New A1200NG Motherboard Available for Pre-Order from the AmigaKit Webshop

Good morning,

Thanks for popping by. 🙂 Today I’ve got some Amiga news I want to share.

Whilst browsing various Amiga forums this morning, I stumbled upon a post by amigang on the Amigaworld.net. He had noticed that AmigaKit had just uploaded a new product to their store, namely the A1200NG motherboard!

Recently, I’ve seen AmigaKit putting out small teases about this product. I quickly visited their webstore to check it out. Here is the link:

Anyone of you interested in this one?

Personally, I already own the A600GS and I’m enjoying it a lot these days, but it would be fun to build this into an A1200 case for sure.

That was all for now. Thanks for reading! See you in another post here on the Old School Game Blog. 🙂

It seems I made it onto Hackaday yesterday with one of my old blog articles from 2020.

The one in question was where I used a Raspberry PI 0W as a WiFi enabled USB drive connected to a GoTek to provide disk images to a BBC Master 128.

NB: this technique works for anything a GoTek can connect to - so I've used it on a BBC Micro, Amiga A1200 and Spectrum +3
