Entry 3rd September 2017: Post: 3


Covered in Amiga Goodness


I guess for me the joy of venturing into town and buying my
favourite Amiga magazine is something that I truly miss. For
when I got home and slotted in that little plastic disk I
really never knew what to expect. Sometimes a game that would
keep me up all night, or software that made for rewarding
activities. Maybe there would be nothing of great interest.
But there was always the anticipation of something new.

I seriously loved the Amiga magazines. Their colour, their
vibrant rich spreads of interesting, informative and
entertaining content. I always felt that the Amiga was trying
to capture my imagination, to offer me challenges and mostly
give me a whole heap of fun. There was so much promise in
all that was pervade through the pages of the magazines.
And the cover disks were the cherry on the top. The gift
from the Amiga to me as reward for falling in love with 
this wonderful computer.

It really was a very sad day when the last Amiga magazine
fell from the store shelves for with it was lost forever
that tiny plastic disk. It was the disk that provided the
artery between community and user and now we were cut
adrift. The Amiga was lost that day for me... So sad.

And so here are some of the disks I hold dear to my heart
and keep in a special box to the side of one of my most
treasured Amigas. Mementos  of a golden time and still 
capable of filling me with happy treasured moments. Nothing
but nothing can replace the time we shared together. For
now I have happy memories.

Happy days
