I'm playing a game now and then.
I'm mostly interested in software/games 1985-1989. Strategy, adventure and rpg games were/are my favorites. I'd like to use it for coding. Good old 68000 coding with DevPac3 or ArgASM.

But nothing beats the moment I first saw an A1000 running Deluxe Paint, Sonix and the first animations showing off the Amiga. I think that must have been sometime in the winter of 1985/1986. 2 of my friends bought their Amigas at about that same time. I didn't have the money until may 1987 and got an Amiga 500. The A1000 I got my hands on MUCH later.
