@blakespot I was using a 6-disc changer with my Amiga 3000 for a while... on every boot, the system paused while the changer swapped in every disc to read the TOC... it got so annoying that I eventually mothballed it and bought a "normal" drive to replace it. At no point did I find it particularly useful to have 6 CD's worth of data available at any given time.

@maddiefuzz Ooh, I got a couple recommendations you won't see mentioned often:

Traffic Department 2192 - It's a top-down 360 degree shooter with a really cool storyline and fantastic characters.

Dark Heart of Uukrul - Mostly a Wizardry style first-person dungeon crawler, but with Ultima style battles and some neat puzzles along the way.

God of Thunder - Action adventure game clearly inspired by Legend of Zelda with a norse theme and some weird humour.

@lichendust No? Okay, we'll ask again later :)
@catsalad @cR0w I said consummate V's! *Consummate*! Geez... AI wouldn't know majesty if it came up and bit it on the...

I was asked by a family member why it was taking so long to paste something large into a new Microsoft Word document on their computer, I sarcastically replied it was because it takes a while to upload it all to the copilot AI nonense first. And then I realized accidentally I might be right...I disabled copilot in Word and it went back to being instant again

So that's cool that Microsoft seems uploading everything you paste into a new Word doc to their servers now.

@particlesbbs So.... are you gonna add a 20-column option, or just ignore the Intellivision community entirely?

@dfx Make sure you add Sin & Punishment to the list, it's a fantastic shooter. Only released in Japan, but there's an English translation (and even without, there's not much text). Translations also exist for Wonder Project J2 and Animal Crossing.

There are some hacked versions of exclusive Aleck64 arcade games that run on a base N64 that are kind of neat.

Lastly, there are some prototypes worth considering, like Viewpoint 2064, Glover 2, Dinosaur Planet, and 40 Winks.

@TerabyteTiger Some of my favourites:

Trax (vertical shooter with tanks)
Catrap (puzzle game)
Nail 'n' Scale (platform/puzzle)
Mercenary Force (another shooter)
Ultima: Runes of Virtue II (action RPG)
Burgertime Deluxe (improved arcade port)

@sarajw Do you have the Kickstart ROM? Amiga emulators can't do anything without it... Kickstart is technically still under copyright, so it can't legally be distributed... but search around for "amiga 500 kickstart 1.3" and I'm sure you can find it. I'm not familiar with UAE4Arm specifically, so I don't know where to actually *put* the file I'm afraid...
@briankrebs When life gives you tomatoes, make tomatoade..?
