I've been eyeing them too. Never seem to manage to conjure enough want to justify the price though.

I know. Same here. I think if I don't just go ahead and get them, I won't ever do it. So, that's just going to have to be enough motivation, heh.

Yeah it would be nice to have it working without any hassle.
Pay day is soon so this time I just might buy them. :)

Couldn't wait, got them a couple days early. If you buy both at the same time, you do get a small discount ($10 USD for me). I went for the boxed+download versions as I'm a physical media nerd, heh.

Now I have to remember how to run half this stuff. Right now, I'm working on an SSI Gold Box A600 setup. It will be an A600 with a hdd and all nine gold box games on it - looks like all of the games have hard drive installers, so that helps. =)

I'm also going to re-create my A500, though I will add an hdd to it just for the fun of it. Might just build my Gold Box setup on that for nostalgia sake. =)

Flynn

Two days until I get paid! Thanks for telling me about the discount, that seems like a good deal. :)

I'll probably go for a standard A500 setup also with the Gold Box games. That will keep me for a good while until I start adding more games. :)

I just went with interplays disc of the dos versions + Dfend reloaded. :P

I have that setup as well. But I have fond memories of playing these on the Amiga back in the day. Also, the earlier games arguably look (and definitely sound) better than the DOS versions. Once the VGA engines started (Pools of Darkness, etc.) they did look better than the Amiga versions. Although the AGA version of Dark Queen looks pretty good. =)

Flynn

yeah alot of the early DOS verions had terrible sound but that was due to the soundcards not being all that common at the time but I tend to find that if you set the games to Tandy sound while setting Dosbox to Tandy mode it's a much more pleasant experience, not as good as Amiga sure but better then it was.

I do that with a lot of games that support it as one of my first IBM compatibles was a Tandy 1400LT with dual 3.5" floppies. I still have that computer somewhere in storage. My other fun old computer like that is a Zenith SuperPort with a low-density 3.5" and a 20 MB hard drive. =)

Flynn

same here, my first IBM compatible was a Tandy don't recall what model number it was, kinda funny when I think about it since the first computer my parents ever bought us was a Tandy TRS 80 Color Computer 2 which was eventually replaced by a year later by a commodore 64 and then my first IBM compatible was a Tandy which got replaced a year later by 486 dx2 IBM PS/2

When I went to community college in the late 90s, the only computer I could afford was a Toshiba T1100+ laptop - 8088 processor, LCD screen and dual 3.5" floppies. That and a copy of Word Perfect 5.1 got me through the first year. The Tandy and Zenith were given to me during that first year as well, but were too big to carry around easily. The second year, I was given a GRiD 386 laptop with a grey scale VGA screen and an 80 MB had drive.

I had a blast with that little guy. Lots of Ultima and Wing Commander were played on that thing. Sadly, it developed a problem with the motherboard and I never was able to fix it properly.

My first exposure to computers was a Commodore Vic-20, which my brother bought, then a Commodore 64. My first computer I owned was a C=64 which then became a 128 and an Amiga 500. Unfortunately, I was newly married and in a very low paying job at the time, so I had to sell it to pay some bills off.
