Caltrops - Lemmings





	[quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"]It appears for the Kindle on May 15th, but you can buy a physical copy now. It's called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Future-Was-Here-Commodore/dp/0262017202">The Future Was Here</a> and it's by Jimmy Maher. You may remember Jimmy Maher because of <a href="http://www.filfre.net/">this website</a>, where he is going event-by-event and year-by-year and blogging about early computer game systems. (I think he's got the best blog in the world at the moment.) Jimmy also put "<a href="http://www.caltrops.com/pointy.php?action=viewForum&fid=662&viewAll=true">The King of Shreds and Patches</a>" onto the Kindle earlier. As for how this thread ended up, I did in fact buy Flack's Amiga 500. It is operational and on the same desk I am typing this post from. A guy on the IRC channel #arcade at irc.enterthegame.com said he had a 1084S monitor and I purchased it from him. He was then run off the channel because he was a Christian and everyone on #arcade hates organized religion. I think I am going to have to sell or trade this Amiga 500, though -- there really doesn't seem to be a way to get a flash disk working with it. There do seem to be options with Amiga 1000s and up. I'd rather have thousands of games available instead of what I have been able to physically get. (To this end, a few months ago a guy on Denver's craigslist said that he was selling a few hard copies of Amiga games -- RPGs mostly. I got into a fight with my girlfriend and I thought that the best way to show her I was my own man, psh, was to buy $50 worth of Amiga boxes and disks and then never bring the subject up. I was trying to meet the guy at 5:15PM on a weeknight, but in Denver that is pretty much impossible due to all the construction on I-25. I did get the games successfully, but now any time there is heavy traffic coming home from work I get a retro-erection.) Enjoy the book and games, everyone. ICJ[/quote]
