Enjoying Music Applications with Amiga 500 v1.3 System in 2026

 Over the years I have spent considerable time upgrading all of my Amiga systems, with modern operating systems, hardware upgrades, and new software.

It is wonderful we have such an active Amiga community and scene that supports the ongoing release of new games, new hardware and new Amiga operating system upgrades in 2026.

That said, I also like having a simple Amiga 500 system, running Workbench 1.3 and having the software originally released in that era.

Settlers 2 and Blok for Amiga in 2025

I remember when the original Settlers was released on Amiga in 1993. I was living in Alice Springs at the time, and buying most new release Amiga titles was impossible there.

So I never got to play it.

Actually, in the last two years I finally tracked down a physical box release of the original Settlers for Amiga, but I haven't found the time to play with it yet!

Atari Jaguar has arrived

 I remember when the Atari Jaguar first came out in 1993 - it proudly boasted a 64bit architecture, when all the competing systems and consoles were 16bit.

My A1200NG Amiga system build

I remember when AmigaKit announced the A600GS system a while back. I was not so interested in it, as it is a linux based Amiga emulation installed in a generic case that unfortunately doesn't look or feel like an Amiga. Much the same as the Vampire 4 standalone - another machine I didn't buy.

It was why I bought the A500 mini system when it was released - it looks like an Amiga.
