Upgrading the Amiga 1200 Part 2
It is great to be working on my Amiga 1200 again this weekend!

Playing YouTube videos on Amiga 500 with new Netsurf 3.6 and plipbox (and Vampire 2)
So, I saw this video from a link about the latest version of Netsurf 3.6 (the 68k SDL version found –> here <–). I’m a fan of this browser and encourage everyone with a classic machine to try it out.
The test video shows the author using this on an Amiga 500 that has the Vampire 2 accelerator and a plipbox (ethernet over parallel port).

Wow! Amiga Workbench 3.1 and Kickstart 3.1 with minor updates now for sale!
Hyperion announced yesterday that you can now purchase an official copy of Workbench 3.1 and Kickstart 3.1 without going through Cloanto (or less legal methods). And the most amazing part of this is that there ware updates, although minor.
Compared to the Boing Bag expansions for 3.9 that have been continued by Amiga Projects (–> here <–), it seems like not much of an update. The BetterWB is also a 3.1 update that is a great update too.

Amiga 1200 has arrived
After promising myself I would never buy another Amiga 1200 after having so many issues with them over the years, I weakened when this fully recapped one came to my attention recently. I was able to buy it for a fair price and it has arrived today!
A Look At Sky Force Anniversary
Good vertical/top view shooters are many, way too many to mention and i am sure i will trigger some emotions when i say that my favorites of all time was mostly from the late 80’s era. 1942 , Raiden,Twin Cobra, Banshee and Flying shark being the ones i like the most and to me they all count as both fantastic games and some very good childhood memories. Sky Force Anniversary is the new king...
