ScuzzBlog: Diaries September 2017 Entry 3rd September 2017: Post: 3 Covered in Amiga Goodness I guess for me the joy of venturing into town and buying my favourite Amiga magazine is something that I truly miss. For when I got home and slotted in that little plastic disk I really never knew what to expect. Sometimes a game that would keep me up all night, or software that made for rewarding activities. Maybe there would be nothing of great interest. But there was always the anticipation of something new. I seriously loved the Amiga magazines. Their colour, their vibrant rich spreads of interesting, informative and entertaining content. I always felt that the Amiga was trying to capture my imagination, to offer me challenges and mostly give me a whole heap of fun. There was so much promise in all that was pervade through the pages of the magazines. And the cover disks were the cherry on the top. The gift from the Amiga to me as reward for falling in love with this wonderful computer. It really was a very sad day when the last Amiga magazine fell from the store shelves for with it was lost forever that tiny plastic disk. It was the disk that provided the artery between community and user and now we were cut adrift. The Amiga was lost that day for me... So sad. And so here are some of the disks I hold dear to my heart and keep in a special box to the side of one of my most treasured Amigas. Mementos of a golden time and still capable of filling me with happy treasured moments. Nothing but nothing can replace the time we shared together. For now I have happy memories.
