hey bic! amiga PWNS mac! what was the max colors and resolution etc of a mac from 1985?

Post by **bicostp** » Sun Feb 25, 2007 5:41 pm

512x384 with any color you want as long as it's black or white.

(I was referring to IBM-compatables. Of course Amigas had better graphics and sound at the time. But which one is still actively developed and supported by a company?

)

Oh and people... atari2600a != Retromaster Their IPs are completely different. (Aside form being 4 groups of 3 numbers seperated by periods.)

amiga could do 320x200 or up to 640x400 interlaced at 32 or 16 colors normally, up to 4096 with HAM-6

the only reason we all arent using amiga right now is the horrible financial handling of every single company that has owned the amiga brand. it still has a massive userbase tho! and amiga OS4 is a recent addition to the line with its own computers that you cant really find due to the aformentioned reason

^ Yep.

God I love Amiga. Never owned another since Amiga 1200 though, I heard about the others, the PPC "Amigas", but if it's not a creamy yellow massive thing with 3-5 numbers a the end, it's not an amiga to me.

Hmm, NES Blinky is so cool *Sarcastic*

But seriously, I would have to Say GC or Xbox as a close tie.
1: Gamecube Has it to where you can play with the Startup, make the Cube Spin, make a weird squeaky noise, and with 4 Controllers and Everybody pressing the Z buttons, the Startup make a Ninja Yell.
Xbox was friggin awsome the First time I saw it, but yet the Infamouse Error Screen Telling you to Send in your Xbox for Repairs would be the most scary things to see if you booted up your Xbox

Hmmm.... there IS a possible chance that UA might have an Amiga A1200 for you!! All accessories, RF-Video cable, cable that goes into the composite ports on Amiga, but into SCART on TV. Included is a 450MB HDD (internal, not external), a *working* external floppy disk drive (i.e. load games with 2 disks quicker, it's not in best of shape, but it works fine), 1 Joystick that works... fine. Sadly, shipping will be dear because it's an amiga, and overseas shipping.

Retromaster, you might want an amiga, but I refuse to sell to you.

EDIT: The reason it's possible is because if I let it go i'll probably miss it.

No personal problem but with your past acts you came across as a kid and a nuisance (not my usual vocab haha), not that I know how old you are or know you at all.
