I used the Amiga to incorporate some graphics to my camcorder-based projects using Video Toaster. A revolutionary product for it's time.

"Video Toaster" a serious blast-from-the-past

We bought our son one for Xmas one year, xmas eve we were trying to set it up and got so annoyed, tired and flustered with it we got him up at 2am to set it up for himself for the morning! He was delighted.

You just wanted to play games on it before your son

Actually that was the idea but had no clue what we were doing and when we did read the destructions we were even more confused. He came down and it took him 5 minutes!

The Amiga, 500 and it's all important plus, was my very first computer. I used to devour adventure games on it - the secret of monkey island, cruise for a corpse, maniac mansion and the like.
