Hi Retro Fans,

I am known also on the forum Lemon Amiga as Misha,i use it because it`s my real life nickname.

I`m 37 years old,have a partner for whom i`ve been with for the past two years and an 8 month old son.

I`m a chef,have a real passion for retro gaming but unlike some i do like to keep up to date with the latest consoles,the biggest problem i have these days is lack of time to keep my interest going. My first system was an Amstrad CPC 464,since then i`ve gone through various systems but the one i kept a real interest in is Amiga. I`ve had 3x A500`s,1x A600 & 5x A1200`s.... my current system :- A1200T / Apollo 1240,16MB Ram / Amiga OS 3.9.

In my spare time (not like i have alot) i like to build PC Systems and from time to time give an Amiga 1200 a brand new home by sticking it in a computer tower and giving it a few essential upgrades,emulation is the way i get to enjoy great classic consoles nowadays but i have just started collecting and hope to have more gear than Brad one day lol.

Welcome to the board Misha
(make sure you teach your son 'old is good' when it comes to console games) I have 5 kids all girls ranging from 2 wks to 19 years old except for the 2 week old they all play the old systems (great test pilots for hardware LOL) the newest thing I have in the house is an x-box with all the nintendo roms on saves dragging out the systems for them to play (but I am a bit taken by the Wii I must admit)

Yeah, here in Australia it seems EVERYONE is looking for an A4000 (or even an A3000) they go for quite a bit of money, so i have to stick with my PC for the moment also, ive still got my good 'ol A1200 with OS 3.1 untill i get to upgrade = )


what does Kim Lemon have by the way?

This is Kim`s setup...if you look at the bottom of his posts it tells you but i`ve copied and pasted for ya....A1200 / Blizzard 1260 / 64MB RAM / 40GB 2.5" internal HD / Subway USB / OS 3.9.

The Blizzard 1260 and the 64MB RAM is what is making me jealous,you`ll get your miggy upgraded just a question of keeping your eye out on ebay for bits and pieces or trying www.amigakit.com but it can be expensive, checkout the price of a Amiga Tower on there....?136 or $319 Australian Dollars if the currency convertor is correct.

Hi Jungle ninja,

Nope i`m not! i`m not even Welsh,i`m English guy that emigrated to Wales, i got the nick Misha due to some Russian friends i know! in Russia Misha is Mike or Michael which is my real name just Misha sounded better than boring old Mike so i tend to use it more than my real name. Hope that answered your question.

Thanks for answering. Well, sorry to say my friend, but in those countries (Slavic) that is a nickname for girls. Embarassed

But then, it doesn't bother me and if no one else knows, who cares, right?

Hi Brad & All other members,

Well after a long absence there is not really much to add on the misha and collecting front,i`ve added an Amiga CD32 to my collection and been adding lots of Amiga CD-Roms to my collection. The problem i`ve found with collecting so many different systems is i can`t seem to concentrate on one system @ a time but over the christmas period i decided i had to

The next system i plan to add to the colly will be an Amiga CDTV,been a few on ebay lately but going for ridiculous prices,around about ?100 inc p&p because of the christmas period,i plan to wait until after when the prices will be a little cheaper.
