That monitor has quite a side quest of its own. It lived in my project shed in California after you kicked it to the curb, and somehow survived those extremes and silly Raspberry Pi experiments. Then moved to the other coast in a box. Stored for months. Unpacked. Sat in a garage for more months. And then back to you for this amazing video of a game that doesn’t work.
Ahhh… The good old days before Whdload. I was lucky to get a 240MB HDD upgrade done on the A1200 I bought back in 1993. I remember doing this with my Monkey Island game disks. 11 disks for Monkey Island 2. I know that in the U.K on Amiga Format magazine you could get on either the floppy or CD it came with in the front, HDD installers for games that weren’t designed for HDD installing 👍🏻 Great vid “Q” 😉🙏🏻 Oh and I don’t bother with the RTFM either 😊
Perfect example of where "piracy" saves the day, when you can go to your Internet RAID setup and grab backups of the discs you legally own which are not corrupted. Good old floppy disks. I remember when Zip disks came out and buying a drive from my campus computer store. How refreshing to be liberated from floppy disk storage limits.
I used to disk swap a 10 disk install of something i forget... btw: Nice magnet
Yeah I keep finding those magnets all around my house. Hmmm.
Street fighter or beneath a steel sky both had a lot of floppies
@@daromxs oh yeah. Flight of the Amazon Queen too. A lot of the adventure games are like that.

Hahah couldn’t be a better story!
I have that game, boxed and all, and now I want to install it on my A1200 hahaha! 😀
Great video, mate!
Thank you and yes install it! It's fun!
Great to see the game running in the end, after the disk issues... ;) Thank you very much!
Wish it worked, but oh well!

240mb! That’s actually pretty big back then. Nice setup!

Yeah I’m no fan of disks. A…quaint time.
