tasty new amiga groovebox just dropped

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@Cognessence @Rushup_Dee fuck yeah, esp the backlit ones (i have the NES tribute SP, it's a beauty)

[cognessence@social.linux.pizza]

@sean_ae @Rushup_Dee Oh yeah, that was a thing of beauty!

I had both the original and the SP, and remember trying to angle the former to see. And then getting one of those ridiculous/kinda cool? worm lights to solve the issue.

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@Cognessence @Rushup_Dee yeah i had the original as well, a white one

that was peak nintendo era for me, them things and the gamecube

[cognessence@social.linux.pizza]

@sean_ae @Rushup_Dee Oooh, white was good on them. I had a generic purple one.

100% agreed it was peak Nintendo era. Advance Wars, Golden Sun, Metroid Prime...my days.

They got rather "seeker friendly" after that.

@qebo @sean_ae You can grab a cheap Pistorm accelerator but have you seen what stock Amigas go for now

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@janne808 @qebo a500 goes for about £200

[janne808@lacommune.social]

@sean_ae @qebo Used to be something like 20 Euros for an A500. A1200 is even worse, I'm pretty sure there are still tons of them around in Europe.

@Cognessence @sean_ae @Rushup_Dee (pssss, Mother 3)

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@janne808 @qebo yeah no doubt

@Cognessence @sean_ae @Rushup_Dee

How about this creature? I love how it's see-through, like an animatronic. I also have a yellow GB Color which dramatically ran out of battery mid set the other Friday playing LSDJ on a boat well, alongside two other instruments (phew!)

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@elifyalvac @Cognessence @Rushup_Dee very much yes

I still have an old gb somewhere, I wonder where that is

I had nanoloop as well

[cognessence@social.linux.pizza]

@sean_ae @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee I’m sure these GBA posts are why I’ve been sharing remixing stuff randomly.
(Sorry for spam.)

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@Cognessence @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee ooh what’s this remix? Solid work

[cognessence@social.linux.pizza]

@sean_ae @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee On '16 Bits of Heaven' I wasn't into drums in that period and it was fairly true to the chips on the whole / not "loud" - have wanted to do a souped-up more hyped drummier version for a while (though am happy with the original for what it is.)

Thank you.

[sean_ae@post.lurk.org]

@Cognessence @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee yeah I marginally prefer the original tbh but I like this a lot as well

Esp all the extra trills and whatnot, very turbocharged

[oscillik@mstdn.social]

@Cognessence @sean_ae @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee Jazz Jackrabbit on the GBA?!

[cognessence@social.linux.pizza]

@sean_ae @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee I'm genuinely really glad you prefer the original; I do too - feels more personal and dynamic.

But it is fun to go mainframe and turbocharged once in a while.

[sorry again for turning this thread towards my current 16-bit pop experiments ]

[cognessence@social.linux.pizza]

@oscillik @sean_ae @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee I'll be honest - I just put my favourite games on there. "16 bits" was a bit loose when it came to the video.

(Though some ARE 16 bit, I tell ye!)

[oscillik@mstdn.social]

@Cognessence @sean_ae @elifyalvac @Rushup_Dee if you ain't playing Commander Keen with PC-speaker sounds only, you ain't playin' right.
