Loved my Amiga. Switched out because of lack of games.

Yeah. 

I remember when you'd got to a CompUSA (lol remember those?) the available shelf space would have to be divided between Amiga, Commadore, IBM PC, Apple.  So any one platform only a fraction of the shelf space and you could find cool games for one, but Buuuuuzzzz, that isn't available for your platform.

Those were the days.

And spending $10 for a SINGLE writable CD (not even DVD). But hey, you just bought a $1200 CD-Rom writer drive so...

I hear Betamax was superior platform to VHS.

Tech isn't always everything.  Business decisions can make or break superior products.

It was. I watched the 4 Betamax tapes we bought over and over. I've seen "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo" at least a dozen times.

Sony won with Blu-Ray. For a while.

When Wing Commander came out for the x86 platform before the Amiga I read the handwriting on the wall.

Is physical media even a thing anymore?

Everything is cloud\stream.

Even SSD might be next.  You just need a little bios mem on the motherboard and a built-in wireless internet.  We went back to terminals.

That way you can't own anything.  Just rent, rent, rent.

I was on wrong side of that battle too. Had a fantastic HD DVD player from Toshiba.

I should post my horse racing picks.

LoL. 

You could be very useful like CNBC's Jim Cramer.  It's a meme now.  He is a reverse indicator.  Whatever he says, bet the opposite.
I think someone even made an ETF that bet against anything he suggested for investment.  I think it did quite well for a while.  Never kept up with it but it was hilarious.

Raise your hand if you had a laser disc collection.

CompUSA and Computer City were my favorite back in the 90's

I remember the demo setup a CompUSA had for the Microsoft combat flight sim when it 1st came out...

Now everything is online...

I miss Radio Shack.

The game has been played out. The IP is worth nothing though HT would want you to think otherwise. Its just his retirement plan atm.

Make your own IP and start from scratch if you want a chance at success.

I.P. is one of my favorite authors. His novel Yellow Rivers is a page turner. To search for other books simply search his full name, I. P. Freely.

Willy Makeit was pretty good too. Especially "20 Miles to the Outhouse". Collaboration with Betty Dont.

I found a Mattel Intellivision console and some games recently that actually still work.
