Good old fun. That’s how I would describe Mikey Does the 80’s Again!!! (Take 2) show from Thursday 27-6-2013.
I had a great time and it was a real blast from the past. I talked about it before but when we still lived in Thailand I listened to Mikey’s show a lot. So this one brought back some really great memories. I hope he does another one (Christmas?) and for sure I will be tuning in.
Commando is a game that just won’t work with WinUAE. I had not upgraded to the latest version for some time but today I thought I would do so and while doing this I thought it might be a good idea to try Commando again. And what a surprise it was that it worked. So far I just tried the first bit of the game so it could be it fails later on in the game. This type of game is really my favorite. Sadly the C64 had more of these type games compared to the Amiga. I use the word sadly not to offend the C64 but for the fact I had no C64.
So far I posted two articles that contained video(s). One was about Licence to Kill and the other about Run the Gauntlet. I will use it more often as it gives the articles that extra touch of greatness. I am already working on a new article which will include a video that will just give it that extra bit. You will see.
Trevor posted a new article on his blog in which he talks about the Silicon Dreams/VCF 2013 (UK tech show) taking place on 5-7 July 2013. They hope to show a few interesting things but no promises. I will keep an eye on the this next weekend and hopefully we do get to hear about some interesting things.
An evening of good old fashioned fun. That’s what I call listening to Mikey_C on AmigaWorld Radio. It has been some time since I listened to it. Last time was when I still lived in Thailand which was 2003/2004. So when he announced a new broadcast on Monday the 7th of June I cleared my schedule for that evening. Currently I am listening to it and I am loving it. Just like the good old days. With very wrong Eighties music at certain times.
I asked Mikey_C if he would broadcast from the Vintage Computer Fair being held at Bletchley Park on Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th of June 2010. But it looks this is not going to happen due to the “lack” of internet. I hope they are able to get enough bandwidth to do a live show from the floor for us not being able to attend the show.
No Mikey_C show is complete without a quiz. Tonight’s quiz; what is the connection between the four songs played. The connection was cities and I was amongst the group of people that got it correct. Well the show ended and I had a great time. What better way to fill a Monday evening. Reminding myself I should visit the Amigans and AmigaWorld chat room more often.
