My first full time job was at a store that sold Amiga's (and PC's). We had a very large range of software - including every game, constantly getting new stock. Once we convinced the boss to purchase a shrink-wrap machine to keep everything looking neat, we started taking games home, copying them, and sharing them with the local community. The next morning, we'd shrink-wrap the games back to their original state, and put them back on the shelf for sale.
- Moru 9y agoI'm not sure you realise this but that might have been the main reason Amiga got successful in the first place. When my friends bought computers they selected the one where they had easy access to free games. I bought an Atari while they still bought c-64 because copying tapes and discs from other users was easy. I learned programming since there was nothing else to do :-)
- EB-Barrington 9y agoOh yeah, I realise! (I bought an Amiga when I was studying Comp Sci at University, rather than the recommended PC - as the games were much better on the Amiga. Fortunately there was one unit with 68k assembly programming, ideally suited to having an Amiga (and I got really good at Speedball II).
