Brief overview of the Commodore 1581. An amazing piece of period-accurate retro hardware goodness. From a collecting standpoint, it's one of the Cadillacs of the Commodore 8-bit line. ARTICLE VERSION: https://www.amigalove.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1507
During this video I create my own "boing ball badged" Amiga 1000 in honor of Dave Needle's memory and life, one of the founding father's of the Amiga computer. He was also co-creator of the Atari Lynx, 3DO, a husband and a father. R.I.P Dave Needle.

Rogue for Amiga is hands down the best version of Rogue made for home computers. I walk through the history of Rogue and the original core ports made in the 1980s. I also show some of the original core "roguelikes" as they were made on Amiga in the 80s and early 90s and show the main differences.

I got my hands on one of the legendary Amiga 1000 Phoenix motherboards, install it and fire it up. Read more about this amazing machine on amigalove.com here: https://amigalove.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=476
Part II of this project: getting the internal SCSI working

Trivia: The poem that is printed on the motherboard is called Desiderata, by Max Ehrmann. It was actually written in 1927 - not 1692 as printed on the motherboard.

I took 4.5 mins from Sam Raimi's 1993 Army of Darkness movie, created a custom 1 minute edit, then recreated the entire clip in CG using Maya, Photoshop and After Effects. YouTube makes the video very dark and hard to see.
Enjoy!

Eric Hill of Amiga Love gives two talks concerning the Amiga 1000. This is talk 1. It is a short history of the A1000; a discussion of a search for the creator of The Rejuvenator board - Greg Tibbs; a plan to reverse engineer The Rejuvenator and the difficulties behind it; and a status update on the project to bring it back to market.
