Which of these feels the most nostalgic to you, #Amiga peeps of past and present? I started with KS 2.04, so I never saw the V1.X screen back then. My first mental image of Amiga is always rooted in the purple screen. #AmigaRetweets #Retrogaming #AmigaNibbles

@SharkaBytes If I remember rightly my first A500 had KS 1.2. My 2000 had 1.3 which I added a rom switcher and 2.04. I could then switch between 1.3 and 2.04 using the mouse buttons on boot up. The disk image though remains more nostalgic.

@retroguybry I see the rom switchers advertised in old Amiga mags and now they''d absolutely be something I'd go back in time and recommend young Sharka ask for. And a hard drive.

@SharkaBytes 2.04 all the way. My friends all had 1.3 but I got a 500+ with the swanky new workbench. ๐Ÿ˜

@Crashedfiesta Nice! I briefly had an A500+ and then an A600 after the 500+ packed up two days after being bought and had to be returned. ๐Ÿ˜‚My parents bought a 1200 instead and handed their 600 down to me.

@SharkaBytes I started with A500+, so always gravitate towards 2.0+ and the purple boot screen. I actually find the 1.x Workbench and 1.x boot screen a bit cringe-worthy.

@rtid75 Yeah, it doesn't hold much nostalgia for me since I started off with a 600. It does feel a bit rough to me compared to the animated purple loveliness.

@SharkaBytes My #A1000 had the 1.1 & 1.2 KS Disks until I did the daughterboard to add the KS 1.2 ROM, so 1.x will always have the original nostalgia feel. It's very strange to see all 3 now on my 1000 thanks to the switch selectable ROM on the Parceiro 2 card, but I love the bootable SD/HD!

@danjmcs xD That is so cool. I wasn't as savvy with the technical and upgrading side of Amiga back then as I am now. Is it the same 1000 you've always had?

@RetroBrothers Ah, the classic 500 pack! It was the A600 Lemmings pack with Deluxe Paint III included too that was my first Amiga experience.

@SharkaBytes I started with 1.2 and a nasty bug destroyed many of my floppies on saving data. It was corrected in 1.3.

@Strontelius Oof, that's a tasty lineup of games to kick off with. And yeah, I came to Amiga from C64, so had a generational leap and shock of the new too. I have a vivid memory of my jaw dropping the first time I saw and heard the title screen of Alien Breed Special Edition '92.
