A600 Vampire V2 - Total acceleration for the Amiga 600!

Throughout this month so far we have been writing about the ' Vampire 600 V2 ' which according to our previous articles 1 and 2 is a beastly accelerator for the Amiga 600 by Igor Majstorovic, (Majsta). and tcore (CPU) by Gunnar von Boehn, (BigGun) that basically turns your Amiga 600 into one of the fastest Amiga's available! Not only that, but without the heat, the mad power requirements and still gives solid frame rates in games such as Doom and Day of the Tentacle whereas other Amiga's would slow to a crawl. In fact a number of videos have now surfaced showing us just how good this piece of kit is. It's just a shame we don't have an Amiga 600 on hand to give you our thoughts, but we will be waiting on the Amiga 1200 Vampire when and if that arrives!

A600 Vampire II - A beast of an accelerator coming to the Amiga 600 with pre-order!

Welcome to the ' Vampire 600 V2 ', a powerhouse of technical marvel by Igor Majstorovic, (Majsta). and tcore (CPU) by Gunnar von Boehn, (BigGun) that is faster than an Amiga 1200 with a 68060 accelerator running at 80MHz with very little heat or power consumption all for the low price of €150!

Recommended Youtubers for retro hardware goodness Lazy Game Reviews, Kooky Tech....

As you well know, this site is very much based on both the Indie and Retro side of gaming goodness, especially with my era going back to the 80's. Well just recently, I was checking through some of the best Youtubers, looking for some great hardware reviews of Retro systems. Well sure enough I found them, and although I don't usually plug other peoples views, this comes as an exception. I never had a C64, nor did I have a ZX Spectrum, but I did have an Amstrad cpc 464 and then onto an Amiga. There is something missing nowadays, as when I was a kid, there was complete excitement just going into a store and buying the latest magazine or seeing rows and rows of tapes at just £2.99. Or the large Amiga boxes full of colour, lots of floppies and spin wheels donating the games anti-protection. Such good times, such awesome games.... So if you are looking to buy a Retro computer system, either an 8bit or 16/32bit then enjoy the videos below!
