Another loyal Amiga gamer passes away Laffer35 - Sad News


It has come to our attention that Laffer35; a loyal, friendly and all round great chap has passed away due to suicide. He was in the hearts of many Amiga owners as not only was he a valued member of LemonAmiga and EAB ( English Amiga Board ), but he did many great Amiga longplay videos while giving friendly comments to other longplay's. As such JimPlaysGames has done a very heart felt video message, that I really think you should watch. Laffer35 I didn't know you personally, but thank you for being a great part of the Amiga community, and as I've had personal experience with suicide, I perhaps know a little bit of how you felt.

Sad News - Gyorgy Dragon aka Gyu passes away


It's with great regret, sadness and heart felt feeling, to mention that Gyorgy Dragon, aka Gyu has passed away. He was and still is a big part of the Amiga community, and contacted us way back in the summer of last year for the Amiga Day celebrations.  It was also because of him, that many Amiga owners got together such as our staff writer Alistair to show off their Amiga collection, or brought Amiga's back to life with fixes and paint jobs. A very sad start to 2015...

RIP Gyorgy Dragon, you'll be missed :(
