I hope SE5 is worth it, as i just ordered it from Gamestop for $99.98 (with shipping fees to Brazil), and customs taxes of another another $49.99 in a total of $149.97...

If the brazilian customs works as always, in around 3 or 4 months i will receive the game... by them i hope the patches released make it a better game than the demo...

Ouch. It will be worth it in the end, though. Keep in mind SE:IV had what, 84 or 92 patches to make it what it is today; I forget what the current version number is.

EDIT: current version is 1.95, so 95 patches...

I got a call, it will be at GameStop this afternoon. Hurray!! NA Texas location.

This GameStop also said that they carry few computer games. I looked around in the store, but could only find XBox, and other Console type games. I saw no PC ones, let alone an Amiga game.

The latter is hardly surprising, given that I can't find any mention of a new game release for the Amiga more recent than 2000.

My first two home computers were Amigas.

95 VERSION numbers, not 95 patches. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif SE5, for example, is up to 1.06 without having a single patch released yet, and I suspect the actual patch will be 1.07 or 1.08.

No doubt because Commodore went out of business in 1994, and the last actual Amiga (as opposed to AmigaOne, which is a PowerPC) was made c. 1996. Not much potential in porting new games to 10-years-in-the-dustbin-of-history platforms.

I loved my C64. My dad gave it to me when his employer gave him a lunch box 286. I was the only kid I knew with a computer at college back in those days. I played the heck out of Wizard's Crown, F15 Strike Eagle, and Gunship.

Wizards Crown:Eternal Dagger was my favorite game on the C64, I stayed up for 3 days straight playing it one time.
