I got my 1MB Ram Commodore Amiga A500 out the other day after 15 years covered up in a box.
Call me mad if you wish but I spent £60 on accessories from AmigaKit to get it working again (power supply, RGB to Scart cable, digital joypad, mouse).
I thought the Amiga would look really weird on my 26" LCD after it was last used on a 14" CRT TV but it actually looks pretty good.
The keyboard's quite yellow now (I read that most Amigas ended up like this) but it still looks like a nice colour.
I had an A520 TV modulator somewhere but can't find it now.
Amazingly, all of 10 games I tried worked perfectly (even a couple that weren't in a box or cassette).
Games I've been playing are:
Sid Meier's Colonization
Top Gear 2
European Champions
Thundercats
Mercenary Escape from Targ and The Second City compendium
Insanity Fight
Barbarian - The Ultimate Warrior
Ikari Warriors
Captain Fizz
Soccer Mania
I've also got a boxed office suite, which I haven't tested, called InterOffice 2.0.
Top Gear 2 game
Sid Meier's Colonization game
