Yeah, I think I was 7 or 8 years old when I got it for Christmas. A couple of friends of mine got C64s that same Christmas, so it was around the end of the VIC-20 era. Good memories.
Yeah, wish I still had my A500. Sold it in high school and had no computer for a long while after that. Use a Mac nowadays but open up the FS-UAE emulator once in a while to explore some old Amiga games.
