It was such a great day. Only my second visit to SWAG, but it already feels like being among friends. Well worth a visit to anyone considering it. Thanks for including my setup in your video Neil. Also thanks to the new subscribers I have, for taking the interest :-)
Well done, Neil! I loved this...THIS is exactly what I want our computer club to grow to...just a room full of passionate people with all sorts of crazy rigs and obsessions...just brilliant!
That was a great road trip. I think it was great letting the sites and sounds of the gathering tell the story. It made it feel like I had a presence there, even though I am in Australia. I really enjoyed this. Thank you.
Greetings from Montevideo, Uruguay I love your program and see you every week .. I love the computer commodore Amiga and I have a Amiga 500 and Amiga 600. Thank you very much for the program.
Ohh.. Synths & Amiga(s) - A throwback to my roots. Used ProTracker(&OctaMED) a lot when I started in electronic/synth music way back in 1991. I still got A1200 & 2000.
Great stuff Neil. Even before watching this I found the Perth Amiga group on facebook, and they were already discussing if it was worth having a meetup. My words as a newbie: "Build it and they will come." lol. Wonderful seeing SWAG and thanks for sharing. Hopefully we can build something similar in Perth.
It brought me to shed a tear for that young lad, he's so young but yet he appreciates the amiga! MY god i thought that most kids today would ditch the old for new! I guess i shouldn't be surprised. :P
Loved the video reminds of the old computer clubs I used to go to back in 80s still have my atari and Amiga which I dug out off the attic I forgot I had both still work one problem still looking for the ton of disks I had I hope they were not skipped
It is fantastic to see the passion for this machine still alive ...here in Western Canada there are some fans, but due to the size of Canada and the expense of local travel, such groups would only be possible in bigger cities
Big shout out to the Lincoln Amiga Group massive, who had their meeting last weekend but I couldn't attend because I had the flu. I should attend SWAG really as they're much closer but I made a good amount of friends up there and they've been going since SCAG was a thing... Scunthorpe Amiga Group RIP! :D
I miss the old computer club days from the 80s/90s. I was a member of an Amiga user group in Athens, GA while attending the University of Georgia around 1990-1994. It was always a fun time. I've thought about trying to set something up in Georgia again but I'm not sure how many of us Amiga users are left in the U.S., much less Georgia.
SWAG is such an awesome event - well worth the three hour drive for me! I've been really busy using my Amiga 1200 I won, that was such a super generous donation from Scott at RetroBench, still pretty much in shock. I'll bring it along to the next SWAG meet when I should have some nice AGA pixel art :) Anyway great to see you again Neil and enjoy Blackpool. Hopefully you don't have the Norbreck's bridal suite, it is rumoured to be haunted by a deceased magnum of Lambrini once kept in its mini bar for the unlucky couple.
Thanks for the vid! I owned one of the first CDTVs released in Sweden but oh my it promised so much and delivered so little before it vanished from the market not long after. They showed a demo, well it was an animation, of a game in the store where I bought it. You were flying some sort of aircraft over a desert and it looked amazing back then. That game should be released specially for the CDTV but it never showed up. It wasnt cheap either so no, cant say it was money well spent rather the opposite but I would love to have one now in the collection of my other retro computers.
That was great neil. I love all things Amiga, what a fatastic machine! SWAG looked great, reminds me of a Amiga 'club' I used to frequent back in the day, you know the ones ;) Nice to see the younger generation interested in retro gaming, lovely stuff. Love to check SWAG out but it's too far away for me, maybe one day? I'll see you at Blackpool m8 for mi badge. Great vid :)
Great video. Besides productivity and soldering, then SWAG looks exactly like the "Data Weekend" that we usually had two times a year, that was ran by the evening school clubs. Well.... They did hold courses in programming, else it was like one person explained, just like an old school copy party. We need something like this in Denmark. We really need it.
Some of the guys on EAB tried to form a group, which met in Runcorn (not the easiest place to get to via public transport). I'd love them to try Liverpool (or someone offer a lift) so I could bring some stuff along.
Question for you: I just took my original Amiga 500 out of its 15+ year storage in the closet. It is sealed in a plastic container. I have the RGB monitor, and RAM expansion plus a bunch of random accessories. Can you direct me to a video on what to do with this vintage machine before I power it on? A checklist maybe? I don't want to accidentally ruin it. Thanks!
Assuming it's an A500 and not a 500+ you have no battery to worry about on the main board. Remove the expansion card and check if that has a battery and if it has leaked. If you have a multimeter check the pins of the power supply to be sure it is giving out the correct stable voltage. Then plug in. The 500 is pretty hardy.
Didn't know about this, not too far away... maybe time to get my A1200 (+ trapdoor accelerator) which I haven't fired up fo 20 years from the top of the wardrobe and pop along...
I will attend one day I can count on it! It is almost as if the amiga is coming back to life again, like some dormant beast deciding it has slept a bit too long and needs to have a stretch and take in the world again. I have a deep love for the Amiga, bordering on obbession! I am ugly git so find it hard to push myself to make some youtube videos. Really need to setup all my stuff properly. I somehow over a short time have managed to acquire stuff I lusted over years ago! Still kick myself for selling my complete cdtv setup though that was probably the single most dumb thing I ever did lol. Thank you RMC for making this video about the event :D
Damn i get nostalgia wibes here ,i loved the musicwarez Protracker & Fasttracker today im cheating with StudioOne & FL Studio. Love the music on the Amigas.
This just makes we want to get hold of an Amiga 1200 again. Had one as a kid for ganes and the HDD failed, then the monitor gave up the ghost so my parents threw it out (My mum was not the sort to let me take it appart at that age), and we got a PC to replace it. At the time they were only worth £20-£30 in working condition, but had a look on Ebay and was shocked how expensive they are now in coparrison (£200 for a good one!)
Yesterday's trash is tomorrow's treasure. Have a look at the price of an original Sony Walkman. TPS-L2 Back when Amiga's were still in the shops I was firmly in the Atari ST camp, but when they were down to about £20 I bought quite a few. Some I sold on, one going to the Czech Republic where they were never sold new, but I still have a few of them :-) Classic IBM PCs aren't cheap these days either. Probably because most of them suffered similar fates to the one a colleague used to fix his car exhaust !
Great video. Wish there were retro computer meetups around me in the US. On a side note. I wanted to listen to some of the music Chris made on the Amiga and Mixcloud won't let you listen if you are in the US. Strange.
Wasn't there one on retro man cave recently? A developer making new games for it? The weirdest thing about it was the portrait screen, must be the only machine to do that rather than output to a CRT television.
Great stuff! Looks like a very active user group. Can anyone identify the game being played from 6:58? Those sound effects are incredibly familiar, but I cannot put my finger on what they’re from.
Was this the Game on the Vectrex? I believe it was a recently released game. Can’t remember the name of it. The game was playing tracks from popular music. Will have to listen to it again.
What about using suitably programmed FPGA chips to replace those hard to get AMIGA chips, I hope that Pixel Vixen has a long and happy life in Tokyo Japan
Most of the wedge Amigas had these white, blue and red boxes, although the A500 one at least had a picture of an A500 on it. Some exceptions being the Desktop Dynamite and Cartoon Classics pack. Most of the later Commodore Amiga packs under their respective Wild Weird Wicked, Lemmings, Computer Combat etc. packaging were just sleeves that went over these vanilla boxes, so that dealers could swap the outer sleeve to revised packs produced by Commodore , and add in the revised software bundle, rather than dealers having 'old bundle stock'.
I have recapped my 1200, I still get CRAP video... I upgraded the video as well... no change. My 1000’s are sooo dirty, so likely they won’t function, but once I clean them up I may try... The varda death has severely damaged my 2000, but I’m about 90% repairing it. The 3000 works great, boots from hard drive, but REFUSES to recognize any floppy... methinks Gary or something has died. I also have a decent 1200 in a tower case works fine. Lots of sd and cf kits running... 3.0.4, 3.0, 2.4, 1.3... 1.2... lotsa kickstarts...
I always think that if Commodore hadn't dropped the ball so badly with the Amiga, that we would all be using them today. Macs would be non-existent and Windows would be the niche machine, with little groups keeping it alive. I've never had an Amiga, but I loved my VIC20 and my C-128. But the way Commodore dropped support on them made me leery of going on to the Amiga.
It's a nice dream but even if C= made all the right moves it would still have been Amiga that was (remained) the niche. Nothing short of Microsoft closing up shop and taking it's products with it could have changed the outcome of that.
In contrast what would have happened if Apple (or even Commodore) had licenced their designs to other companies? I know Apple did for a short while then changed their mind. The reason the PC came to dominate is that you always had Dell, HP, IBM and 101 other companies competing.
The Radeon 9200 wasn’t that expensive. Second hand it was about £35. Originally the Mediator was designed to take Voodoo cards. Nowadays those are expensive 🙂. The aim of the Mediator was to make it easier to upgrade the later big box Amigas and towered a1200s with cheaper PCI cards. There was also going to be a PowerPC card you could plug in. The Mediator was the expensive part...
I own many computers among ones are Sun , SGI , DEC , Intergraph and many Amiga one 1000 and few 500/500+(rev 8a) i'm in the process of recaping the 500* , i really love those Amiga but well one must admit their electronic stuff is very smelly :-/

You've made my day Neil!
@@AlienKidAnimations No problem little dude :D
@@RMCRetro Thank you I couldn't thank you more!
Thank you to all that had subscribed to me! I really appreciate it! Ethan from SWAG.
Wonderful event!! So many Amigacans in one place! Nice to see Pixen Vixen and Error42 made it too!
That little kid was awesome!
My thoughts exactly!
That kid is adorable! Awesome meetup. I wonder what other systems have a big fan base like this. Would love to go to an SGI one.
It was such a great day. Only my second visit to SWAG, but it already feels like being among friends. Well worth a visit to anyone considering it.
Thanks for including my setup in your video Neil. Also thanks to the new subscribers I have, for taking the interest :-)
Well done, Neil! I loved this...THIS is exactly what I want our computer club to grow to...just a room full of passionate people with all sorts of crazy rigs and obsessions...just brilliant!
That was a great road trip. I think it was great letting the sites and sounds of the gathering tell the story. It made it feel like I had a presence there, even though I am in Australia. I really enjoyed this.
Thank you.
Greetings from Montevideo, Uruguay
I love your program and see you every week ..
I love the computer commodore Amiga and I have a Amiga 500 and Amiga 600.
Thank you very much for the program.
Greetings and thank you for watching Sebastian
loved the animation demonstration, i've been learning traditional animation and that setup was really cool and helps to speed up the process a lot.
Thanks for sharing this great experience! It is great to see some familiar faces on the video.
It's great seeing kids get involved in retro computing

i love the road trip theme tune so retro
They look like Amiga enthusiasts I have to say. I can almost smell the GEEK through my monitor!!
Back in the day there was a SWAG meet in a brewery... I still remember falling off my bike on the way home.
Only Amiga makes it possible 😂
Tell me, was that the brewery in Bideford? :)
That sounds like a great meet. Brilliant 😀👍
@The Fonz hehe, I've not lived that way for nearly 20 years now myself :)
@@vix_in_japan yep.
looked like an awesome time... great to see passion for retro machines.

Nice to see so much live for the Amiga computers 👍😀
This was down to earth and totally awesome!
Felix the Cat, I remember seeing those adverts and thinking whoever animated that has unbelievable skill.

i need to get my arse in gear one day and attend this meet up , looked like a lot of fun and some of my fave Amiga personalities were present.
All those Amigas are a vintage computer user's dream but little boy there is the real hero of the show.
Take all the F you can get!
Kid at 825 his brain is ahead of his mouth lol bless him

Reminds me of the old copy/demo parties we used to have in the 90s.
Need some of this in the USA looks like fun

Very good Neil 😁 quality speaks for itself mate 😁😁😁 Kim 😁😁😁
WOW!! This really is something else Neil. Nice work as usual. 8^)
Anthony..
Fantastic video, many thanks.
Amazing! Such a great community :D I just need one for Mega Drive Devs now 😂
Sad I couldn't make it this time, my A600 is raring to go! Looks like a good time was had by all as always.
Good stuff - might try going along to the next one
The Retro Road Trip titles are back! Yay!
That's a cool event, lot's of dedicated people.
Some of the guys on EAB tried to form a group, which met in Runcorn (not the easiest place to get to via public transport). I'd love them to try Liverpool (or someone offer a lift) so I could bring some stuff along.
I was once told by an artist who worked on Catchphrase in the Roy Walker days that all the animations were created on an Amiga in DPaint.
Yeah! Tempest 2000 on Jaguar! :D

Vwestlife makes interesting technical videos without ever showing his face.
Recently joined SWAG on Facebook. Within 5 mins I'd already lined up someone to do some recapping for me.
I still have some backups on VHS! I guess I must still have that cable somewhere
Who knows what things you have forgotten about lurk on there ;-)
May have to make the 3 hour drive next year as it looks really worth the trip 🤔
It's worth it. It's 2 and 1/2 for me and even if there was something more local I'd still go to SWAG.
Damn i get nostalgia wibes here ,i loved the musicwarez Protracker & Fasttracker today im cheating with StudioOne & FL Studio. Love the music on the Amigas.

Enjoyed the lack of commentary approach to the event, giving people their own space to talk - nice work.
In some ways, I miss my PowerPC-A3000. I certainly miss AmigaOS and ARexx! Fun memories. I spent MANY hours with DeluxeMusic!
Great video. Wish there were retro computer meetups around me in the US. On a side note. I wanted to listen to some of the music Chris made on the Amiga and Mixcloud won't let you listen if you are in the US. Strange.
Gosh, I picked up my CDTV at a carboot for a tenner in about '99 I think. I wonder if it's still at my parents.
All hail Amiga
OK, THIS IS GREATNESS.
Did I hear Amigas? \o/
12:44 full formatting an SD card omg fail... why did no one stop him!? Also that young lad is very articulate and confident in front of a camera!
I noticed that someone sneaked a Vectrex in there just to show it off.
Wasn't there one on retro man cave recently? A developer making new games for it? The weirdest thing about it was the portrait screen, must be the only machine to do that rather than output to a CRT television.
8:38 : Lords of Thunder!

oooooooooooooh didnt know about this group
That Ethan is one kool kid.
Hmm, I see you have Gauntlet in the background there.
The mini cabinet? That was something I built a few months back you can find a video on the channel
What about using suitably programmed FPGA chips to replace those hard to get AMIGA chips, I hope that Pixel Vixen has a long and happy life in Tokyo Japan
12:45 quick format is the way to do it.
Full reduces the life spawn of the card.

maybe he was but no one recognized him
I thought he changed his name to pilchard muffin or something to stop the echo and the bunny man jokes?
Amigaaaaaaaahhhh
My old A600 box. Why did I throw the box away. Why did a brand new system come in such a lame box?
Most of the wedge Amigas had these white, blue and red boxes, although the A500 one at least had a picture of an A500 on it. Some exceptions being the Desktop Dynamite and Cartoon Classics pack. Most of the later Commodore Amiga packs under their respective Wild Weird Wicked, Lemmings, Computer Combat etc. packaging were just sleeves that went over these vanilla boxes, so that dealers could swap the outer sleeve to revised packs produced by Commodore , and add in the revised software bundle, rather than dealers having 'old bundle stock'.

Radeon 9200 on an Amiga 4000? How?
Mediator PCI Busboard.
@@tankgrrl Interesting, quite a nice expansion list there but at very high cost.
The Radeon 9200 wasn’t that expensive. Second hand it was about £35. Originally the Mediator was designed to take Voodoo cards. Nowadays those are expensive 🙂. The aim of the Mediator was to make it easier to upgrade the later big box Amigas and towered a1200s with cheaper PCI cards. There was also going to be a PowerPC card you could plug in.
