Xbox: Amiga and ST
Hello
I just downloaded a DVD for my Xbox full of old Atari ST and Amiga games and all those demo's I used to be impressed with when I was 16! About 8000 of them I think!
Just played Speedball and Lemmings!

I still use my ST. If you want a pc ST emulator check out "Steam", runs practically everything I've thrown at it. I still play Arkenoid, Rick Dangerous, Magic Pockets etc. They don't make games like those any more

I've tried the emulators for both on the the pc, and have found the ST emulators to be far more stable and reliable...

Yep. it's on my laptop, Desktop and the gf's desktop
Even on the gf's Athlon 950 machine it works fine.
On my Athlon64 it's great and the Laptop is a Athlon 2400 - also fine.
All machines have about 512mb (though it worked with 256 in laptop for a while)
