> And it was soooo slow on Amiga

Wasn't that the one with 10 floppy disks or something?

Largo comes in, talks for a bit, swishes spit in his mouth, leans back

And at that moment I knew I needed to get a hard drive.


mi2 was 11 floppies (plus another to hold saves).

On the basic 68000 based models it was kinda slow. And without a hard disk nor over 1mb memory, it was a lot of floppy swapping.

I still played through it to the end, and enjoyed it.


I never really made it off the first island. It was just sooooo tedious. I couldn't afford a HDD.
