That was a great game, wasn't it?
I know of a couple "Megaball Clones," the most obvious being DXBall http://www.longbowdigitalarts.com
(The original author (Seumas McNally) has passed away)
Rivalball is another great one, continued from the people that worked
with Seumas, who died in 2000.
http://www.rivalball.com

I like Rivalball for the simple reason, that I can get .mod files that
aren't "Exactly" right for the game, put them in the same directory as
the other .mod files, and it works perfectly. Of course, the more .mods
that you put in that directory, the longer it takes the game to start.
All of the .mods from DXBall work, and also the .mods from Aminet.

Have fun!

When I'am happy they are happy. So...;) It is something that wife
can not mess with, but once I tryed to explain her but I think
that she was thinking about what to cook that day ;) Actualy, she
asked me if I can get some money for some little program that I made
:) After that I got more that 250 downloads of that program on
Aminet and I was pissed couse I didnt ask for donation of 1 euro.
That would almost cover costs of buying Amiga 1200. Sht! :)

It seems like it ;)

I just hooked up my old A2000 again and played some games on it.

I did not have an amiga in my childhood.

Bought an Amiga 1200, 600 and 500 a few years back, when they were not that expensive.
Prices gone up quit a bit since then.

I use a CF card on the 1200 and a Gotek floppy emulator on the a500.

I feel ya on the prices these days. For what I use, WinUAE does the job. If I spent the money for what I am emulated, I can buy a new car with the same amount.

Decent price is the issue. I have found good deals on C64 and C128 haerdware and jumped on them. Currently running a C-Net DS-2 on a real C64. I have a C128 coming soon that will house a C-Net128 BBS on real hardware. I am emulating the Amiga for my Amiga BBS and also emulating a C64 with Vice and running a second C-Net DS-2 BBS on Vice.
I challenge everyone to call the Real Hardware then the Emulated Hardware and see if you can tell the difference.

I'm sure something can be arranged. However you need to source your own power supply since the ones I have is for 220V with european sockets.

Any older system like that you would want to up-date the power supply. I have on all my othe Commodore systems. If you get time, and you don't mind. Can you look into this?
