It's definitely nostalgia for me. I still remember the day I got Shadow of the Beast for my Amiga 500, back in 1989. I was blown away by the graphics, especially parallax scrolling, and sound. I taught myself C on that machine (Lattice 5.x?) Some of the things I learned still are with me to this day. Before that I had only used BASIC.

I later upgraded to an Amiga 3000. That was my favorite machine of the early 90's era. Eventually, Linux started taking off and around 1994 I moved on from the Amiga.

I play around with the Amiga occasionally on various emulators. I also got a MIST box some years ago (which is an FPGA-based emulator.) IMO the FPGA stuff isn't worth it given the speed of emulation you can obtain even on a Raspberry Pi.
