The instructions were exquisitely designed, too, with the occasional historical trivia blurb about Pac-Man along the way.
For a complete Inception experience you can actually take the back of the cabinet off to reveal a small arcade inside where a player is holding a coin to start a game of pac-man. There's even a dollar/change machine and trippy 80s carpet. Fun stuff!

Almost exactly 2 years ago, US-based Amiga addict and inventor David Dunklee shocked the Amiga world with the Parceiro. It provided 8MB of fast RAM, a coin-cell RTC and micro SD storage for Amiga 1000 fans. And, it worked in OS 1.3. Parceiro 2 is a large improvement on that vision and removes the need for a boot disk. AND: you can load 3 different Kickstart ROMS and 3 different versions of Workbench - which you can select with the flip of a switch!

This is a clip of the intro for the game. It looks and sounds so good, some not familiar with the game might mistake it for the Amiga version. Absolutely jaw-dropping.
And, the C128 version supports: - Dual Monitors, to better accommodate the new automap feature (not in the original) - 2Mhz - Numpad movement support (just like the Amiga!). I asked for this feature a few years ago and it isn't listed as a feature in the game notes. BUT IT IS THERE! - And so much more.

An absolutely immaculate and gorgeous version of Tetris as seen on the Commodore Amiga, a “computer from the future” that hit retail shelves in the impossible year of 1985. It took PCs at least 5 years to catch up.
When this game was made for Amiga, most PCs had a 2” speaker that mainly bleeped and blooped.Amiga 1000 Parceiro: Memory, Clock, StorageAmiga Love2020-12-30 | In this video I demonstrate a brand new piece of hardware 100% designed for the Amiga 1000 (for a change!) called the Amiga Parceiro. It is a beautiful expansion board that provides 8MB fast SRAM with zero wait states, a Real Time Clock, and a 2GB microSD using the Fat file system. And it is all completely compatible with original Amiga OS 1.3 for a semi-autobooting experience. MORE INFO: amigalove.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1689

MINOR CORRECTION: Adrian is in Springfield, MO, not St. Louis. Ugh! Sorry about that, Adrian.
This video shows the fantastic intro and outro animations from Eye of the Beholder for Amiga. Everyone saw the intro back in the day. Only those on Amiga who actually finished the game ever got to see the end-sequence animation. Everyone else? Two sentences of text. Amiga FTW!
