Adrians Digital Basement | From Death's doorstep to alive again: I really love this Field Found Amiga 500 @adriansdigitalbasement | Uploaded November 2023 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
We have the final installment in the field found Amiga 500 saga. When I first unboxed this computer, I had my doubts that this machine would ever work again. So when it had signs of life in parts 1, I suddenly realized that it was indeed possible it would live to play another game. So in this part, the machine finally gets the TLC is deserves and is all back together.
