    Perfect, just what I need to finally complete digitising my Amiga collection. Didn't have a console until I got a Wii a few years back but started out with an Amiga 500 in the early 90s and while it failed some time ago I still have 500+ floppies to sort and convert to adf files. This is great news.

    Definitely don't miss the hardware though (including the single button joysticks) and emulators have been pretty solid since I started trying them out in. Can't wait to get stuck in again.

    'Taito's Bubble Bottle'

    That's BUBBLE BOBBLE, obviously.

    There's a much quicker way of completing your collection: the Amiga TOSEC archive has been live since 2012, and has over 62,000 disk images (though that includes duplicates, translations, and bad dumps.)

    Whoopsie. Odd that I should typo "Bobble" but write "Bubble" just fine; I could understand "Buttle Bottle"... I'll go fix that, ta!

    From the link:
    "After a beta-testing period, the emulated Amiga programs at the Archive have been taken down for further development. Thanks to everyone for testing the Amiga In-Browser emulation"
