About Me

The Amiga Walker, many people hated its design, even though I think it better than the Playstation 2 design (just a bloody rectangle box!). The most surprising thing is that this is the closest the Amiga has ever come, for a complete AmigaNG. The hardware was finished, the new Kickstart Roms were almost complete, and it was working! If fact 3 Walker were made! 2 were on display at a show in 96, but Escom were starting to hit trouble, and went into liquidation. When Gateway bought the Amiga, they quickly announced that they had no plans to develop on the walker. It was open for other companies to buy the technology of the walker, but this was late 97, when the walker could really no longer compete (like it could of done in 96!), and so was left to be locked away.
