    That’s the first computer I grew up on. Taught me English as well, mainly through adventure games like Space quest & King’s quest.

    Glad I got to grow up with that, I don’t really envy young people in that regard.

    That external hard drive had a whopping 20 megabytes of storage. I can still remember the sound or it spinning up…

      Cassette Futurism is just name of genre like Steampunk, Cyberpunk or Dieselpunk

        You’re telling me that a picture of a regular steam locomotive fits into Steampunk, or that a regular 18-wheeler fits into Dieselpunk, and I disagree.

        This ad for a regular technological device of the cassette era does not fit into cassette futurism.

          Well, There’s no true defenition of cassette futurism or IDK ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I think any tech or media which resembles or from 70s or 80s fit this community. Feel free to post what you think is though.

        There were a lot of non-Commodore monitors marketed alongside the Amiga. This isn’t one of them.

      Possibly they meant the separately purchased monitor was compatible with base unit.

        Likely this. Some monitors that would work on the Ami wouldn’t work in all it’s modes. This did. I had the 1084S which added stereo speakers I think.

          This is correct. Those separate square bullet points are just for the monitor.

          Isn’t very clear though. So it does read like the Amiga 500 is fully compatible with the Amiga 500…
