I've lost the source to all my Amiga stuff from back in the day. Perhaps I'm weird though, but I can remember most of the projects I'd got near completion, or was in the middle of and still interested in... and I can guarantee that if I sit in front of AMOS Pro, DevPac, MonAm and SAS/C that I can recreate most of it from memory.

I'd got a breakout clone in AMOS Pro, a BBS that I'd started in C and was translating to ASM (everything to be kept in RAM instead of loading from disc like every other BBS, so it would be fast), a dual-chat BBS door written in Amiga E (for DayDream BBS), a cracktro style thing done in ASM with a few basic effects and music, a fairly feature-complete paint program done in AMOS which was then entirely useless when AGA came along, a patch for the speedup patch for Alien Breed 3D 2 that let you patch the cracked version (the original patch didn't because it failed the checksum)... this was my first real use of MonAm to step through someone else's code.

God. I loved my Amiga. Sob.
