This is well worth the small asking price in my humble opinion, to show how great the Amiga STILL IS. If you’ve never used an Amiga, you may very well be surprised at how fast everything is, and how much you can do that you may not have thought possible. If you used an Amiga back in the day, you will love this. To say I’m impressed would be an understatement. Here it detected that there were updates, so I clicked the Download Now! button to get them.Īfter a quick and painless process of downloading the updates, we are now free to explore what AmiKit X has to offer. The first thing AmiKit X does now is to connect to the internet if available, so you can make sure all the Amiga software is up-to-date. Workbench looks so modern and beautiful with AmiKit X. In short, I strongly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in the Amiga, and I think the asking price is extremely reasonable, considering the amount of work that has gone into making this such a stable, fast and beautiful system, with plenty of software, from Games to Internet access applications pre-installed, with additional plug-ins available from: (scroll down the page). I personally see it as proof that the Amiga platform is still a viable choice for many computing tasks, it shows what can be done when building on what the Amiga team gave the world. It shows just how far ahead of it’s time the Amiga software design really was, as this is built upon the basis of Kickstart 3.1, and shows what could be done on a real, suitably expanded Amiga machine. For this review, I used an Amiga 1200 Kickstart 3.1 ROM and an ISO image of Workbench 3.9ĭo you remember when, instead of tiny, imperceptible, incremental improvements, a new computer got you huge leaps forward, with things taking much less time to achieve? Do you remember when computers were FUN?ĪmiKit X is basically a package of software to run on your ‘modern’ Windows, Macintosh or Linux machine, which provides you with a comprehensive Amiga setup, including many modern Amiga applications. Both the ROM image and Workbench 3.9 are available as part of the Amiga Forever package from Colanto, available at. It requires both an Amiga 1200 Kickstart 3.1 ROM image, and a valid source of Amiga Workbench 3.5 or 3.9. AmiKit can be acquired for what is a very reasonable price from and is highly recommended.

Full disclosure here, the author of AmiKit X supplied a review copy of the full AmiKit X package for review purposes to The Amiga Museum.
