Firstly, Im mostly just bored and thinking aloud (or in text) here, I have no specific particular ideas or plans, Im mostly just interested in peoples thoughts.  I guess the crux of it all is me wondering just how many 680x0/classic/amithlon/heavy uae, etc users there are still ? Personally my main used "amiga" system is amithlon, but I do still have a strong interest in actual classics too (of which I have no working machine atm unfortunately). The main reason I ask is out of curiousity towards how much money there is in this portion of the amiga pie ? Not that I expect anythone to get rich from it, but, for example are bounties for os3.x/68k software/features/etc. feasible? Bounties arent the be all/end all solution, but they have done some good for the other amiga systems. I know there's a few things Id like for os3.x. Im also curious as to what sort of sales a (hypothetical) good, commercial/commercial quality new 68k amiga game might generate? Again I know no-one is going to get rich, but would, say, 100 copies be feasible ?
I know other routes are considered "the future of amiga", but I still enjoy os3.x/68k amiga systems and it would be nice to get some nice new "big" software/features from time to time.

I'm a heavy OS3 user! I'm addicted and need my fix for several hours a day. :p

Bounties IMO are a good idea, but how successfull they will be depends on the number of active OS3.x/M68k developers there are with sufficient time to do the coding. There are lots of OS3.x users but not many active developers.

My tuppence worth.

I would pay or contribute 100$ for an ibm extended ansi capable telnet application for os3.x...
 
As far as I know, there is none, only regular ansi, not ibm extended ansi.
 
Tradewars looks like poop on my amiga.
 
There is tons of telnet bbs systems still around on telnet, and that would be a great thing to do on your amiga but it looks like shit without the support for ibm extended ansi.
 

 
As far as natami, I stopped watching it because I don't think they will ever finish anything, but I still hope.

+1 from me too. Big OS3.x user and these days, digging 3.1 more than 3.9!

I use OS3.9 all the time - but I'm mostly an apps user not a gamer.  So I'm interested in any "productivity" software or utilities.

Cammy that is a work of art. I too like many it seems have decided that running OS3.1 is better overall than 3.9 . Just bought the developer cd 2.1 so I should be coding soon for the Amiga myself. I do a little php etc, so "how hard can it be??!?!"
