Introduction
Lemon Amiga was founded and created by me, Kim Lemon, a 29 year old young man from Sweden. Work began on May 6 2004, and my goal was to create an interactive and high quality games archive combined with a friendly community.

Lemon Amiga is a sister site to the Commodore 64 site Lemon64, which I launched in the summer of 1998. Commodore 64 and Amiga were both amusing elements in my childhood, and I made these sites with most enthusiasm.

So, who is Kim Lemon?
I live with my girlfriend Maria in a smaller town on the Swedish east coast.

I work in the Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) business, which means that I help customers to get their websites ranking higher on search engines such as Google. It's basically a modern form of marketing.

My interests include watching documentaries, and the more extreme the subject is, the more interesting they get. I also like science, which is why I subscribe to a science magazine and enjoy watching Discovery Channel.

Another of my interests is cooking, especially together with my girlfriend. I'm a bit experimental in the kitchen and I'm not afraid of trying new things without following any recipe. I'm also vegetarian, both for health and animal right reasons.

Speaking about cooking, these days I also bake my own snus* in the oven, mainly because the Swedish government has put extreme taxes on tobacco.

I don't play Amiga nor C64 games much these days. I guess it's because I'm a bit damaged from grabbing 29370 screenshots for the 3357 games on Lemon Amiga. Whenever I play Amiga games on my own I feel like I'm working. However, I still enjoy playing multi-player games with friends. Bubble Bobble in two-player mode and tours in Worms and Slamtilt are great fun!

I have always been a very creative person. I used to paint and draw, but unfortunately I don't do this on paper any more as my creativity has, for some reason, completely moved into my computer. For that reason I sometimes wish that computers never existed.

When it comes to music I'm not stuck in any particular genre. I listen to anything from country and lo-fi indie to oi punk and ska. Some of the bands (links go to YouTube videos) I like are The Moldy Peaches, 4 Promille, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Lars Fredriksen and the Bastards, Adam Green, Heavy Trash, Johnny Cash and NOFX.

Some of you probably expect me to be a devoted listener of Amiga MODs or C64 SID-tunes, but that's not for me.

People sometimes ask me if Kim Lemon is my real name. Well, yes it is, no matter how strange it may sound to you. If you want to know more about me, take a look at my interviews in the gamesTM and RetroGamer magazines.

*Snus is a moist powder tobacco product that is consumed by placing it under the upper lip for extended periods of time.

Recipe
Recipe for creating Lemon Amiga
Creating a site like this on my own required quite extreme conditions, a burning interest and a very strong will. For those who plan to build something similar without giving up halfway through, I recommend the following during the first year of development:

  • No job
  • No girlfriend
  • Lots of beer
  • Less time with friends

  • I lived this unbalanced life for about 1 year, and I don't regret a thing!
