English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Was anyone else disappointed with the A1200?

When I upgraded from my original 500 to 1200...

build quality wasn't as good as the earlier 500

preferred WB 1.3 to 3.0 and the KS screen is way cooler on 1.0 than 2.0 onwards...

some of my older game titles didn't work (expected that though)

exclusive AGA titles weren't that much in number or major leap over their OCS/ECS counterparts

I did like the fact though that the 1200/AGA machines in particular were much easier to upgrade and less costly (that was my prime reason for upgrading).

But I still miss my original 500 more than any 1200/AGA machine.
