English Amiga Board - View Single Post - I never bought an accelerator or RAM card for my A1200

I met quite some Amiga users which didn't want any expansion in their Amiga 500 or 1200, because to them it didn't feel original or pure. Not even a harddisk in the A1200. In the early years like 1987/88 you could get a lot of PD games and also some commercial games that didn't need a slow memory expansion. Same with A1200, when it came out, you could get a lot of stuff for chip memory only. I also met people that refuse to play games on their CD³² that weren't originally published on CD for it. They won't use A1200 or A500 games to burn for it, no matter if they would work fine. This is some type of collector's fetish, I think you could say.
