Bored.... want to buy another Amiga, help decide...

[Paul_s]

Is it me or the more you start collecting Amiga computers the more models of them you want?!

So without further a do please vote! Anything not on the list is either because I have it or don't want it!

I thank you

[P-J]

I think it's fair to say this should be in 'off-topic'.

I wouldn't mind an A4000 with Video Toaster to play with and see where the max. level of rendered 3D lies on the Amiga...

[Mick_AKA]

As you dont already have one, go for the 1200 you wont regret it

[StarEye]

I'm one of the few that loves the look and the small size of the A600. It's perfect as a games machine. 99% of the classics aren't AGA anyway, and with a decent harddrive and accelerator, it's an excellent games machine if sexed up with WHDload.

EDIT: on the other hand, it looks like you're missing an AGA Amiga, so I'd go for either the A1200 or A4000 (which I really really want). I say the A1200 'cause it's so damned sexy.

I did have a A1200 many moons ago (1994 iirc) but I sold her off a few years later in 98/99... I was thinking of a 1000 earlier tonight but it would probably be a PITA hardware wise/upgrading... hmmm 1200 is very tempting and loads of hardware bits flying around on fleabay...

edit: P-J - i think you're probably right!

edit2 : I do have a CD32 as well - so AGA is here too

[Avanze]

A1200, without question a beautiful piece of furniture.

[Zetr0]

for pure enjoyment

accept no substitue....


A1200!!!!!

the things that can be done via A1200 still amazes me to this day.

[Shoonay]

Im not even trying to be original... Get an A1200, the one and only!

[Paul_s]

well I think it's looking like a 1200 then! Thanks for the votes peeps

[quahappy]

Just to verify Paul_s....

A1200! Still got mine.... never will I be parted with it.

Oh, no. The 1000 is good to have on a shelf if you want a museum piece, you know, "just to have one". They are mostly useless for games, though. They go cheap typically.

I have a 600 and a 1200. The 600 has an HD in it, but I've never tried WHDload on it. Will it run stock?

Mine's awesome for 1.3 games. I have a hard drive and RAM upgrades for it and it works awesome. After 20+ years, still going strong.

Interesting... so it was Jack Tramiel who built Commodore, and it was Medhi Ali who destroyed it.

[boing_1000]

He's on my hitlist. He should be on every Amiga fan's hitlist.

[Zetr0]

@r.cade

WHD should run, but i do suggest more memory

you may find it wont run on games that are larger than 800kb in main memory

[Zetr0]

@Boing

i left the amiga scene in 97 whos this Medhi Ali you mention ?

He was the President of Commodore International appointed by Irving Gould in around 93 I think.

He made a lot of unpopular decisions which lead to the demise of Commodore.

If you watch the video that Dave Haynie made (deathbed vigil) it shows them actually burning a doll of Mr. Ali on a bonfire

[Dizzy]

You should start to collect stamps

4000...
