6mb enough for games?

>> would 4mb of extra ram make a big difference?

If you possibly can I would try and get a 1230, ideally a Blizzard with a few megs of ram with it. It turns the 1200 into a really handy machine and with WHDLoad is pretty much the optimal setup for running classic games.

Also for Wing Commander I strongly advise you to get the CD32 version and run it with the excellent WCPatch from Aminet, it speeds things up a lot as well as correcting some bugs. There's a couple of reviews documenting the differences on the Amiga Games Database.

Also, if you like this kind of game my personal favourite is Star Crusader (also reviewed) well worth a look.

>>but it would be morally the right thing to do. Thanks for >>the advice.


And it ought to be fairly easy to pick up too because at one point it given away with the CD32 making it pretty common.

Its 3D, but aren't all the craft sprite based and therefore not quite as cpu demanding as polygons - at least in theory?
