MorphOS and old demos & games

[eden188]

Hi all,
 
Sorry if this question has been asked before, but I want to buy a Powerbook to run MorphOS, but before convincing myself, I wanted to know how compatible (if at all) that MorphOS can run all the Amiga demos (old and new), and it would be a bonus if it can run some of the games as well.
 
Thanks in advance.

Thank you ever so much XDelusion for the informative reply, I wish I can give you kudos for that.
 
I have lost touch with the Amiga for at least 20 years and only recently decided to go retro again and relive my younger days.
 
I have actually bought myself a good A1200 off eBay recently, but since then read that I need additional memory/accelerator to run WHDLOAD in order to run the older games/demos. Looking at the cost of these upgrades (between £70 - £125, memory/accelerator), I thought I might spend that money instead on a Mac mini or Powerbook instead and run MorphOS, hoping it will run the old demos/games, but I also want a dab at the native apps for MOS.
 
I may still go down the route of MOS since I already have an A1200, although just standard 2Mb, I think it will do the job.
 
Once again, many thanks.

Thanks, I might consider a memory upgrade if I come across a cheap one.
