Anyone recommending an emulator over a real Amiga is gonna get electrodes attached to their nipples and 10,000 volts!

:griping:

Hey, the A3000's scandoubler/flicker-fixer... is it 8/8/8 on all guns? My EZ-VGA on the A1200 only gives me 16-Bit colour as opposed to 18-Bit AGA capability.

True, a big box Amiga - particularly with a GFX card is going to be nicer than a stock AGA system. Why not have both I say!

:-D

I am actually in the middle of turning my A3000 in to a power machine. I just picked up a cybervision 64 and now just need an accelerator: My A3000 will just be for professional stuff.

There are  lot of good points and I think I should get one just for nostalgia and then pick up a few games, but first I must get an 060 card.

My A500 is perfect for games right now ;)

I read in an other post that sdyates has a 3000 and his signature says he also has an upgraded 2000. You can make perfect WHDLoad machines from those.

He will has to miss on some great AGA titles (and demos but that's not really my thing) mentioned here, but are these enough to justify getting a 1200? Bear in mind that to comfortably use WHDLoad he would also need an accelerator in the 1200 too...

YES Get a A1200!!  I recently got one for $20.  AGA games rock the boat.
