Get ClassicWB GAAE or 68K and you will get a good set of basic needed software.
You can use WHDLoad and most one floppy games will run fine also alot of 2-3 floppy games will run and if it wont run for memory reasons remove the Preload line to get more multidisk games running.

Yes you are right, i have it and it runs fine both on Amiga 600 and 2000 and, and many thanks for your help with preload option many more games run now. that preload must use quite some memory.

Your welcome lassie, im just glad to help I myself can run quite alot on a stock 1200 when tweaking some with WHDLoad, loading alot of floppies to memory takes it's toll
Just saw that my ACA-1231 is shipped so next week I will have some fun

Yes you are in for some fun its always nice to get some new stuff

Yes and I can't wait, I want it now  I will setup a nice ramdrive and punch WHDL games from it and play around alot!
I had two accelerator cards as options when I decided to upgrade my poor 1200, since I wanted a 030 card and the two I could get my hands on without trouble was the ACA-1231 or a Blizzard 1230-IV 50MHz with FPU and 16MB memory.
I picked the ACA for the endless memory, MMU, it's new so I hope it holds together longer.
The loss of FPU is nothing im worried about since I wont need it to often on my 1200 so the pros weights out the cons for me

Edit: I will start a project thread when all stuff arrives, stuff from amigakit is still on pening (ordered the same day but versalia always seems faster for me) and some other stuff from other places are on it's way.

Could be very cool with that thread i have never had an Amiga 1200, but i want one but i have to save some money up first

Ill recomend some programs not mentioned, If you like making music I can recomend Pro Tracker, if you want to compose note by note try Appetizer since it runs fine from floppy, the music program in Appetizer is quite ok and super easy to learn (im no music maker wiz so for me it was ok), if you like to make some 3D images command style why not give PovRay a chance, I would say version 2 would run fine on your machine, version 3 has a non FPU build but it's painfully slow.



Thanks I hope it will be nice to read/look at, I like the 1200 since it's quite expandable even tho it's a wedge and it got decent hardware [/QUOTE

I am sure it will be a nice read have you found a cheap Amiga 2000 yet?
