@Hyperspeed: IIRC 'No Flicker' screenmodes require AGA, for sure,
Can't remember about Mode Promotion...seem to recall an
option for it under WB3.1

-Edit- Just ckecked my OS3.1 Workbench book....
Both Mode Promotion and NoFlicker modes require AGA

As for getting a 1200 just for games...I probably couldn't justify
it, though there are many good games for AGA, as mentioned.

If you can add a CD-Rom, then it gets better, IMHO. I installed
James Pond 3 from my CD using WHDLoad...very cool
A1200's are nice, with 'Degraders' you can run far more games
than on an ECS machine....
If you start getting into other areas, graphics, demos, etc. you
will really value AGA...
I don't actually own any ECS machines anymore....

2x1200, 1x1200T/060, 1xA4000/040, 1xCD32...
