I need some suggestions
« on: June 18, 2003, 01:44:23 PM »
Hello everyone,

i am thinking to return back again to the amiga world and the past 6 months i start reading and viewing the internet about Amiga.
I would like to ask your opinion about how to do this and what is the best.
I mean that i have seen in a lot of European Shops selling Amiga 1200 brand new in a very low prices (lets say www.vessalia.de has A1200 magic pack with 810MB Hdd only about 150 Euro). I also check the new Amiga 1 systems but i think they are a bit expensive (a price between 400 and 800 Euro will be the right one for a full system i bielive).

So all of you who already own an Amiga and you know your problems, your thoughts and of course what is going to happend in the future (or at least you can imagine) please advise me what is the correct "path" for me.
Buy an A1200 remember the old times and from time to time start the upgrade to tower and finally to PowerPC processors
or
Buy from the beggining an Amiga 1 system.

Oh if you can please inform me the Amiga 1 system as it is right now can play amiga older games/applications for Workbench until 3.1 lets say or this is going to happend only with AmigaOS 4 ?

Thank you in advance all of you and please try not to confuse me because i am already a lot of confused with all that.  :-)

I am living in Greece.
 Do you know that a used A1200 (without monitor without hdd and nothing else just the A1200) here in Greece costs about 100-150 Euros. I 've already checked that in newspaper and all of them are about the same 100, 120, 160, 130 etc. I think its a lot when you can buy a new one at 150 incl. ROMs 3.1 and a HDD but the used one is ussualy comes with a lot of software and some joysticks maybe.

By the way anyone knows if there still any joysticks availiable for amiga (i mean the old good ones :-) )
