Questions about the A1200, please help!

[godspeed]

 Hi all, nice to meet you. I was an Amiga 500 owner and im about to receive a bog standard Amiga 1200 from a friend who doesent use his.

Now it doesent have a HDD, CD rom drive or any goodies, its just a plain A1200. Correct me if im wrong but that wont have an operating system will it? just workbench on floppy disk?

Exactly what do i need to get it up and running with Amiga OS? what goodies etc do i need?

Many thanks  :-D

Oh and can i get any PD games for it?? like the ones i used to get from magazines? and wheres the best place to get games? :-D

(and no i dont wanna use an emulator!) :-)

I take it ill need a CD rom drive as well to get OS on it? this is going to be costly!

so i can get PD games of google? and how do i get this onto my Amiga

thanks  8-)

Those Assasins disk look just what im after, but arnt they all in ADF ??I have nearly all the Amiga 1200 games on ADF but its just not the same running WINUAE. The whole process of downloading games on your pc and getting them on a disk for an Amiga seems eternaly impossible! :-?

Also, can you run Amiga 500 games on a 1200? so many questions i know :-)

Thanks man, i was beginning to think i was sad for not wanting to use an emulator, i hate them!! grrrr

The real dilema is, i spent a couple years gathering together all the games i used to love in ADF, but really dont like playing them on an emu. Wanted a real Amiga again and couldent get any games i wanted on it, madness!

My ultimate question is, can you get ADF's back onto a rea; Amiga with relitive ease, and if so how?

Many thanks to you all ;-)

Thanks man thats good advice. So if i put the ADF's on a disk, what format should the disk be?

Thanks again

[godspeed]

Oh and do i download ADF blitzer on my pc first?

[godspeed]
