Yes, definitely. Will be getting an FPGAArcade for sure - I want to get back into bitmap graphics with PPaint and DPaint V, and also coding games (if I get the time).

It would be neat if the FPGAArcade had an RTG compatible screen mode - even if it's only a 256 colour chunky - or possibly graffiti compatible but I don't know too much about programming for that.

Indeed, an FPGAArcade at around £200 + case + PSU is well worth it for what it provides.

A Natami, if the 68050 performs as well as it is hoped to perform, will also be worth it for people that need higher performance out of their Amiga. A smaller market for sure, but the more powerful FPGA will cost more, and then there's the second FPGA on board as well.

Btw, case makers - make sure you leave space for a 2.5" hard drive in the Natami case designs!
