You know if the A1200 had Akiko it would've made 3d games easier to run for the many users who just had RAM cards, 28 mhz '020 or even slower '030, meaning many people could play them out of the box.

I am pretty sure that is inaccurate.

The Akiko was invented as an alternative to (at the time) expensive FastRAM not CPU power.

Add just some FastRAM to an AGA Amiga and becomes as fast if not faster to use the EC020 than to use an Akiko.
