AGA games: Is it worth getting an A1200?

[Flashlab]

If you just want upgrade for AGA games I think it's not really worth the trouble...

Especially since you have a 2000 and 3000!

Sigh... allow this "idiot" to explain. As my sig states I have an A4000, which is, my DEAR Laser, an AGA machine.

It's just my OPINION that getting a 1200 solely for playing a very few games that require AGA is a bit silly. There are really very few games that run on a vanilla 1200 that don't run on 500. Most AGA games even have OCS/ECS versions that are almost the same except for graphics with fewer colours.

And Laser, you really need to learn some manners. Is this the way you talk to family and friends too?

"Hey idiot! Pass me drink!!"

I read in an other post that sdyates has a 3000 and his signature says he also has an upgraded 2000. You can make perfect WHDLoad machines from those.

He will has to miss on some great AGA titles (and demos but that's not really my thing) mentioned here, but are these enough to justify getting a 1200? Bear in mind that to comfortably use WHDLoad he would also need an accelerator in the 1200 too...
