Returning to the world of Amiga
« on: March 20, 2007, 02:09:09 PM »
Hi all.
I recently moved house, and in the process, discovered at the back of my attic my old Amiga 500+.
I though I would see if it would still work and tried to hook it up to my TV. But alas, it seems to not work any more.

But it got me thinking - I would love to get back into Amiga. A quick scan on ebay shows there are many second-hand Amigas around, but I am uncertain what to get. I would love to have another A500+ so I could play all my old favourite games. But I would also like to try to experience a bit more of the Amiga. I would like to try to have an Amiga hooked up to my home network to use the internet and share files with my windows pc etc. Some research suggests that hooking up the A500+ is quite tricky to do due to a lack of hardware, but that the A600 or A1200 should be easy with some kit from AmigaKit.com

So what do you recommend? I would like to play my old A500+ software and games, but can I do this on an A600 or A1200?

I would appreciate any advice you can give.

Thanks
