The 1260 is an excellent piece of hardware. I
was really surprised at how fast games like
Quake were, even in crappy AGA. Retro Mac
emulation is also great with the 1260.
A 1230 though is the ultimate for playing
old games and software. You can also get
most things to work with the 1260, it just
may take a bit more work with some old games.
