Need advice: A500 or A1200?

@ eliyahu

if you want to play newer games circa early 90's fps or rpgs than a basic 500 won't do but like others have said you can get the new ACA 500 from Individual computer which has had great reviews though i'd recommend buying a case for it as your kids might be tempted to mess and that could be quite costly.
AGA is nice but there is a very small amount of games that were AGA only.

personally I much prefer my 1200 over my 500 simply because it takes up less space on my desk & the expansions are endless.

...The Amiga 500 was my first Amiga, so I do of course like it a lot. It is not a bad purchase and you get a HUGE software library to explore, but... the A1200 can do most Amiga 500 stuff anyways.

Actuly the 1200 can run anything the 500 since whdload without ROM switchers etc (well with registering WHDLoad :-)

...I vote for an A500 too.   They are bigger, heavier and far more 'retro' than those newfangled A1200's.

i doubt the A500 can play your amazing ports though (at least not without a very good accelerator card and ram)
