If you want something that looks like an Amiga and runs non-AGA Amiga software but isn't an Amiga, and want to spend more money than it'd take to run UAE on your modern computer, then I suppose it's worthwhile. I think it's a really neat idea, and I'm impressed that someone built it, but I wouldn't buy one personally. If one was given to me for free, I'd probably use it for a week then never touch it again.
For me a big part of the Amiga experience is using the old hardware. Using an emulator (I've tried a few times) loses my interest after a day or two. When I no longer can use a real Amiga machine, I may fire up UAE for a game or two once every year or three, but pretty much at that point I'll be done with Amigas.
I guess my point is, nobody but you can say if it's worth your money to get one.
My thoughts exactly! for the same price as one, you can get just about any REAL Amiga , and not have to worry IF the thing will run the software. You don't have to worry about "Obtaining LEGAL ROMS" etc.
For roughly the same price, you can get 2 Amiga 500's a couple dozen games, Joysticks , Peripherals etc and still have enough left over for a copy of "Amiga forever" to run on your PC and beer money. Just plug in and go, no hunting for a case, ROMS and worrying IF it's going to actually run the program you want. :lol:
I guess if the price ever drops to less then an A500, it might be worth picking up.
