Classic Amiga (as a hardware platform) has some good ol' games.

As an operating system AmigaOS is rather limited and outdated: No memory protection, no resource tracking, no POSIX stuff. Due to this AmigaOS lacks some important software, such as decent web browser, office suite and so on.

Anyhow, if you want to take a look, there is a relatively cheap way to do it (AmigaForever includes legal licensed AmigaOS files, and there are various way to use them. With linux system you can for example boot from the CD directly, or use E-UAE with the included OS files)
