As one of the people who went A500 to A1200, I was very please with AGA at the time.
Yes, there were some incredible OCS/ECS games, but I loved AGA.

And even now, when I look at some of the demos by TBL and such for AGA Amiga's with 060's, I think the problem was more processor than graphics....

It always amazes me when people look at a 1200 with an 030 running Doom, and blame AGA for it being pokey, when the same game running on a PC needed a 486 to actually move at a decent clip.
Exactly my point...

The big problem was that it cost much more to accelerate the Amiga..

I was able to buy a complete PC with a fast (at the time) 486 for less than the cost of the an accelerator for the 1200....
