You'll also want to make sure to download Boing Bags 1 & 2 (at a minimum) and (optionally) 3/4, which are basically like Service Packs for Windows. ;)


Similar, but with 2,976,444 less files than a Windows service pack.

They do, for modern HD content, but NOT for the Amiga.

Noone can tell as they're all watching this video on LCD's lol.

Seriously though, CRT's are loads better for games. There's no competition really. CRT still wins even with its video cable tied behind its back.

Thank you all for your input.

Am I right in thinking I would only see the full benefit of  OS 3.9 in all its high colour and fancy backgrounds on a LCD? I guess a 14 inch CRT wouldnt be able to offer that?

Is there much differnce between 3.5 and 3.9 OS?

I manily use my A1200 for games but I want to update the OS with a more refreshing look to it.


Some recent software requires OS3.9, but I'm still on 3.1 and not missing much AFAIK (I'm a purist lol). 3.0/3.1 can look every bit as good as 3.9 too if you're into Workbench tinkering.
