Look into the MiniMig if all you want is to play games.  You'll still need an old Amiga to convert all of the disks to a format that the MiniMig can use.

Otherwise an A1200 is a worthwhile addition to your collection since you can typically run most of the old games using WHDLoad to install them to a hard drive.

It sounds like you need to visit the WHDLoad website and see what their system has to offer.  It not only installs old floppy-based games to the hard drive, it also is able to patch many of them for AGA chipset compatibility.

You might check with AmigaKit to see if they have any A1200s in stock.  They're a good reseller.
