To anyone who had an a1200 or a4000 and then maybe it croaked or you got a 500, 2000, 3000... Did you really miss aga?

My 1200 is gone, but sometimes I still think about getting something else.
500's are much more common and cheaper. I think I would enjoy doing the
addide upgrades and things too, but I'm wondering if I'd miss aga games and
aga demos that much?

I had a 4000D and a 1200 for a bit, nice machines but IMHO I don't miss them.  I didn't look into AGA games so there wasn't a draw to it.

All the games played are my kids educational ones and they all are OCS/ECS and an occasional entertainment one and I never got into the demo scene.

I have 2 3000D's and they for me have been perfect.  

Game playing aside, AGA, OCS, and ECS are way to slow for productivity.  Once I used a decent graphic card, I never went back to the chips for much.  A video card is the single fastest speed upgrade you can do to any Amiga.    

Do you use you Amiga for games and demos only?  Is there a AGA game that you would really want to play again?  Do you have a budget for this project?

Owning an Amiga these days has so much more to do with emotion that logic, so if you really want to try a different Amiga out this will be the time.

Good luck!
