Amiga Forever, A1200 or A4000 or A1?
« on: December 04, 2004, 05:32:49 PM »
I'm thinking about getting into Amiga again...

I think I can raise $200-$600 depending on what items I sell on eBay...

I want to mainly play classic games and browse the web and use IRC, as well as run a telnetable BBS.

Should I get a real classic Amiga?  Such as A1200 or A4000, if so, which one?

Should I get an A1 motherboard?  I can probably scrape together most of the other parts.  But will I be able to play most A500 games with OS4?

Or should I just go cheap and stick with Amiga Forever but get a little better PC for it?

Thanks,

Neofree

Hmm.. Was thinking of getting an Amiga 4000/040 with 16-32MB RAM and a Picasso compatible display.  Wouldn't that be the equivilant of what UAE can do anyway?  Couldn't I get that for $250 or so?

Thanks,

Neofree

This is what I'm talking about:

And man do I wish I could get this one now!  Looks pretty complete.  But gotta sell stuff first.  :(
