You know what you are asking?
This is exactly what you are asking "Will Amiga 500 games run on an Amiga 500? I am thinking about buying an Amiga 500 in a desktop case. Will this work?"
I do know what to answer to that question, except....."Duh! Like ya man! No duh!"
Sorry...did not mean to go in that direction.
Amiga 2000 specs:
Amiga OS 1.2/1.3 or 2.0
CPU
Motorola 68000 @ 7.16 MHz (NTSC) 7.09 MHz (PAL)
Memory
1 MB (9 MB maximum)
Amiga 500 specs:
CPU
Motorola 68000 @ 7.16 MHz (NTSC)
7.09 MHz (PAL)
Memory
512 kB (9.5 MB maximum)
Amiga 500 specs:
880 kB floppy disks
Operating system
AmigaOS v1.2~1.3
Tell me if by any chance Amiga 500 will not work on Amiga 2000? Amiga 2000 is nothing more than an Amiga 500 placed in a desktop case for people who wish to expand their Amiga 500 without going through expensive case hacking and hardware hacking. In short, Amiga 500 is nothing more than Amiga 2000 but stripped off the ability to expand it for cheaper cost and sale and directed for gaming consumption in general. Where as Amiga 2000 is really the original Amiga 500.
And Amiga 600 is a child born by mistake by the parents. It should have never being made period. And Amiga 4000D/A4000T is a disappointment because they stripped off the VGA supoort and limited it to 2 MB chip RAM. I think Amiga 1200 AGA should have being limited to 2 chip RAM and Amiga 4000D/A4000T should have being given at least 16 MB of CHIP RAM or 8 MB of CHIP RAM expandable to 16 MB of CHIP RAM to be a more appealing DESKTOP computer and it will make sense for A1200 to have 2 MB of CHIP RAM for gaming consumption.
