Amiga Games are best on Amiga 500.

If you just want to play Amiga games the best choice is Amiga 500 with gotek fdd emulator.

Gotek is cheap and always works.

FPGA emulators such as FPGA arcade, minimig, mist will never be as good as the original Amiga 500.

FPGA emulators are waste of time and money.

The same is also true with the Amiga 1200.

AGA games were craps.



For productivity software the best choice is of course the PowerPC Amiga.

x86 solutions such as AROS are not compatible with the Amiga.

68k Amigas are too slow.

Especially graphics that 68k amigas have is ridiculously slow.

The PowerPC processors are fully compatible with 68k.

Binary translation used on PowerPC Amiga is very different from the full system emulation as in the uae.

68k and PowerPC code share the same space and data.

For the user, this means that he does not feel any difference between 68k and PowerPC applications.

Plus, the graphics on the PowerPC is faster than the fastest PC with WinUAE.

For the developer, this means that it can use the old 68k code in the new PowerPC software, as easy as PowerPC code.

Most of the productivity software works on the new better Amigas.

Some poorly written applications will not work on the new better Amigas.

In my opinion, PowerPC Amigas deserve more to be called Amiga than AGA crap which Commodore produce in 1992-1994.

I really regret that I did not buy a new better Amiga earlier.

I bought Amiga 1200 in 1993.

Amiga 1200 was worth nothing underpowered overpriced crap.

Because AGA had no chunky pixel, AGA was 24 times slower than SVGA card for 386 PC.

In 1993, for the price of Amiga 1200 I could buy 386 which was many times faster than Amiga 4000.

Amiga 1200 was waste of time and money.

I really regret money spent on crap made by Commodore.

Today Amigas are not as good as the amiga 500 of course.

They are not even as good as those produced in 2003.

Even so, today Amigas  are far better than the Amiga 1200.

The biggest problem with 68k is obviously very slow graphics.

AGA is pathetically slow, Zorro II with bandwidth 3.5 MB / s barely keep up with the 386 SVGA, and Zorro III with a bandwidth of 13.5 MB / s barely keep up with the 486 VLB cards.

If you want to use productivity software, Amiga 68k is really a waste of time and money.

If someone really wants to have great compatibility and feeling of Amiga 500 games, can buy Amiga 500 with Gotek.
