welcome the Amiga world :-D  my advice is get a Blizzard 030@50 if you can find one....the difference in gaming and making music in OctaMED Sound Studio/sampling etc is astounding ;-)

So here you have them:

Classic Amigas: Amiga 500 -> 4000T + CDTV and CD32
Nextgen Amigas/Clones: AmigaONE + Pegasos.
Out of this world but still counting: AROS :- )

Classic Amigas runs AmigaOS upto 3.9 but can also run AmigaOS4 or MorphOS if PPC cards are added to A1200, A3000 or A4000 systems.

Nextgen Amigas/Cones are PPC computers that runs nextgen versions of AmigaOS. AmigaONE runs AmigaOS4, while Pegasos runs MorphOS.


Well, welcome anyway. As you can see, you have several options. Just dont fall into the gap by getting an Classic Amiga thinking it will run Quake III etc in great speeds.  

Thanks for the info.

When I get my hands on a nice 030/50 with 128mb ram I'll be running OS3.9 in the standard 1200 case.  After that I'll prob build a 1200 tower with a PPC and run OS4.0 classic.

Not into running Quake 3, more interested in working (and playing) AGA games at the moment. :-D

Yep, loads of us Aussies seem to be buying Amiga's at the moment...very strange  :-P

So you weren't even alive when the Amiga 500 came out, and you're getting into them now. That's way cool. There's something about 8-bit and 16-bit gaming. The game makers back then really had to economise and make the most they could with the little resources they had. Some of the artistry of 8 & 16-bit games is quite amazing. Just look at a game like Lemmings. To get a character like those little Lemmings out of an 8x8 pixel box is fantastic. Modern games just don't have the soul of the games of yesteryear, and the Amiga sported some of the best games of the era. Who needs texture mapping or 3D hardware? Give me Guybrush any day. :-D
