What's your fav out of all Amiga models?
« on: April 28, 2011, 06:17:40 AM »
So just a general question, What is your personal favorite out of all the Amiga models? - Also, do you preferre the more "classic" like AOS versions or the newer AOS versions?

For me, the A1000 is my fav, being the first computer I ever used. AOS 1.3 was my main OS on it, it was expanded in 2 MB RAM with a side ram expansion back in it's prime.

I really loved my A1200 back in the day, because it was mine :D

Now I love my A4000, because it is mine! :D

I love me the classicOS - 3.1 is the top limit for me at the moment, although if I ever get a NIC and an RTG card and perhaps a zorram, or a 4060 expansion I am definitely going 3.9 maybe :D

The 1200. Its the one I had as a kid, and the one I have now :)

I fundamentally like something about all of them, but the 1200 is my baby.

The A2000. Sheer bulk, built like a tank, no SMD, expansion, expansion, expansion.
Life sucks. Then you die. Then they throw mud in your face. Then you get eaten by worms. Be happy it happens in that order... My Amiga 1200

Likewise mine is my A1200, yes I first owned an A500 but from that to the A1200 was a great leap [or felt like it]....and yes I love my A4000 because I've not long bought it.
A1200 all the way!

Very first Amiga I seen was my brother's Amiga 600, so I have a soft spot for it.... But my favorite is the Amiga 1200.

Though for the longest time I wanted an Amiga 4000.....

I still push around OS 3.0 since thats the roms that are inside my Amiga 1200.  Only things I throw on it is magicwb and MUI for the GUI enhancements.

THEN: My many many A2000s.  I had, like six of them, at one time and each one was some sort of crazy creation.  I loved all the space  they had for expansion.  Funny thing is I made MORE space with a good ole dermal also!

NOW: My DiscreetFX blessed A4000T.  It is my second A4000T and  I plan on doing MORE to it than I did before!  I love making Hacks and the like...  OI!  Just thinking about it makes me want to get home and do some cool stuff!

My favourite is the Amiga 1200. Even though the Amiga 500 was the first I got, I'll never forget the day when I purchased the 1200. I'm still using an Amiga 1200 today with all kinds of extras. ;)

Too difficult to answer, is it the A500 my parents bought me for xmas in 89 or the A1200 I saved hard for and bought myself on launch day in 92?

Or is it the A3000 I listed after for it's technical brilliance and sleek looks and finally bought last year?

Or perhaps it's my maxed out A4000/060/PIV/Deneb?

Or even the A1200/BPPC/Mediator/Voodoo 5500 beast that I regret selling a few years ago.

I can't choose! :(

Another A1200 fan here, big jump from my brothers Spectrum to this, it was just so god dam cool to finally own my own computer and the fact i could usally out do my PC owning freind (for a short while). I really wish I had more money back then to buy more programs and learn some of stuff that was out their that I now know about.

I have to say my Favorite was the A2000.  Up until I got an A1200.
I luv the elegance of the A1200.  If only they had wireless joysticks and mice back then.

A3000 and A4000.

The A3000 is basically the pinnacle of development with the least amount of cut corners.

The A4000 is the best AGA machine.

Amigas without true Zorro III slots are not worth my time.

Between those two, I would choose the A4000 if expansions are allowed (Indi AGA, CSmk2/3 060 + SCSI) and the A3000 if they should be kept stock.

Incidentally, I have both kinds of machine, the A3000 has as much motherboard and Zorro II RAM as possible + a network card, the A4000 has the turbo + scsi + indi aga and a network card. :-)

Since AGA is the shit I'd say it's a race between only 3 contenders realy: A1200, A4000 and CD32. The CD32 loses before we start as it requier extremly expencive hardware to even get it to where it's a usable Amiga computer instead of just a game machine and still you're miles away from making it look like a computer... also it reminds me too much of C='s failure. My fav Amiga is then a close race between the A1200 and A4000. A1200 low cost and easy to move around, A4000 for better expansion options... I think I'll say the A4000. :D
