Amiga 500 1.3.2 with the RED Light!!!
Too bad I was young and fool, I trade her with an A2000.
But that didn't make me clever, I sold her too for an A1200

A500+ and I remember having to open the box in Comet to ensure I got a + model!
 
Loved the pack - Lemmings and DP III got most use.

I have since brought back the exact A500 with its original screen gems packaging. Its the green light version that I remember.
 
My other A500 however has the Red light. What's the difference?
 
Thanks

Odd the way this is worded. The First Amiga I used was an A1000, but my first Amiga was an A500 (then bought an A1000 setup two days later - go figure)
I still have an A1000 system (not my original) and a couple of A2000 systems.
A2000 GVP 40MHz \'030, 21Mb RAM SD/FF, 2 floppies, internal CD-ROM drive, micromys v3 w/laser mouse
A1000 Microbotics Starboard II w/2Mb 1080, & external floppy (AIRdrive)
C-128 w/1571, 1750, & Final Cartridge III+
