What is your favourite amiga model?
« on: March 09, 2004, 04:38:01 PM »
I own an Amiga 500+, but a few years ago i kept wishing that I owned an amiga 1200 because all the demos I got only worked on that machine. So what is your favourite amiga model?

Another thing I wish I had all those years ago was a CD32. They looked fantastic!

Amiga 3000 series without a doubt.

I've had 500, 1200, 2000, 2500, 3000, 3000t, 4000.  

Sadly I'm ebaying my last 2 3k's in the next couple of weeks  :-(  After that I will have no Amiga Hardware left...

That would have to be the humble A1200, for the reason that it's so damn expandable. Virtually every single hardware limitation had been overcome with some extremely clever hardware like the Mediator PCI, PPC accelerators, Power Flyer cards that work around the slow on board IDE interface, replacement parallel/serial ports, USB...  The list is seemingly endless.

The A1200 is certainly not without it's faults but for me it epitomises everything about the so called community spirit that makes twelve year old Amigas still useable today.

Runners up would have to be the original A500, simply because it was my first Amiga followed by the A3000 because it was the most complete Amiga ever made IMHO.

The "Commodore Amiga".

Without it you'd all be ranting about how cool your Mac's are...

I have to say the A1200, merely because of the number of hours I've dedicated to mine.
I've always wanted to own a CD32 and an A3000, and thanks to eBay, the former is on its way to me :-D
(So far I have 2 x A1200, CD32 Spectacular Voyage pack, A600 all boxed. Trying to get one of every Amiga model)

Favorite Amiga model???
I love them ALL so much!
Kind of like picking your favorite child:


500(+) kept the gaming revolution alive
600 proved that commodore could put good things in small packages
1000 Started it all, the wellspring from which all flows!!
1200 The most currently made add-ons support this one
2000(2500) Big, expandible, and MANLY!!
3000(T) First 32 bit clean Amiga and FLICKER FIXER!!!
4000(T) Like a 1200 on steroids!!
CDTV Defined a set top multimedia market that didn't esist yet!
CD32 "World's first 32 bit games console" add FMV for REAL fun!


I could never choose a favorite, I want them ALL!!!

My favorite Amiga is an Amiga 1200 and cd32. The CD32 was the first game console with 32-bits power.

Now you're playing with AGA-power!

Now I have 2 A1200's. If I had some cash I properly buy another A1200.

I also like my CDTV which I got it free from a friend and the Amiga 2000.
