Whats the best gaming Amiga?

Am I right in think theres something like 100 time more OCS/ECS amiga games than there are AGA?

so does that make a A500/500+/600 a better gaming machine than the A1200? or can you get most OCS etc games to work on a A1200?

I would say the A1200 is better. You can get most of the OCS/ECS games workin on an A1200, although some may require 1.3 bootdisks etc.

A1200 with WHDLoad - or an A500. Both excellent.

A1200, with 030 card, about 8Mb of RAM and a hard disk.

Install all your games with WHDLoad.. you'll find a lot of them will work even if they didn't before the were WHDLoaded.

Almost instant loading, you can quit and load another one easily, and it runs on the real hardware. Perfect Amiga games machine.

Gotta be the trusty A500 - with 1 meg upgrade of course

The A600 had too many problems with compatability with many older games not working, thats why I'm sticking with the A500

Technically the 1200 is better for gaming as it is more powerful, has better gfx resolutions etc..

The 500 was better supported and was around longer (before commodore went wlyy-up!) hence why there are more games and they are better because publishers had longer to develop the machine and Commodore supplied technical and harware details. With the 1200 the AGA chipset was a mystery and all its features were not easily found etc.. so developers wouldn't know to add this feature or that etc..

thanks for the response guys

so basicly if you gonna use original disks an OCS (500) machine is best
but if you gonna download stuff then an AGA (1200) machine is great

and the ECS machines? 500+ 600? not that useful?

I can´t tell, which one is the best, but I know which is the worst. CDTV definetely.

The CDTV wasn't made to be a games machine, is was meant to be a multimedia entertainment system.. It failed for 2 simple reasons!

1). It was far too expensive
2). Far too ahead of its time.. If it had come out 1yr later, was priced aggressively and the OS was Kick2+ it would have stood a better chance of success!!

The worst (gaming) Amiga amiga would surely be the 500+.. Released without telling anybody and so many old 1.2/1.3 games simply didn't work!!
