Favourite Amiga

Yeah, this post its in Amiga Classic Games, wrong Subforum

Anyway, i dont know why some people here talk about A1, or others, i think here is talking about Amiga Classic models..

I can`t decide on just one Amiga Model, but

A1200 - More productive - has future vision - unfortunately did not improve the sound - Upgrade
A1000 - Was the first!
A2000 - More options to expand
A4000 - Same A2000, but AGA and IDE Conectors
A500 - Most Amiga Popular Model
A600 - The Size - Its really nice
CDTV - Very Rare Home Entertainment Console
CD32 - Game Console - Not much support - Was nice Game Console
A3000 - never caught my attention

My first Amiga was the 500, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

However, my favourite Amiga is the 1200. I think it trumps the 500 because of its huge expansion potential.

AH

My first Amiga was an A1000. That's the one that gives me the best nostalgic feelings.

Now I need to add the Sam to this list...

My favorite Amiga is the A1200. I'm hoping that the NatAmi MX will replace it someday though.

Maybe someday I'll find enough desk space to set up my MicroA1 and A1200. It's a pity to have to be stuck on only mainstream computers most of the time.

sticking to classics:

1- my 1200 with Blizzard 030@50
2- my 500 with A590

I lusted for a 4000 back in the day but alas I was only a poor student back then & never got around to buying one even today..maybe when I finally finish my basement one day

Favorite had to be the 2000, followed by the 1000 and 1200.
Is that too many? My 1200 finally died in 2006 after selling the rest of them and had to get the A4000T. Really have packed it with memory, USB, X-surf card, 3 hard drives and a Cybervision card. I did the most with the earlier models but still have plans to push the A4000T.
No plans for the newer models since they lack the software blitz the old ones still enjoy. If they think of OS4 for the classic and some new accelerator for an A4000T I'd have to push it. Quite a box the Amiga, too bad some Brilliant mind like Jobs or Gates did not mastermind it. They might have ruined it. Kind of cult the Amiga.

welcome aboard

My first Amiga: A500 (1.3)
My most expanded Amiga: A1200(Extra RAM and battery backed Clock), I'm not very adventurous.
My current machine: Sam 440
My Favourite: My next one, whatever it is.

Here's to the future.

When I got back to Amiga I first refurbished my A2000 but I also saw an A1200 on ebay which came with several WHDloads pre-loaded on the HD.
I seriously thought about it, but then visited Pianeta2009 and decided I wanted to try NG first (postponing the 1200 purchase).

Time has passed and I feel no need for a classic anymore. if you happened to read my GUIDE you already know it's because I found a classic hiding inside my NG, and I now feel i have both all rolled into one.

So Amiga NG for me, a true 360 degree Amiga experience.

@ DAX

+1 with regard to NG miggies (btw, thanks again for that great write up & also to Simone for glUAE & Chris for RunInUAE!) but I just love fiddling/ hacking along with my classics from time to time because I have the space in my house fortunately.

Depends on what you want to use.

More versatile uses nowdays, A1200/A4000

For Games using Floppy Disks, the A500

For Classic Aplications maybe A2000/A3000

For Collectors, A1000 / A600 / CDTV / CD32

This is a very difficult question to answer.

However, just like many people have a soft spot for their first car (or girlfriend ) I would have to choose the Amiga 2000 which was my first Amiga.

OK it may not have been technically the best machine but it was my first Amiga experience.

My A2000('s) - I like the tank like design and I like it's ability to be expandable.
