    I crossed over from an Atari 800 to the Amiga. Jay did a good thing when he designed the 800's graphics. After seeing the Amiga 1000 in 1985, I was not impressed with the Atari ST. I couldn't afford the 1000 but in 1988 I bought a used Amiga 500. It was the best investment I think I have ever made and I am still an Amiga nut to this day. I emulate an Atari 800 but I use an Amiga 3000!

    Cool, yeah. I remebered really wanting a A3000 but it was way out of my league as a lad. Even when the A4000 came out I STILL wanted the A3000, there just seemed to be pros and cons for each model............

    I'm sure Zetr0 has a CD32?

    That still leaves you with quite a few Amiga models still to collect though Zetr0

    A1000
    A500+
    A1500
    A2500
    A3000
    A3000T
    A3000UX
    A4000T
    CDTV
    CD32

    Plus
    A2000VT
    A3000VT
    A4000VT

    If you wanted to be completest.

    I would also say the A500+ is worth getting. Better built and much nicer in my view than an A600. OK you don't get the PCMCIA slot or the built in IDE port, but you do have the sidecar expansion port so can use all of the A500 expansions, plus you can expand the chip ram to 2MB the same as the A600, and add fast ram more easily.

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

    LOL! No worries there hah. Seriously though I love all the computers of that era, honestly I think all of them were interesting in thier own way and all had more personality then todays PC boxes. I never considered myself a "fanboy" or put any other platform down, it's all good!
