Yeah, the A1200 was too little, too late. Software support for AGA games was a big question mark back then, only a fraction of Amiga games used the new graphic chipset and not every AGA game was available both for A1200 and Amiga CD32. The A600 a few months earlier also was a confusing model... not better and not cheaper than a good old A500 (or A500+) and a lot worse than the A1200. |
Yeah, way too little, too late - I mean, it was not bad, but AGA was not AAA that supposed to go into it, and 68020 was not 68030, and by the time A1200 released the future of home computers was fairly obvious.
I mean, I vividly remember by the end of A500, playing Frontier: Elite II and loving it, but it was quite a slide show on many occasion, and thinking A1200 would run this fine, and almost going for it...but as I said, seeing both Wolfenstein 3D and Comanche on my friends PC (and then in '93 Doom and Star Wars: X-Wing) was more than enough to firmly convince me where the future is.
