- I agree with you, and think banging the AGA chipset is the way to go
- for certain things. I figure the A1200 will be the AGA game system...and
- above will be for more serious stuff. So I see games made moreless for
- the A1200 in mind. Its great, and sure beats an A500. I would rather
- have an A1200, than some i486 local bus SVGA, with SB-II. The main reason
- I would get the A1200, is thee CHIPSET! To get right down, its
- price/performance ratio, which is what I want the best!
-
- The A1200 will be awesome for 3-d games! It has a faster blitter, more
- colors, and can crunch numbers faster. Just the right elements for some
- vectorized game. I'm just getting use to coding on the Amiga in assemble,
- and the A1200 means alot to me. I'm glad C= released it, and hope they
- support well and try to get things going and advertise alot. I plan in
- the future hopefully to develope for it. I may be no expert now, but
- I'm young and think I have somewhat of a chance to make some decent stuff
- in the future.
-
- I next the step is to get use to the 68020 and use some of its extra
- features. Since I'm use to the 68000 only..heh..
-
- I hope to see some AGA HARDWARE REFERENCE MANUAL from
- Addison-Wesley..etc
- I just don't see why not. I guess they should wait a year or so untill
- there
- is some user base, then something like this may appear. By that time I
- hope to have an Amiga 1200.
-
- Face it CBM must try to make the Amiga 1200 a true 32-bit game computer
- if they want to be dominate in some markets in N.A. Entertainment,
- Education,
- and Multimedia are the main targets!
-
- Anyhow C'ya around, and its nice to see someone else has the same
- concerns
- as me.
