    Some games couldn't run on the Plus like Back to the Future 2 and NeverEnding Story 2. Having said that the Plus was still superior to the 500 and the 600.

    A1200 needed a couple of MegaBytes of FastRAM to reach it's potential. It effectively doubled it's speed. Without FastRAM it wasn't a great deal faster than an A500. If you didn't expand your A1200, you missed out.

    the A1200 was ruined by the CEO of Amiga announced the CD32, which a A1200 underneath would be getting a keyboard and mouse add on's making the A1200 redundant, so no one bought the A1200 waiting for the CD32 keyboard.............which didn't happen and ruined Amiga.

    • @flogjam
      @flogjam 3 дні тому

      nonsense. The A1200 was a 1992 release and the CD32 didn't come out until Sept/Oct 1993 - it was only on the market 6 months. The A1200 also got a re-release in 1995 by ESCOM. They were the same price - the A1200 was better value in 1993. I had the SX32 expansion for CD32 which came out in 1995, but CD32's were cheap in 1994 and 1995 and the later Escom A1200's were expensive, costing £100 more than in 1992. It was a turbulent time, but one I remember fondly. (Both very expandable machines and highly sought after today) - i've just bought a 50Mhz 68060 cpu for my A1200.............

    No don't ever apologise, the detractors and trolls won't approve your apology. 🤦‍♂I take it you got some harassment over the previous video? The Amico drama you must understand is a lot more nuanced that what you've been hearing from the detractors. The console has been mismanaged but part of the gaming community has been total control freaks over what you can and can't like. You have no idea the amount of harassment I've got over this and still do to this day. The people who wanted this to fail are really horrible people. Sure the CEO messed up but the community has been just as bad, if not worse! 😆

  • @pferreira1983
    @pferreira1983 22 дні тому

    The Amico was a great idea. The games I didn't really care for but the idea of how it was going to merge physical and digital media was the future of gaming. It could still come out and do all those things but it would need a miracle for everything to align which is just a shame. If the console doesn't come out someone else needs to take that idea about physical and digital media and make it happen so we can still buy some type of physical games in store in the future.
