The A500 is not too slow to play Amiga games as most of them were written for the A500. It will also play most AGA games (I think) except it won't take advantage of the AGA features ie colour.
The 4 gig CF drive referred to on eBay does not as far as I can see have all those games on it. If it does then it is a bargain!
Also note that it is from the UK so all PAL. This has to be one of the most confusing auction pages I have seen. Ernie On 2015-02-21 8:26 PM, robert catherwood wrote:
You can get a CF card preloaded with the games already on it.

I heard that the 500 is not very expandable and the 1200 is the way to go but since NTSC 1200 seems to be hard to find I am thinking about the 600 since it has an IDE for a flash drive. Would appreciate some advice and if anybody is looking to sell. Thanks
