Just before i put this on eBay, comes fully boxed with all the necessary leads etc, and a mouse. Currently there are no games or instruction booklets, but i am waiting on these, as the console was recently given to me to be sold, and this person is still looking for them. So how much would i be looking to get for it, with or without games?? Cheers in advance...

The emulation is spot on, replicating Workbench 3.0, the same OS I used when I had an A1200. The problem is getting the image files required to run most games and apps, as most have ceased CD duplication, and I've disposed of all my Amiga CDs since. Of course, most came on floppies - but it doesn't help when I don't own one.
Having said that, there is Aminet, the biggest online resource for the Amiga.

There is, but the situation is rather dire. Last year, Hyperion released Heretic on the A1200; past big titles have also been released long after the Amiga's "death"; but in the end, the output has been very low indeed. A new OS has finally been released though.

I think there are emulators that you can run on the Xbox, but you'll have to get it chipped I think.

Wow, someone who who used an Amiga other than for games! All my mates said in the past, "Didn't know the AMiga could use the net, etc." To be honest though, they weren't missing out on anything.

lcarus: You selling Amiga emulation software?
I doubt people will be using the Dreamcast to access this site. It was so slow and rubbish, I got as far as setting up an email address and told myself it wasn't worth it.
Amigas where the daddy. Didn't they develope into a machine with interent before commadore went bust.

...I dont think I even made it that far! Was a very hard game, my most recallable memory of it was on the first level annoying the hell out of Moe on the phone ;)
- The Amiga was well ahead, no doubt about it - I despised PC users, they were unenlightened, but here we all sit today, typing away on one (or a MAC, or even on a Dreamcast if they didn't pull the internet plug yet ;p)
