Aren't the A1200 a little too 'old'

market where everyone must have a fast MMX Px with faster math copro
for Quake? Unless they're selling them as NCs or Nintendo killers.
And even as a Nintendo killer, I wonder how the A1200 stacks up
against the N64 (not that I've actually seen one in action).
I'm really curious.
The last time I checked, the going price for a 1200 was osmehting like
$575. For that you got a 14mhz 68020, 2 megs ram, and a 80 (maybe 60) meg
HD. Nowhere near being competitive to either a Nintendo or even a PC!
PLus, software is extremely expensive and relatively hard to find (You
have to know where to look)
