Was it so rare? I had A1200 and I think they were quite popular here in Europe. Don’t have any stats, though.
My parents bought it used for me and the seller also threw in Monkey Island 2 on 11 floppies and that started my great love for point and click adventure games :)
Later I’ve even added a hdd and cd-rom drive to it.
- fredoralive 2mo agoThere are some per-model stats from Germany issued at the end of 1993 (so a few months before Commodore went tits up)[1], and they have ~1 million A500s, and ~100 thousand A1200s (plus circa 10k A4000s). So there's a fair few out there, but in the greater scheme of things, they're massively outnumbered by the original models (and, seemingly even the A600 outsold the A1200, at least at that point). The A1200 was only released about a year and a half before the end of Commodore, and I doubt that there was a massive sales boost in the last few months, or the Escom phase of zombie-Amiga, so AGA is a smallish minority of Amiga in general.

- OCTAGRAM 2mo agoWhere have you seen Amiga in "all places" of ex-USSR? Amiga is quite unknown computer here. Hard to find anyone aware of Amiga at all. OS/2 and Classic Mac awareness is not that rare. Many people knowing the difference between A600 and A1200, and being from ex-USSR, sounds like wonder
