I was considering buying an amiga for a game machine, but never having
used an amiga, I don't know what machine to get.  Can a 500 play all
existing games?  How many bit's deep is the graphics on a 500, does it
have 4096 on screen colors?  I remember reading that an amiga will
output NTSC for use with television and thus I could save the monitor
cost.  Is this true?  Does the 500 do this?   As you can see I am totally
in the dark so any suggestions on which configurations are best and
cheapest for gaming would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

-Jim
