For the most classic experience, you want an A500 with 1Mb RAM and a second floppy drive.

As much as I love the Amiga for the good times I had with AMOS and DPAINT, don't expect anything great of many of the games, especially if you are used to console quality. Most Amiga stuff is slow/jerky in comparison although you will find some very nice artwork.

A 1200 should be fine, if I remember rightly (its been a while!) there's no faffing about with older games, you just need the right kickstart disks.

Failing that a 500+ or 600, the stock 500 only had 1/2mb, the + and 600 had 1MB and the 1200 had 2MB. It doesn't seem like much but games like Settlers are infinitely better on the 1200 (well, with 2MB).

A500 can be upgraded beyond 1MB but it's rare hardware.  I have a Supra-RAM side car that attaches to the left side and is expandable internally from 1MB to 8MB
