Need clarity before I buy an Alpha

[nlosure]

All,

I am confused.  With all the different monitor sizes and curves, will all the alpha 2 games play on any of the machines or are they specific to the size of the monitors and won't work or does the screen just change orientation?  Also can you play all the alpha 1 games on an alpha 2?  I don't know what to buy v22/22 v22/32 curve, etc.  Very confused at this point.  I have a ton of games for Alpha and Alpha 2 just don't understand the machine types.  Sorry for such a basic question.

I hope this isn't a complicated answer. You want the platform that has what games you want to play. Me personally I think the V32 is my favorite and has better game selection. (but I also have a 22/22)

As far as software is concerned, All Alpha 1 games (except Crystal Spider (v22/32) game will run on Alpha 2. Crystal Spider complains about the newer bios chip on Alpha 2 but plays fine on Alpha 1. Not a game worth worrying about.

If you get a v22/22 and run 22/32 game, the top screen will be sideways but still play fine. V32 runs sideways on a 22/22.

When buying games, look on youtube or ask on the forums if the game is 22/22, v32, curve, or v22/32.

If you get a V22/22 you can easily convert it to a curve, and back again. I do that with mine.

I could go on and on.. but tried to keep it simple.

Bottom line is the type of games you want to own.

Hope this helps
