Amiga was a pretty cool system, and the fanbase had a devotion matched perhaps only by the lispm people.
By the way, if you're interested in the Amiga, go watch Stuart Brown (aka XboxAhoy)'s excellent documentary on FPS on the Amiga: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Tv6aJRGpz_A https://youtube.com/watch?v=Tv6aJRGpz_A
Actually, just go watch his whole backlog if you have any interest in computer history whatsoever: It's all quality work (and I do mean quality: well researched, and polished enough to go on television), and absolutely fascinating.
- Jaruzel 10y agoIf you want a good documentary on the Amiga (and also another one on 8/16 bit gaming) you can't go wrong with From Bedrooms to Billions: http://www.frombedroomstobillions.com/ http://www.frombedroomstobillions.com/ Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with this, just a paying customer (totally worth it!), but I do know the Producers.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoThanks! I can always use another good documentary. In return, I can recommend The KGB, The Computer, and Me, based on the excellent book The Cuckoo's Egg. I can also recommend all of the documentaries done by Jason Scott (Get Lamp, BBS: The Documentary, Going Cardboard (although he only edited that: He's director on the rest), and DEFCON: The Documentary)
