Agreed. I loved the Amiga. Owned 3 of them. But due to it's unique video architecture, the Amiga was in trouble once VGA displays became mainstream on PCs. Only the high-end Amiga 3000 was capable of a non-flickering 640x480 display as standard and you were still limited to 12 bit colour. There was no networking, only 8 bit sound and the vast majority of machines sold had no hard disk. What had been a groundbreaking platform in 1985 was looking decidedly long in the tooth by 1990. The day I saw Wolfenstein 3D on a friend's 286, I knew it was all over for the Amiga as a gaming platform too. That was the "last nail" I recall.
