The A500 is my favorite machine ever, it basically merged the best of both worlds from PCs (interface, general purpose OS, programmability) and consoles (dedicated audio and video chipsets, you could use a normal TV as monitor). It took full adoption of the 256 colors VGA and Sound Blaster cards for the PC to catch-up and eventually surpass it (late games started coming out in 10+ floppy disks and it was clear it had reached its limits).
