It was in the UK too - the worst part of which was the games that developed for ST, as the most limited platform, then ported to Amiga. So many Amiga versions were no better than the ST because of that, as it was obviously cheaper than supporting both platforms properly. The two most impressive things about the ST were the late addition of midi, and that it was designed and launched in some absurdly short time - six months or less?? - which explains many of the compromises, and it getting Gem. Having had Amiga snatched from under him, Jack Tramiel wanted a fast response to spoil their party. Tramiel who'd only left Commodore the previous year. There's so many what-ifs to play with this timeline.
