Amiga was £399 in 1989 in the UK, which is about £1000 in today's money. I expect they were cheaper in the US, but £1000 is fairly reasonable for a computer.

- flomo 5y agoGood deal from a company obviously swirling around the bowl who sold computers through the mall ninja store. Great games! Meanwhile, their university presence was just about nil. If you weren't a gamer, you probably didn't know Amiga existed.
- killtimeatwork 5y agoFor some reason (perhaps affordability?), Amigas were much bigger in Europe than in the US.
- BBC-vs-neolibs 5y agoIMHO you knew, but you scoffed that it couldn't do serious computing like an IBM. It could only handle games. Some didn't realise that games are pretty taxing on the hardware, but I need to let that go, it's been three decades now. :)
