As I recall, the Amiga was already in full swing by the time this came out but I was still stuck on a C64 with no immediate prospects of affording any sort of upgrade. But even at the time, I remember looking at this, looking at even the relatively puny Amiga 1000, and going "Why, Commodore, Why?" Even the 128 was pretty pointless as a daily driver, except in certain use cases. Such as, a friend of mine had a 128 on which he ran a BBS in native mode and it was definitely faster than my C64 BBS software. But if I came over and we were messing around playing games, well, let's just say that "GO64" keys were more worn out than the rest of em.
