People don't believe me when I tell them Amiga ended up in the worst possible hands. This is something to point them to.

- spullara 4y agoIf I remember right, the team that made the Amiga was the Atari 400/800 team and the team that made the Atari ST was the Commodore 64/128 team.

But the sets don't intersect with all the other people, just some of them. There's not a lot in common between the ST and the C64 other than "rock bottom price" and "multiplex the memory BUS between the CPU and the VDP" (VICII/Shifter). The C64 laid in heavily on accelerating video via a custom chip (a bit like the Amiga and Atari 8 bits) but the ST's video was really just "spew a bitmap out of RAM." Don't get me wrong, I loved my ST.
