The Amiga had been intended as a games machine in early development when it was still only a project at Amiga Inc. However, when the 1983 video games crash happened, they started looking at other purposes and decided to add keyboard and mouse support. When they got funding from Atari it wasn't entirely clear if it was going to become a games console, a home computer, or both. Then Jack Tramiel was ousted from Commodore and took engineers with him. Commodore had to abandon the Commodore 900 project: a 16-bit business computer running Coherent (a clone of Unix), and was looking for a replacement: a hole which the Amiga filled, and then some.
