Yes but they were nowhere near as successful as the Atari ST or Amiga. They arrived kinda late to the party compared to the Amiga 1000 (1985) or Atari ST.
You'd occasionally see one but the personal computers scene in Europe was clearly dominated by the Atari ST and the Amiga. You'd also see a few Macintosh. The Archimedes has always been a rare sighting.
- richardw 2y agoYup, why I mentioned it. I first saw a mouse on an ST, triggering much desire compared to my Amstrad CPC-464. The Amiga arrived and that was gorgeous. I would try draw the Porsche pic pixel by pixel (https://imgur.com/gallery/jim-sachs-porsche-on-amiga-OMc99EB https://imgur.com/gallery/jim-sachs-porsche-on-amiga-OMc99EB) on my own hand-crafted drawing program but the Amstrad has a tough time of it. Finally later got an Amiga 500. Never saw an Archimedes outside of magazines but the talk of RISC was intriguing.
