- johnyzee 18y ago"the Amiga ... missed on graphics and so never really attracted game developers to its platform." I don't know about the US, but in Europe the Amiga epitomized games and multimedia development for a decade since the mid eighties (the demo scene was huge in those days). Also, it was light years ahead of it's time on the graphics/multimedia front.

- mlLK 18y agoAnyone else have a Commodore64? This was my first computer, since my parents got a newer PC leaving me with the Commodore. All I can remember was playing Skater Or Die.
