Amiga



"Only Amiga makes it possible."

The Amiga is a family of personal computers by Commodore. Introduced in 1985, its unique arcade-like chipset gave it high-end graphical, audio, and multitasking capabilities far ahead of other systems at the time. It was only a modest success in America, where IBM-compatibles ruled, but it became huge in Europe, especially UK and Germany. They were often used for gaming, demoscene activities, video editing, and computer graphics.

However, Commodore was plagued by some of the most criminally incompetent management in the history of technology. The competition eventually caught up, while the Amiga stagnated and was very poorly marketed. Sales collapsed in the early 90s, and after the CD32 flopped, the company closed its doors.

And even so, out of sheer obsessed devotion of its old users, the Amiga lives on! Its operating system is currently maintained by Hyperion, while A-Eon still makes compatible PowerPC-based machines. There is also AROS, a full-featured open-source clone compatible with plain x86 PCs.
