The Amiga is only good for demos, nothing else... Atari Rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Well, only recently I started to think differently about it (a bit).
See, the developers of the Amiga were also the developers of the.....A8 !
They tried to persuade Atari (when it was still Warner) to get their new machine developed but in all brightness Warner decided not to.
This would have become the "Atari Amiga" so to speak....
In frustration they left and started Amiga....which was later of course related to Commodore.
Anyway, soooooo, I should have bought an Amiga after I sold my A8 set, but hey, they were too freaking expensive then ! The only 68000 machine I could afford (and I do not consider the QL a real computer) was the ST.
And I never regretted it, the b/w 71 Hz screen was a joy to the eye for those days. Games we played on color screens...
I used the ST WAY into the 90's....and still have it.
Anyway...yeah yeah, the Amiga had the better hardware, but the cost was way too high when it was released. ONly when the 500 came it got more affordable, but I already had the ST then

The funny thing is that in generel lines it went like this:
A8 team, developed Amiga for Commodore and later the Lynx for Epyx that got eventually to be an Atari product.
In the meant time the ST was developed by the guys who did the C64....so al you Commodore whiners should have bought an ST back in the day !

Of all those machines, I still love the A8 the most.
BUT of course there is only one REAL Atari:
