Lots of anti Amiga sentiment in this thread. Yes the x68000 was way better but who the hell(teenagers perspective) had 3 grand to spend on this vs ~£400 for an Amiga 500.
It's not just about technology but it's about price performance.
On top of that the Amiga was a computer(more favourable in europe), I spent only maybe 1/3rd of my time gaming on my Amiga 500, the rest was DPaint, and 3D rendering with Imagine with some other time on DTP, Wirdprocessing and creating vector clip art.
I realise the x68000 was also a computer but there's no English DTP/3D modeling and design/Wordprocessing/DTP software for it.
I would have absolutely loved on back in the day but realistically unless my family was a potential future candidate for NTV cribs it wasn't going to happen.
