How did the Amiga fare in Australia?

[ElPolloDiabl]

They were quite popular until the 486 came below $2000 then the hardcore gamers went PC. Anyone who was just using it as a games machine went Nintendo or Playstation. There were quite a few Amiga people who upgraded to an A1200 (from an A500). A small amount of A4000/A3000 users and just a few more A2000 users. A great deal of the hardware would have gone to the rubbish tip, back when you couldn't give away an Amiga.
Back then I thought computers would evolve, but in reality they just got more bloated, faster at some tasks inc higher resolution graphics. They got dumbed down too much I guess.

I was not aware of this and thankyou for clearing this up

But also realise i was only a tiny kid in the early 1990's so maybe that's why i didn't see many  :rolleyes:

There are user groups in australia? In sydney and victoria? Why, i had no idea   :hat:

What about newcastle?

Are you kidding? You are only an hour away from Sydney, check out a SAUG meeting in Epping (on the north side of Sydney).
