Running some of this Mac stuff on my a1200 is quite cool, but also sort of makes me feel shortchanged. Clearly a fast '030 and upwards (especially '040 and '060) with some fast RAM is capable of a lot more than we typically got.


Look at how many different models of 68k Mac Apple produced compared with Commodore.  We essentially only had the 3000 & 4000 that came with an 030, so a smaller userbase with capable hardware.  The c64 sold more units than the Apple 2, and Amiga technology at its beginning was way ahead of Mac tech.  All comes down to terrible Commodore management, so understandable software vendors ignored the Amiga in the 90s.

Back in the day I remember using Shapeshifter for Doom, Wolfenstein, Dukenukem, Warcraft and Netscape because they weren't on the Amiga at the time.
