Amiga News from Gamer Headlines
From the article
"If you were an 80s or 90s kid and old enough to be gaming at the time, you should remember the Commodore Amiga. The iconic Amiga 500, It was a personal computer way ahead of its time. And when I say a PC, well it was used mostly as a gaming machine due to its advanced graphics and sound. It was a true multimedia machine and maybe even the first.
What really made the Amiga 500 and its successors like the Amiga 500+ stand out was the music this computer could produce. Arguably, it had one of the best, if not the best sound outputs of the time, whereas other machines and game consoles still had bleep and beeps. While most game systems utilize mono sounds at this time, the Amiga 500 could create stereo sound, handle four channels, and later on synthesize music instruments like drums, flutes, and the piano at the composer’s disposal. Even a synthesized voice could function as a sample voice. Hey, remember I’m talking about 1987 when the Amiga 500 was launched before many of our readers were even born. It was truly an advanced piece of hardware."
