That C= didn't put at least a small amount of fast ram into all their systems was one of their more bone-headed moves. Practically a crime.  But with their laundry list of dumb decisions, I suppose we should be happy we got any expansion ports at all. :angryfire:

An '030 system with AGA and a few megs of fast could've held it's own against the consoles for at least another year, if released by '91-'92. But, it's easy to second-guess the past. *sigh*

Amiga always seemed to have much more mediocre hard drive support, compared to PC games.  Both because hard drives were more expensive (so fewer people had them), and of course the piracy issue.  *sigh*  If every game had been hard drive installable from day one, and if hard drives had been cheaper...  if wishes were fishes!  :(
