What was the Amiga designed for?
« on: September 15, 2003, 04:12:01 PM »
When Commdore first launched the Amiga back in 1985, what was the machine designed for? Games, serious stuff, music, etc? I had heard that the original prototype, the Lorraine, was primarily built for games only. But after the games crash and that they decided to make it a full computer.

Yes, but would it have been upto the job?! :lol:

I pretty much thought that it was an "all purpose" machine.
