Scala - 25 Years - looking back
« on: January 21, 2014, 11:18:41 PM »
Here is an interesting read about the beginning of the Scala company I found recently.

... "Then we cut some features and made the MM100. Sold over five million of those for the Amiga. Pretty astounding when you realize they only made about ten million Amigas. It was bundled with every Amiga in the last few years...

I remember the early years better than the later ones because it was just so much more fun. The ultimate underdogs, but we always had the most amazing software. We did tricks that Apple only could do after OSX. Ten years ahead of Jobs the guru"…

as soon as Newtek came out with their Toaster Amiga's sold like hotcakes..and yes, it was in the millions in the US


So You don´t think that most Amigas were sold because of the games? Remember, the best selling model was the A500 - unexpanded (not counting the expansions of 512 kb and additional diskdrives)
