You see back in my days, the earliest Amigas that we had were all 16-bit.
No you did not.
There are
no 16-bit Amigas. There never have been and there never will be.
The earliest Amiga was the A1000. It can only run 32-bit software.
All the magazines referred to the battles between the Amiga and Atari ST called it the '16-bit battles'.
If your statement is true then "all the magazines" lied.
You can check this yourself on Wikipedia.....the earliest Amigas DID have 16-bit, only the later ones were changed to 32-bit.
1. Wikipedia lied.
2. Wikipedia has testified under oath that Wikipedia is never a reliable source of information.
