I remember Amithlon before the licensing problems, running on (if memory serves) a 750mHz x86 machine. Display was a 38 inch (yes, that's right) monitor, & it was streaming & playing four videos (using Frogger) from the same HD at the same time. Awesome !
PC users refused to believe it was possible until the case side was removed to prove there was only one HD in the machine. If you had tried to do the same thing using Windows98 or W2K, which were the current Windows versions at that time, then the machine would have either crashed or slowed to slideshow frame rates.
I also recall that it booted straight into Amithlon very quickly, & while you couldn't run games, OS legal software ran at blistering speed. When you'd finished there was no shutdown proceedure, just press the power switch to close down.
Best of all, it really felt like an Amiga.
