Difference between Amiga and Atari 520?
« on: October 20, 2006, 02:54:11 AM »
Hey all. I was at Weirdstuff warehouse today, and next to the C=128, was some old Atari stuff, an 800 with external floppy drive, Atari monitor, and a somewhat beat up looking 520. I haven't really thought about it too much, nobody I hung around with had them, and the "rivalry" so-called between C= and Atari as far as their computer systems went, was a topic in the magazines in the early days.

How does the 520 and Ami size up, processor wise, use, and stuff made for it? If I remember, it was marketed as a game machine to counter the A500.

Just curious.
Amiga 3000D UP and running! Hear that clicking. 8)
Amiga 3000D & 4000D in storage sadly.

I think the Atari ST and the Spectrum128 had more in common, bad sound!

I remember playing Xenon on the Atari ST and then playing the Amiga version,  then i laughed as the Atari version was awful.


 :lol:

I wonder what kind of response I would get if I asked the same question on the Atari forum?  :popcorn:
