One of the stragest quirks with AGA...

Non flicker free display as standard, thus requiring a TV or scart enabled tv (outside of Europe these didn't exist)

PC's came with a Flikcer free display as standard.

So this hurt the brand. Instead of the preivuous luxury computing for a commodore price... you now settled for something that was almost as good as the PC.

And yes let's not kid ourselves. You needed a Full 386 33 mhz or ideally a 486dx2 66mhtz to play doom and all the games. I waited for those to come out before I got one of the PC's even then I still picked up a A4000/ 030 for $750 to run alongside the PC.
