POLL: What is the most viable Amiga platform for *you*?

[Arkhan]

I picked Amiga classic because everything else I tried was retarded and pissed me off.


I also only use these things to play games so the rest of its features are useless to me.

They licensed the Commodore name therefore they are related to the C= of old.

I want to buy out the Chevrolet name, and start selling tampons.  They'll sell well, since all the Chevy enthusiasts will see the relation, right?

[Arkhan]

Cars to tampons, really? Thats a pretty pitiful contrast. If you think that Commodore International is like cars and CUSA is like tampons there isn't enough help in the world for you. However I do recognize a strawman no matter how poorly implemented.
.

Well, its about the same relation really.

Commodore 64/stuff = Pretty fun, useful, popular, unique.
New Commodore = Run of the mill bullshit, the same as every other new PC just with a different package.

Chevys: Fun, useful, popular, unique!
Tampons: Run of the mill bullshit.  Same as every other tampon just with a different package.

:roflmao:


That part about "there isnt enough help in the world for you" was cute though.

[Arkhan]

Are you keepin up with the Commodore?

CAUSE THE COMMODORE IS KEEPIN UP WITH YOU.

I've heard that the 65816 is roughly comparable in horsepower to the 68000, but it's not nearly as nice an architecture, and nothing you'd want to build a multitasking OS around. It might have been good for Commodore to go with a MOS CPU for the Amiga, but it should have been a completely new design.

The 65816 is a nightmare.  I think it is the worst CPU to code for, ever.

Thank God they used 68k

[Arkhan]

and though it is clocked at 2.whatever mhz the snes does pretty well too.

You do know the SNES is a pain in the ass to develop for because of the 65816 being the CPU inside of it , right?

Among other things.
