when you factor in software, the amiga certainly jumps ahead. BUt the earlier you set the clock, the more the amiga shines. In 85 or 86, there's just nothing like it.

It may not seem like it but I am a huge fan of the Amiga and of Commodore.  I owned most of the best machines by Commodore and wonder 'what if' like most of you.  AutoConfig was brilliant but by 1994 Paula was outdated...

In 1994 AGA was too little too late.  Doom and Wolfenstein 3D were huge and for the first time PC games made the Amiga look dated.


Well, Doom wasn't out when AGA came out, but the writing was certainly on the wall. A VGA style chipset was what had been needed.
