Amiga vs console vs PC

@above
You just made me feel ill when you mentioned floppies. 6 or even 10 on some games. Not a good games console.

Are we forgetting the Amiga CDTV here?

Also, remember that the Amiga is a computer, not a games console. Luckily those huge multiple disk adventure games were hard drive installable. PC games came on 10 or more floppy disks as well you know, so the Amiga wasn't alone in that respect.

Well we can forget AGA times as that was not cutting edge and 256 colour planar mode a knife in the belly so too little too late. ECS was an April fool gone way too far no?. AGA did nothing for solid polygon or 2.5D scaling graphics and the cpu needed to be 25mhz 020 AND 512K min 32bit Fast ram or empty simm slot to keep up with Doom or even SuperFX/SEGA SVP carts in mid 90s.

The Amiga 1000 was both radical and cutting edge A/V hardware but revolutionary in use due to multi-tasking GUI OS so it could do both so it's a redundant question. The most powerful computer==most stunning game graphics.

The problem was pathetic coding on games, did Outrun look like the SEGA 16bit console or 8086 EGA PC version? Exactly.

Unfortunately Commodore did not act like illegal monopolistic Ninbendo scum bags preventing independent releases on Amiga so could never compete with $100 NES CRAP as they made nothing on software and could therefore not sell hardware at cost.

To go from arcade perfect Marble Madness in 1986 to Ourun/SF2 turds from greedy UK nobheads is a joke but it's the story of Amiga. SNES can't do Lotus 2, Mega Typhoon or Shadow of the Beast but yanks/jap %&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!s still bought the slow boring Mario crap...go figure.

There was never much wrong with hardware but who wants to play ST ports like Chase HQ? If only C= had bought out Cinemaware and done CDTV versions of everything.....not NEC CD crap.

A500 says all about C= without Jack, 18 months to replace A1000 beatiful case, WORM Kickstart RAM and internal PSU & power switch with pig ugly looks, a ROM socket and Vic 20 style PSU with power switch on it. Designed by dicks 'managed' by diks = A500 project. They didn't even promote A1000 in 1986 waiting for 12 month late A500 turd.

They would have f*cked it up either way clearly as Plus/4, C128 and A500 turds ateste

(Apple/Wintel/Nnbendo scum winning is worse...thanks dumb yank pr1ks consumers for playing Marble Madness ad DotC on your gay PC EGA/NES machines and ignoring A1000 or C64...priks...hell even the 520STM @ $399 DUMPED ON $4000 256K Mac)

Most sense I've read on here in a while.
