Problem with Falcon was that it was too expensive, too incompatible and too late. ST was already dying and users moving to PCs.

And in the end Atari didnt have enough money to push Lynx and Jaguar forward. Too few games.


@foleyjo

CDTV lacked in software support and in the end it was just A500 with ancient Kickstart 1.3.

Commodore was notorious to push various crappy 8bit machines in hope of a gold mine and it didnt change with A1000... They just took old design and rebadged in hope it generates more profit than loss.

I wouldnt say IBM was much better really... they took a nose dive in early 90s too and were pushed out from the PC business.

EGA modes (16 colors) were often planar modes but there were also some chunky 16 col modes.
