"Effortless superiority via elegant engineering."

Whether it is an A1000 running Marble Madness in 1986 ( no other commercially sold computer or console in the world could run it better, only the Arcade PCB) or an A1200 running Super Stardust AGA (you needed a 10x faster 133mhz Pentium PC costing £1000 MORE to play this game with joysticks)

but why ask that about amiga? where does it lead? you have to be aware, that it only can be answered on subjective basis and the possible answers are unlimited. especially that this isnt an amiga related question at all. similar questions you might ask about common properties of elements in any relatively large sets. probably you will end up with the "theory of forms" and the relation between ideas and objects. if you solve that "identity" question for all possible sets you will answer the question in this particular case too, but not the other way around..


You could go on a car forum and ask what makes a 3 series what it is, same logic and same huge range of answers from 1978 to 2012 model personal experiences of use/ownership they've had. Same principle here :)
