And what about the Amiga nemesis SEGA?

According to me they are equal about gaming speed

I mean, an A500 (w. 1 meg) and a Sega Megadrive

Commodore got it right wthen they stick a great big CD32 Advert outside the Sega headquareters and it read:

"To be this good, will take Sega ages" :-)

hmmm.... and the Saturn?

I still have to get a 32X upgrade for the Sega and a Doom cartridge, and I have to get a copy of Alien Breed 3D for CD32, then I can verify that "in your face" Commodore adressed to Sega

Genesis was a good machine at it's time, but once you got it, you couldn't do more than playing arcade-like games... the amiga could word-process, calculate, run DPaint, program, run adventure games and was upgradeable. In theory, if you have an A500 with an internal 030 accel. 4 megs Fast Ram, 3.1 roms (are there any for the A500?) and a GVP hard-drive, you can run OS 3.9 right?

as I said, I wanted to see both compared to sheer gaming speed/gfx

And btw. the Sega could run adventures too, as wel Dune 2 was available for the Sega.
