This is a bit of a misunderstanding; I too used to think that "Babylon 5 was made with amigas!" The
pilot episode's CGI was done with an Amiga, as were the first few episodes. However, as soon as Foundation Imaging got their feet under them they dropped the Amiga and went to DEC-Alpha systems as quickly as they could (they were faster all around than the 030 and 040 Amigas of the day - and the price more than reflected that).
I
also heard A4000s were used to make the M&Ms men and Terminator 2
parts.
While I can't speak for the former, the latter is untrue. The Amiga 4000 was two years away when principal design work began for Terminator 2, and still a year off when the movie was completed and released in 1991.
Sorry.
But as to the original topic, I would venture to say that had a few promised titles been released (Magic Carpet, TFX [in a more timely fashion than it was]) maybe it would've made a small difference in units sold when the curtain came down.
