Think games TM need to do a bit more research as it mentions at the end -
Quote:
Amiga gamers famously refused to let go of the format for years after the demise of Commodore in 1994, and, if the resluts of the games TM poll are anything to go by, that passion still burns strongly to this day.

Who needs a poll. Just look at any of the Amiga communities to see it first hand

Suppose it should be mentioned that this poll was conducted from their website. I never saw anything mentioned about this in any of the recent magazine issues. I think all these polls should be taken with a huge dose of salt anyway.

Looking through the breakdown of votes for consoles the XBOX was never mentioned. What got me was the fact the PC was flanked on both sides by the Amiga and the C64. Actually the Amiga got the most votes for the home computers. Normally the Amiga never gets a look in on polls like this. So actually I was pleased with the outcome.
