Oh no!  (The India Amiga site is down too.)  We'll all be lost without Amiga Inc.


The India site is back up.

So it looks like they are still hardly in "business functioning mode".

The mail server for amiga.com does not currently exist, so they can be reported for inaccurate WHOIS info here:

Website is still down.

Anybody heard any more info?

They were a shell for years anyway.  Looks like someone turned off the life support.


They are busy in the gulf helping with the oil spill cleanup efforts. Bill McEwen and crew have teamed up with Kevin Costner.

It actually isn't open. The domain has been hijacked by someone.

Some did know that this company did'nt have a snowballs chance in hell to succed!. I did enjoy my amiga did cry when they went under but u must understand amiga is never coming back, sorry but it is the truth.

It is now 19 years since then went under! time to grasp reallity!.


In a way you are right, it's not impossible but so difficult to come up with something as good as PS3/360 for games at just 2x the cost it will never happen.

However all people wanted was a nice machine not too expensive (price/performance) to run OS4 this decade. And Amiga Inc failed to do that miserably too. But then so has every other company supplying OS4 capable hardware today and Hyperion's refusal to transfer OS4 to PPC Mac hardware which is plentiful is also fail ;)

The only company illegally supplying Amiga related items is Cloanto, as Amiga Inc are seemingly dead how the hell is their agreement to exclusively supply KS roms/WB ADFs still valid and not illegal, rip-off prices for Amiga Forever not withstanding ;)

That is crazy I used to live right near that place when I was a kid in 1985 and when I bought my A1000. I also had a couple of friends that live right down the street from this house......
