Amiga is still alive!
My first Amiga was the Amiga 1200, I bought it when Commodore still exist. It really was ****.
For the price of my Amiga 1200 I could buy a 386 which did circles around my A1200 and my cousin's A4000 put together.
Because, unfortunately, pathetic idiots from Commodore forgot to add chunky pixels modes to AGA.
What made any application that drew something 10 times slower on Amiga than pc with the same clock.
Today Amiga are maybe 2 times slower on one core than the latest pc.
And we can use without problems PC graphic cards in ours Amigas.
It's much better than the days of the commodore.
This sick perverted cult of classic Amiga, is incomprehensible.
Hmm,... where to start with how wrong you are?
Firstly an a4k, in any guise outperforms any 386, let alone "an a1200 and a4k combined". Want chunky modes? Simple. Use chunky mode hardware. It's not rocket science. Even using non chunky modes an a4k will outperfom a 386 for tasks that favor chunky type data 9 times out of 10.
As for "And we can use without problems PC graphic cards in ours Amigas.",... well, its not that "simple" either. We can use a handful of second hand, obsolete cards, sure, but thats about it. As for "Today Amiga are maybe 2 times slower on one core than the latest pc", well, that's also complete nonsense. On the occasional task a top end ppc mac might get somewhere near that, but for the most part "amigas" are just as far away from pcs in terms of performance as they where back in the Commodore days. Probably even further away.
As for, "It's much better than the days of the commodore",.... what weird twisted reality are you living in. At least we had original, interesting software back then and not just sub-par ports of open source software + a few homebrew scraps as is the case today.
Not to say I dont appreciate the work people have done. I myself have done a number of ports for "NG" platforms, but there's a huge chasm between what we get these days vs. yesteryear.
