By saying amiga fits the critera for resonable definition of multimedia, you're setting some baseline we can compare against; say the A500.
  • Enough units sold
  • Can do animation
  • Can do FM sound
  • Can store on some media (floppies) or if you had money to burn €600 harddrive
  • Can do video toster from 91 and beyond
  • Can not edit video fotage, due to storage and cpu speed
  • Can not playback video fotage, due to storage and cpu speed

By that definition, the majority of Japan and USA didnt do multimedia from 85->92. That's not my experience considering from where most of what I would say qualifies as multimedia came from.
  • If you start to remove some of the qualifications, pretty much any system that can play games will fit.
  • If you go by the text book definition, any thing more that 1 medium is multimedia, ie any music video ever created.
  • If you go by interactive multimedia, pretty much any system that can play games will fit.

Note, CD32 was released in late 93.
