64 Bit Amiga 500?

Did anyone buy the 64 bit Amiga Commodore 64? This DJ apparently got one back in 1994 for 50 pounds.

Huh? This article is from a music journalist who mixed the Commdore Amiga and C64 because he doesn't know better. This has nothing to do with 64bit.

Shame they upgraded bit's so much, yet we still cannot play AGA games.

Journalists should do simple fact checking. Even a Wikipedia search would have avoided this error.

Some journalists don't even bother doing the most basic research on anything that falls outside their immediate area of expertise.
