There is NO f-ing way in f-ing HELL that Knightmare, particularly the first couple of seasons, used an Amiga for those shots of the dungeon rooms. Heck, from an article I read many years ago, it turns out that they weren't CGI of any kind, but PAINTINGS. Makes sense, since the company making the show were called THE TRAVELLING MATTE.
Knightmare was a massive disappointment in the fields of innovation in CGI, or total lack thereof. The last few seasons did away with any pretension of CGI at all and simply filmed live castles with a camera whose output was then pixellated to look like CGI - really, REALLY LAME.
