Whilst it’s what a lot of people (myself included) wanted at the time, what being one of the few subsidiaries that stayed in profit. In hindsight i don’t think they could have made it work. We could have had a couple more great years of Amiga games had the hardware continued to build that user-base, but to restart in 1995 when the 3D hype was in overload was pretty unlikely.
Even if HP and Commodore did Hombre before they went bankrupt would have made it late 1995 at the earliest, with this year delay and no doubt HP rethinking things Hombre would have been too late to the game.
It is what is as they say, they had their moment and it went, no rescue team could have brought it back at that moment in time.
