I was on the verge of Buying an Atari ST until a friend of mine bought an Amiga. So then i went and saw the Amiga in action, that instantly sealed it for me!. It was Amiga all the way after that!.

But i do think the ST was a good machine. I fondly remember all the debates in the Magazines about it, and honestly, without the ST the 16bit market probably wouldnt have been as big, so we would have maybe been lacking games for our Amiga early on, even if they were just ST port overs.

Nope, i will give the ST credit where credit is due!. My brother bought 2 Atari ST's 2 years ago for its MIDI because he is into making music. And that seriously is something the Amiga was sorely lacking. But yes, when it came to graphics and sound, the Amiga ate the Atari ST for breakfast.

Still a great machine though.
