EGA was pretty horrible. Better than CGA but that's not saying much. VGA was pretty horrible pre VLB for performance but the colours and palette were decent. I don't think you can compare the Amiga or ST to a PC in 1985. It's a different class of machine. The ST and Amiga smoke the 85 PC on performance and cost effectiveness.
