We'd be fatter and happier. I mean, all the arguments of yesteryear are irrelevant now. You can run quake fluidly on an A500 in HAM mode now if you want, just put a PiStorm in there. I suspect you could write a custom 15-bit RGB to HAM C2P routine for that and run it pseudo RGB. Hell, you could even run it interlace and distribute the 1 bit error across alternate upper and lower halves of a low-res pixel on it and approximate 15-bit. The only limit to what you can do with the original hardware now is basically your imagination. And you can just use RTG if you don't want that.

Imagination: Does anyone remember when it was still a thing?

I do! You are right: We do get nice things. I wish we'd get more

for anyone comparing a full speed doom on a suitably powerful pc against a not so nippy grind on a500/a1200, the performance on grind is perfectly acceptable and having it as an almost amiga exclusive can only be seen as a good thing.
