In 16bit terms, the X68000 is on a class of its own. Nothing comes close. Not even the FM-Towns (debatable, I know, but it's my opinion).
IMO, the Amiga is in a very worthy second place. And considering the relationship price-quality, it really has no contender at all. Contemporary Ataris, contemporary Apples, 16bit PCs (286) and even the NeXT Workstations, all lag behind. If we consider the 32bit realm (the Archie is a full 32bit, unlike the aforementioned machines), then the competition gets a bit stiffer. The 32bit PC's we don't even need to mention and the 32bit Apples are almost like them, the Atari Falcon is a very worthy machine and even with the amount of hate that seems to proliferate around here, the Acorn Archimedes was also a very meritorious machine. It had immense raw CPU power (for the time) but unfortunately it lacked some other features. Imagine what could have been done had the Archie come with the Amiga Graphics and Audio Chipsets and a blittler. Or imagine if the Amiga had a 32bit RISC CPU with proper DMA. I think the X68000 wouldn't reign as supremely as it does... |

Appalling and very bad English + numerous mistakes + low I.Q, poor phrasing + wrong understanding of what 'false friend' means : What Are French False Friends (aka “Faux Amis”)? When French words look like English words, they really ought to mean the same thing, oughtn’t they? Often they do, fortunately, but some words don’t play fair. And those are the faux amis, which literally translates to “false friends.” These words can easily trick you into getting the wrong end of the stick, or to say something senseless or embarrassing that you hadn’t intended at all. https://www.fluentu.com/blog/french/...ends-cognates/ 'Owner' is not a false friend, there is not a single French word looking like or pronounced like this one. Go back to school (if you've ever been there, as you are so psychotic). You are deplorable. Last edited by MalikS; 15 June 2018 at 15:21. |

It was intended for the education market, why it would need graphics? The same as Mac - at the beginning even the color for Mac was a secret project, because the education and DTP markets didn't need color at all. |

Funny isn't it that both Amiga and Atari remained so close in everything they did. Right down to the fact, that both their last computer designs were games consoles. |

Nice to see that some of us stop at nothing to make our retro hardware computer collection the ultimate! Very pleased for you. Nice investment too, that machine is like Amiga, it shall never depreciate only appreciate.

Will Amiga pass Apple again now that Apple is not updating their Mac's?

Yeah, we'll catch up on over 30 years of progress no probs. Only Amiga makes it possible.

We probably get into specs because we're older now.
But think again, what kind of scene there was / there is on Mac / Archimedes / X68000 / Neo Geo ? Back in the time, we were teens, needing freedom, creativity, and having fun. Not specs. That was what the scene was about. And it happened on Atari, C64, Amiga. PC and consoles later and do not really come close... |

I've only owned a Amiga and PC. But I think the atari did very well, 1Mb of ram and a 640x400 for under $1000 in the early 80s. I think if they had managed to get the Macintosh DTP software on it, it would of done some serious damage. I think what the Mac did with the networked printer was a smart idea. Buying 1 laser printer and sharing it with a bunch of other Macs would of seemed like a smart investment even if it was overpriced. I really do like the aesthetics of the Mac gui, it really did seem professional.
It is a shame that management ruined Amiga but I respect Atari for taking risks, dsp with the falcon, and the Atari Jaguar, the Atari Jaguar gamepad looked horrendous compared to the AmigaCD32 one. If the Amiga 3000 or Amiga 4000 was released with a dsp... |

The same way management ruined Atari tbh, just imagine a proper CD Jaguar with support from Amiga devs with a decent controller would have been the best combination of graphics and original games! As soon as they said its cartridge based it put it against the unstoppable Megadrive and SNES, and when devs heard it was Atari, they said seeya later!
