Commodore's 16 bit home computer AMIGA is one of the best known and loved of it's generation.
It was maybe the first real Multi Media home computer, long before Apple's Mac.
It had a lot of co-processor and sweet architecture tricks.
The A500 was perhaps the most well known emblematic model.
Yet it was completly Screwed by the PC standard, thanks to Commodore's Corporates non sense.
A kind of sweet vengeance for Amstrad users (who suffered the same thing, thank you Lord Sugar...).
