The 16 bit computer generation peacefully "killed" the 8 bit computers.
Amstrad couldn't see this move and released the Amstrad Plus range which should have been 16 bit. (Or perhaps it should have another Z80 to get a 2x8 bit while keeping compatibility with the the old range .... why not ?)
On the other hand, Amstrad was still producing cheap 16 bit PC compatibles with pseudo EGA capacity (16 colours), so in this way it was actually a 16 bit producer.
16-bit machines:
- Commodore Amiga
- Atari ST
- Sinclair QL
- Sharp X68000
- Apple II GS
- Apple Macintosh
- IBM PC compatible
- NEC PC-98
- MSX Turbo-R
32-bit machines of the same era:
- Acorn Archimedes
- FM Towns
See Amstrad PC for more information on Amstrad's ventures into the 16bit world.
