>IIGS
Not even Apple cared about the IIGS
>Atari ST
The closest to the Amiga and direct competitors.
Amiga usually had the edge unless you needed MIDI.
>Sharp X68000
The X68k were expensive workstations and not comparable at all to the "normal" Amigas like the A500.
You could compare them to the expensive big box Amigas that you might find in a small tv station.
>FM Towns
Just a niche DOS pc

No, 80s Amigas were meant for a higher purpose

Ushering in the era of affordable desktop video and 3D rendering, thanks to the life time achievement of Tim Jenison. The hardware and software that shaped my career.

Got one of those babies in late 1990(and its successor in 1992 and 1994), it took PCs and Macs years to catch up even halfway.

Best home computer. My A1000 and later A2000 with VT was what got me into a VFX career.

That thing is a toy, and a bad one at that...just like the 500 and 1200. Real manly Amitards went for the manly 2000/3000/4000 line of bigdick-computing goodness.

Let me guess, Amiga 500, 600 and 1200?

The Amiga was de-facto budget video machine, many TV programmes, stations and editors used it, it wasn't even a music machine.
It was also de-facto pixel art for anything from the late 80's to mid 90's.

How old where you in 1990 anyways that you would have been allowed/been in such places in the first place?
