Why does the Amiga suck so bad?

>doesn't have anything consoles don't
>games perform at or less than their console counterpart, or worse
>game already exists on console AND looks worse on amiga
>countless immemorable shmups
>countless nonsensical click-around games

Literal shit covered in glitter in the truest sense of the expression

It's gotta be some console-related brain damage in there, too. There's a lot of focus on the concept of "exclusives" which is retarded in a home computer context.

Sure there is. Make good posts, ignore bad ones, report trollish ones. It won't make a huge difference if you're all alone, but it pulls things in the right direction, and if enough people did it, the board wouldn't be a shithole anymore.

I'm pretty sure they're 5th gen kids. The fact that most think the 500 or 600 was the first or only Amiga is a give away.

>> No.4158821

I grew up with a Amiga 600. I'll probably used that machine longer than some of the trolls here posting have lived.

One of the advantages was probably cheap pirate copies of games, I think we only had a couple of bought games. The crack demos in the intro of the games were usually a blast.

I'm really sad my amiga 600 died, but it's too big a hassle to get it to work again.

Except it came out in 1985 and out performed consoles for a decade.

>> No.4159396

>>4159342

Yeah, while I wouldn't say "a decade" -- the 16 bit consoles outperform an OCS Amiga in several ways -- it's pretty obvious that the Amiga basically jumped ahead an entire hardware generation when it was released.
It's a shame old Jack 'Dick" Tramiel fucked things up regarding the second generation Amigas. If he hadn't been such an ass, we likely would have seen the AA chipset come out, instead of having it delayed for years due to the massive cuts in Commodore's research budget, only to get just a partial release in the cut-down form that was AGA.

He was in Atari already when the Amiga even came first out.

Wait, you're right, I'm misremembering. The thing that Tramiel did that fucked the Amiga over was when he left he got about half the engineers to go with him.

Amiga always wanted it's own team and always had, Amiga (Hi-Toro) was (at first) engineers from Atari who left Atari, latter finding other top tier guys to hire. Amiga was a thing before Commodore acquired them, mind you.

What he did was find out about the Atari Amiga contract that Commodore tried to lie about and started fucking Commodore with it, severely delaying Amiga at first against the Atari ST and also stealing a lot from the Amiga.
