Ars Technica's Jeremy Reimer has published the 7th instalment in their series on the history of the Amiga platform. Part 7 deals solely with gaming on the Amiga, detailing various classic Amiga games that in one way or the other pushed the envelope. "The Amiga started out its life as a dedicated games machine, and even though it grew into a full computer very quickly, it never lost its gaming side. The machine's 4096-color palette, stereo sampled sound, and graphics acceleration chips made it a perfect gaming platform, and it didn't take long for game companies to start taking advantage of this power."

Of course, it was the Golden Age of gaming after all. Nothing like getting nostalgic over being 12 years old wasting away summer days in the basement playing Black Hawk, Pharaoh's Curse and Pitstop 2. Granted, that was the C64 but still, lovely memories.
