A History of the Amiga, Part 7: Game on!

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.”
