Somehow, when I was a kid, and I got my first computer, it was an Amiga 3000. The amiga was already dying, but as a kid I was not able to at first realize that.

What personally killed the Amiga for me, was the graphics power. The Amiga 3000 "enhanced chipset", best graphic mode was 320x200 with 64 colors (extra half brigth). Meanwhile, PC VGA displays 800x600 and 1024x768 256 colors were starting to become popular on the PC side. The Amiga was clearly behind.

The Amiga was also capable of 640x400, but only with 16 colors. And the "HAM" mode, 4096 simultaneos colors on low res 320x200, suffered from "color fringing" and was mostly unusable.

What would have made me happy back then, was a 736 x 482 overscan mode with 4096 real simultaneous colors.

I wish I could restore all the game demos that I made back then with Amos Basic. lots of simple games, a basic doom clone, musical apps, etc. I would love to give a look at that code again.
