Just to be clear, because there have been a number of similar responses, I am not claiming the Amiga couldn’t do anything else, nor that it wasn’t used for anything other than games.

But, the vast majority of people who bought Amigas did so because it was a great machine for games and had lots of high quality titles.

When the majority of your market disappears and moves to cheaper options; and all you have left is video walls in departure lounges, you’re fucked.
