This video might be 8 years old but be under no illusion, this documentary is one of the best ever on the Amiga 500.

I used an A500 to make the video animation graphics for the film, Murder by Moonlight (TV Movie 1989 with Brigitte Nielsen) Great machine.

One of the great tech ironies of the time is that the Amiga was supposed to be an Atari with Atari (jay miner) DNA. The Atari St was really a Commodore (Tramiel) creation. What a twist.

That Batman pack was what got me into the Amiga when I was like 12. And thanks to Deluxe Paint being included, I went on to be a graphics artist in the games industry for ten years. <wipes tear from eye>

I was the happiest kid on Earth when I got an A500 with the gift money I had from my communion :) My dad tried to convince me to buy the 286 PC next to it in the store, but I stood my ground and got that lovely Amiga which gave so many good times during my childhood :)

it would be awesome to see a video about the 90's graphics programs, like truespace caligari, simply 3d, 3d studio and softimage

An impressive collection of insights about my favourite computer! People have no idea how long it takes to put together a show like this, 10s of hours work over many weeks perhaps. I also had a go at trying to unpick the Amiga timeline this year for the LemonAmiga channel, although I only got as far as the launch of the Amiga in 1985 after 4 hours of trying!, and even then, I only just scratched the surface of that whole tangled mess of litigation and piracy. The computer industry really did move at a terrific pace back in those days, and I am impressed at how this video comes over so smoothly and slowly, so that anyone can understand it. (my show will be more like a high speed train!). Keep up the great work!

Maybe I am jaded but there is still a part of me that believes that had it been managed better we might all be using Amiga compatibles today.

I have such fond memories of my many Amigas that I had owned since around 1988 (500, 2000, 600 & 4000). I've never been so passionate about any product or computer as I was for the Amiga - and so many developers managed to squeeze so much out of the hardware, doing some truly amazing things. The Amiga Demo scene was phenomenal. Really great documentary - I really think the Amiga was years ahead of the competition. It's such a shame that Commodore screwed everything so badly. My early teen years were all about the Amiga!
