I agree. But if you only played games on the Amiga, what would it be?
It's certainly not a console in the strictest sense. It's dependent on the user.
But I'm still not apologizing for the word I chose.
Still a computer if all you use it for is twitter and facebook nowadays? or is it a social media delivery device?
These days, it's a propaganda delivery device if you don't block a lot of shit.
Alright, fair game.
The Amiga was used by creative people and professional studios.
It was most famous by the consumer market as a gaming machine, that's what made its success, but piracy and lack of serious management from Commodore killed it.
I'm going to guess that the Amiga was used to make a portion of the media that interested me the most, back in the 80s. (I was born in '80)
Yeah, video stuff (Genlocking, titling and early 3D effects)
It's pretty apparent you had more experience with them than I ever did. (I've literally never messed with an Amiga. I wanted to.) After a couple years of connecting the aforementioned TRS-80 to a B/W TV and teaching myself TI BASIC, I got an Atari 2600. And since all I wanted to do back then was play games, I went down the console path. That didn't change until about '98 when I bought a Pentium 1 - 100 mHz
