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.
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
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)
Can you point to any one use of the Amiga's power in the creation of popular media?
I'm not disputing you. I'm looking to learn more, with this question.
