he's 19, he didn't had the chance to get into the famos world of 8-bit and its 64 kilobytes :mrgreen:

Plus Amiga emulators are a lot easier to get working than C64 emulators, and MOD music is better than SID music, so there's more reasons why...

If you mean 4 channel MOD, yes, SID pwns that.

However, when OctaMED became Octamed SoundStudio providing 64 channels ON A STOCK AMIGA, SID just doesn't compare...

stay on the earth^^ when we talking about amiga its games and MOD, then of coz it's good ol' 4-channel startracker, since the amiga couldn't handle more from its hardware side. however some rare artist also used already 8-channels at that time.
anyway i prefered the CUS or TXFM over MOD, since they allowed much more creativity since they could handle some neat analog filters. CUS is a kind of high end SID. please lissen once to the titel music of Hybris, that will blow off your ears :D

They all kinda sucked as home computers - great for games but not so great for productivity apps.  Of course, they were far cheaper than a comparable Apple or PC.

Amiga music rules.
C64 music rules.

The best part about Commodore systems. Don't care for the games much.

What's your point Kitsune?  Weren't Video Toaster and Lightwave intended for the commercial market?  If it weren't for cost, I would've rather used a PC or Apple ][ for basic home computing needs.

Amiga FTW.

Commodore licks decrepid nutsacks, and likes it. Amiga is, and always has been too good for them. That's the real reason they split.
