The Amiga 500 was light years ahead of everything when it was first released. It didn't have a graphical rival until the SNES.
Fact; I played on Amiga (500/1200's) since I was about 5 and only got my first own console in about 1998 which was a Playstation. Do I regret not owning a NES, Megadrive or SNES? Nope.
I still often play Amiga games on Winfellow and WinUAE, top notch emulators. Some of the best games on those machines.
