Amiga PC To Make A Comeback

[dgridley]

Amiga Inc., the company that purchased the rights to the Amiga line of computers back in 1999, has risen from its perpetual slumber to announce a new line of PowerPC-based computers that will run Amiga OS. The first machine will be a "consumer-level" system that will run at around $500, to be followed up with a more powerful system for $1,500. Manufacturing information, availability, and detailed specifications are promised to follow next week.

The Amiga 1000 was one of my first computers "back in the day".. I loved playing games on the thing! It was awesome at the time...

That`s a great news!

I was very young when after the Atari I started playing with Commodore Vic20 and then Commodore 64 and then Amiga 500 , coming all from the same company I guess.

Many nice Arcade games that are still very enjoyable.

I look forward for this new one.

Thanks for the news!

I always like the Motorola 68000 chip.. I haven't been following it to see what the processor will be in the new machine, but I hope it compares favorably with what's available today or better. The Amiga had some amazing capabilities for it's time.
