Again, you "countered" with the very point I made. The SNES and Mega Drive don't have video connectors. RF and A/V plugs are the only options. I wasn't claiming that the Amiga didn't have those plugs. I was pointing out that the other systems didnt.

No matter what you think, the Amiga is not a video game console. It is a gaming PC (although a very good one).

Like I pointed out the once popular Amiga CD32 dedicated games console can be connected to monitors as well. On some units out of the box through a SCART/RGB port (other models could be expanded to include such a port) or through the standard included S-Video port.

IMO having a Snes with monitor support wouldn't have disqualified the console as being a games console.

    But TV support doesn't make the Amiga a games console. That is my point. The Amiga is a PC. Ergo, comparing any spect to it is unfair, as PCs need higher specs to do their functions past gaming.

Wait a sec, did he just call the CD32 popular/succesful? That system was the very deffinition of a snafu, and sold horrid (well under 100k)

BTW, the SNES supports RGB as does the MD just like the CD32. So you can hook those consoles up to a RGB monitor if they support 15.75khz, such as an Amiga Monitor
