It was an exceptionally innovative time back then. The Amiga was the most powerful multi-functional system out there, so other small and big companies used the system to try out new things. Disney animated movies like the Lion King on the system or combined computer graphics with video for their classic Dinosaur, for the time amazing graphics like seen in series such as Seaquest or Babylon 5 were rendered on the system, NASA used the system for their rocketry, there were even reports of Microsoft using Scala (Amiga presentation software) for their early floor presentations of Powerpoint, cable companies used Amigas for cable channels, the US military used them for flight simulation, etc.
