Before the Playstation, during the 8-bit, 16-bit and early 32-bit era especially home computers like the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, Amiga and Atari ST were popular as gaming platforms in Europe compared to other regions.
- The c64 was released 3 years before the NES launched in Europe.
- The first Amigas were available half a decade before the Snes in Europe.
The bulk of really good games for these platforms were developed in Europe.
Amiga had its own music band as well:
Amiga and c64 games (& demoscene) rocked:
