The second half is all fair enough and very good points. The first half---I would liek to see some numbers proof to show that Commodore was dominating the computer market to the extant you say it was during the DOS years and into the early Windows years.

I'm speechless, the second one is really really impressive.

I still have my old Amiga 500. Man I loved that machine. It still has some of my favourite ever games.

The original Stardust on an Amiga 500 (by Bloodhouse, they fused with the developers behind Elfmania Terramarque into Housemarque => Super Stardust HD on the PS3) :

P.S. Those Amiga sales figures are incomplete, but full and accurate data is hard to find.

Here is a little verson comparison of the game Shadow of the Beast by Reflection of Psygnosis.  The original game was designed for the Amiga 500 with 512kb or RAM. It came on two 3.5 Floppies and came with an exclusive T-shirt.  When this game was released in 1989 it was the first game to incorporate 13 levels of parallax scrolling. 

Amiga

Atari ST

Genesis/MegaDrive

A

Lynx

PC Engine CD

FM Towns Marty

Amstard

C-64 (this a incredible for the c64)

SNES

ZX Spectrum

8-bit Atari

Master System

By far the best verson was the Amiga!!

what's this Amiga exactly ???

This video demonstrates well how differently the Amiga was in usage as a computer and capabilities during the 80s compared to a MSDOS PC.

Note: There were many optional expansions such as a x86 PC emulator, so you could have a x86 PC and 68k Amiga in one box (switching work environment makes the differences even more apparent), AmigaOS was always 100% a 32-bit bit operating system so takes immediate advantage of a faster full 32-bit CPU upgrade (this model Amiga demonstrated only had a 8 MHz CPU), you could upgrade this system in the late 90s with even PPC expansion boards, graphics cards, 16-bit soundcards, etc. Things impossible to do with PCs from the 80s.

^Wow

It looks like it plays just like the Amiga version. Only different I see is loss of color.
(Goes to emulate this ASAP)
