3Commodore's 1985 follow-on to the Platform/Commodore64, the '''Amiga''' was one of the first true "multimedia [=PCs=]", and featured several technologies that were years ahead of their time (including the 16/32-bit central processor). ExecutiveMeddling and MisaimedMarketing kept the system from selling well in the USA, [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff but elsewhere, the Amiga was far more popular]] and has a [[CultClassic cult following]] to this day. (And when we say "cult", we mean it: Amigans are far more faithful to their platform than even Platform/AppleMacintosh fans, which is saying something after all it's been through.) At the time, its primary competition was the Platform/AtariST. In Japan however, Amiga's gaming force was nonexistent, as the industry was dominated by NEC's PC-88 and PC-98, Fujitsu's FME-7 and FM Towns, Microsoft's MSX and [=MSX2=], and Sharp's [[Platform/SharpX1 X1]] and [[Platform/SharpX68000 X68000]].

5The Amiga's heart was a set of extremely powerful custom integrated circuits designed by Jay Miner, who was also responsible for the custom graphics chips in the Platform/Atari2600 and Platform/Atari8BitComputers. These chips had names like "Fat Agnus"[[note]][=Address GeNerator UnitS=][[/note]] and included functions such as a "blitter", which allowed fast screen updates, and a "copper", which implemented scanline DMA[[note]]Direct Memory Access[[/note]] (which eventually became a common trick on 16-bit consoles). The Amiga also included 4-channel, DMA-driven audio, which led to the development of the first Platform/{{MOD}} trackers, and the {{demoscene}} that surrounded them. Amiga could also "genlock" (synchronize input/output) to NTSC or PAL video, making it very popular with TV production facilities; [=NewTek=] developed the Video Toaster, an early 3D animation and video editor system, to work with the Amiga's genlock and overlay capabilities. Many TV shows in the late 1980s and early 1990s used Amigas for computer screens and special effects, notably ''Series/TheChartShow'' and ''Series/BabylonFive''. The development of anime {{fansub}}s in the late 1980s is also tied to the Amiga and its genlock capabilities, as it represented the first method of overlaying subtitles on video on equipment affordable to the average user. Amigas were also used to power the ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop_(American_TV_channel) Prevue Channel]]'', a US TV channel that was listings for all your local cable channels scrolling in a loop on the bottom half of the screen; the top half would be taken up by cable networks' promos, cable company-created ads, and Prevue-produced segments about what to watch. A similar network called ''Sneak Prevue'' was launched in 1991, showing previews for pay-per-view movies and such. However, the Amigas, lacking pre-emptive multitasking, were very error-prone and tended to crash frequently, leaving you with no guide or previews; by the late 90s, it began to suffer NetworkDecay, after TV Guide bought it and rebranded it as the TV Guide Channel, which eventually morphed into Creator/PopTV; see that article for more. On the upside, however, when TV Guide came along, the Amigas were replaced with Windows [=PCs=] that definitely weren't as crash-prone.
6
7On top of this was [=AmigaOS=], an operating system that had one of the earliest implementations of preemptive multitasking on a consumer PC (though without memory protection), something that only expensive minicomputers and workstations offered at the time, and a relatively friendly GUI called "Workbench". The A1000 even had [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_desktop multiple desktops]], which provided prior art that [[http://www.osnews.com/story/23300/_My_Amiga_Killed_a_Troll_ defeated a patent troll.]]
8
9Despite being ahead of its time, the released [=AmigaOS=] is ''not'' [[WhatCouldHaveBeen the advanced operating system the Amiga engineers originally wanted]]; due to software development on the original CAOS falling behind schedule, Commodore instead opted to build upon a 68000 port of TRIPOS, which forms the [=AmigaDOS=] component of the final OS while still providing the promised preemptive multitasking capability. Commodore later released a port of AT&T's System V Platform/{{Unix}} operating system that it dubbed "Amiga Unix". Of course, the Amiga 68k runs [=NetBSD=].
10
11Commodore eventually failed in 1994, and the Amiga, supported by fans, moved from company to company until settling down in 2000. [=AmigaOS=] was ported to the [=PowerPC=] and was sold on new hardware called the [=AmigaOne=] for a time in the early 2000s. [=AmigaOne=] is now selling a new computer, the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AmigaOne_X1000 AmigaOne X1000.]]
12
13In 2022, Retro Games Ltd., the same company behind The C64 Mini microconsole, released a microconsole version of the Amiga 500 called [[https://retrogames.biz/products/thea500-mini/ The A500 Mini]]; despite its name, The A500 Mini can also emulate the AGA chipset of the Amiga 1200. Like its predecessor, the user can load their own software and update the firmware on The [=A500=] Mini via a USB flash drive.

52!!Specifications:
53
54[[AC:Processors]]
55* CPU: Motorola 680x0 series (Commodore era) or [=PowerPC=] (post-Commodore)
56* [[MediaNotes/GraphicsProcessingUnit GPU]], OCS : "Agnus" (coprocessor/blitter) and "Denise" (sprites, video display)
57* GPU, ECS: "Fat Agnus" (coprocessor/blitter) and "Super Denise" (sprites, video display)
58* GPU, AGA: "Alice" (coprocessor/blitter) and "Lisa" (video display)
59* Sound: "Paula"
60
61[[AC:Memory]]
62* The Amiga was notorious for its split RAM banks, called "Chip RAM" and "Fast RAM". Chip RAM (graphics memory shared with the CPU) was used by Agnus/Alice and had to run at lock-step with the vertical refresh. Fast RAM (CPU-only system memory) could be accessed by the CPU at full speed. Then there was Slow RAM, the worst of both worlds.
63* OCS Amigas had 256K (A1000), 512K (A500, A2000), or 1MB (late A2000, CDTV) Chip RAM, 512K Slow RAM (A500 via internal REU, A2000) and up to 8MB Fast RAM.
64* ECS Amigas had 1-2MB Chip RAM, up to 8MB (A500+, A600) or more (A3000) Fast RAM
65* AGA Amigas had 2MB Chip RAM, up to 16MB (A1200) or more (A4000) Fast RAM
66
67[[AC:Display: OCS/ECS]]
68* 4096 color palette
69* Nominal resolution from 320x200 to 640x400 NTSC, 320x256 to 640x512 PAL
70* Overscan up to 736x482 NTSC, 736x576 PAL
71* ECS: 1280x400 with 4 colors out of 64
72* ECS supports both 50Hz and 60Hz refresh rates and both PAL and NTSC color output (although the default refresh rate and color system at boot depends on the region the machine comes from), OCS is either 50Hz PAL or 60Hz NTSC only depending on region.
73* 32 independent colors in 320xX, plus an "Extra Half-Brite" mode that adds 32 more colors, half as bright as the first 32
74* 16 colors in 640xX
75* Hold And Modify mode in 320xX: all 4096 colors on screen
76* Palette swaps on scanline interrupt
77* 8 hardware sprites
78* Coprocessor and blitter for hardware scrolling and sprite manipulation
79
80[[AC:Display: AGA]]
81* 16 million color palette
82* All OCS/ECS resolutions, plus 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768
83* 256 colors at any resolution
84* HAM-8 mode with 262,144 colors on screen
85* Does not support "Chunky mode", aka packed-pixel graphics mode, that was previously supported by OCS and ECS. This significantly slows down the graphics redraw routines of software that relies on it, causing ghosting during scrolling in certain games and productivity software.
86
87[[AC:Sound]]
88* Four DMA-driven eight-bit PCM channels, software mixable into two fourteen-bit PCM. For a time in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Amiga was as good as it got when it came to sample-based sound, unless you had the money to buy a professional sampler/workstation. [[note]]While the Acorn Archimedes actually technically had better sound, it was impeded by lack of DAW and tracker software; and by it's very limited distribution to only within the UK.[[/note]]
89
90!!Notes for those who might want to buy hardware:
91
92The Amiga gaming experience is surprisingly console-like, since most games boot directly from floppy disks. That said, floppies are slow and often need to be swapped on bigger games, so hard drive installs are recommended wherever possible.
93
94For games that do not include their own installers from within the Workbench environment, you can use [[http://www.whdload.de WHDLoad,]] though do note that several games require at least 1 MB of Chip RAM to use it and will not work with systems with only 512 KB of Chip RAM. Some non-AGA titles may even require more than 1 MB, for which the only solution for A500 and A2000 owners is to track down a rare and often very expensive upgrade like the [=DKB MegAChip 500/2000=].
95
96Apart from the [=CD32=], the main game-playing Amigas are the 500 and the 1200. Most A500 games will run on both, though for older or badly made titles, a piece of software called ''relokick'' may be required.
97
98If you're using a [=32-bit=] machine, you may also have to disable the CPU's instruction and data caches for a game to run properly, as self-modifying code (software that overwrote its own instructions with new instructions for performance reasons) was a popular trick at the time, but if not implemented in a way that took the 32 bit 680x0 chips' caches into account would lead to the code in the cache not matching the code in RAM, resulting in hard crashes. Kickstart 3 onwards had an early boot menu that gave you the option of disabling CPU caches if present. In the early days, game developers were encouraged to bypass the OS and access the hardware directly, optimizing performance at the expense of forwards compatibility. The 'correct' '80s Amiga is an A500 with the OCS and Workbench 1.2 or 1.3. You will also need some more RAM, preferably the A501 512k "trapdoor" card or one of its popular third-party clones.
99
100The A501 Slow RAM expansion for the A500, and the A500+, A2000, A3000, and A4000 have a [=NiCd=] battery to back up the clock. With age, these batteries leak acid onto the motherboard, destroying any nearby traces or pins. If you're interested in an Amiga on eBay, demand to see a picture of the battery before you buy it. If there are signs of battery leakage and corrosion, find another one, or try to negotiate a lower price and repair the traces and sockets yourself if you're handy with a soldering iron and multimeter.
101
102If you're a hardware maniac, however, the A1200 is the computer for you (unless you're willing and able to fork over the money for an [=AmigaOne=]-series machine, or you're willing to forego compatibility for raw power, in which case the A4000 is for you). It can be upgraded more than any other Commodore-era "classic" Amiga model, allowing you to install PCI cards (even graphics) with a busboard expansion, add a [=PowerPC=] processor, and even make it play nicely with the Wi-Fi network you have at home.
103
104AGA machines, specifically the [=A4000T=], while even more upgradeable and powerful than the A1200, have quirks that impedes backwards compatibility with certain pieces of software, especially games,[[note]]For example, the AGA graphics chipset do not support Chunky Graphics mode, causing slowdowns in certain pieces of software[[/note]] and thus are not recommended if your intention of ownership is to play Amiga games. We should also warn that even used AGA machines are usually ludicrously expensive. However, AGA machines are the go-to where non-linear video editing is concerned, as it's the recommended platform for running Video Toaster, the KillerApp of the Amiga among production studios in the 80s and 90s, especially when it has been upgraded with a [=PowerPC=] CPU co-processor kit.
105
106As of 2016, a new FPGA accelerator board known as the [[http://www.apollo-computer.com/ Apollo Vampire]] hit the market, originally for the A600, and later, the A500 (which also works in the A1000 and A2000, with CPU slot adapters being made for the A2000 specifically to use the Vampire). For roughly the same price as an A1200, you get a 68080 CPU core that trounces even the 68060 in performance, 128 MB of RAM (which, by Amiga standards, is ''ludicrous''), a SAGA (Super AGA) custom chipset reimplementation with retargetable graphics (RTG) and HDMI output, the ability to add cheap Ethernet modules for networking, and on the A500 version, an [=IDE/Parallel ATA=] controller and interface. On top of that, a standalone version for the V4 generation of the Vampire is under development, with no reliance on existing Amiga motherboards.
107
108This upgrade alone, while unquestionably expensive (300 EUR/370 USD at time of writing), puts the [=OCS/ECS-era=] Amiga models on a level above and beyond the AGA ones, particularly those lacking 68060 accelerators and RTG cards that would normally sell for thousands of dollars by themselves.
109
110There's also Amiga Forever, which is a collection (sold either as an [=ISO9660=] image or a physical CD) containing system ROM images and OS disk images for all Commodore-era hardware and OS versions (that is, up to 3.1), for use in an emulator (such as [=WinUAE=], E-UAE, or UAE).
111
112There is also now an OS for the Platform/RaspberryPi called [[https://gunkrist79.wixsite.com/amibian Amibian]] that, when fed the official Kickstart ROM files, will allow emulation of a large number of Amiga machines from an SD card.
