The Commodore Amiga is a family of personal computers that were first introduced in 1985 by Commodore International. The Amiga was designed to be a high-end multimedia machine that could handle advanced graphics, sound, and video, which was a significant departure from the simple text-based computing machines of the time.
The Amiga's hardware was ahead of its time, with features like custom chips that allowed for advanced graphics and sound processing, a multitasking operating system, and a sophisticated user interface. The Amiga's multimedia capabilities made it an attractive platform for creative professionals, such as video editors, musicians, and game developers.
