The British Amiga games magazine Amiga Power ( AP ) had a long running gag about Hired Guns.

Amiga Power called it the most eagerly awaited game of 1992.

Amiga Power described how review copies had only been released to the press a few days before the game went on sale, and concluded by stating that " it's probably because the graphics are good that the game plays so poorly-every move the robots make takes so many frames of animation, and so much memory, and so many months of rendering with 3D Studio, that it simply wouldn't have been possible to make the gameplay any more complicated than it is.

Amiga Computing praised the new main theme music.

However, poor marketing and failure to repeat the technological advances of the first systems meant that the Amiga quickly lost its market share to competing platforms, such as the fourth generation game consoles, Apple Macintosh and IBM PC compatibles.

In 1994, Commodore filed for bankruptcy and its assets were purchased by Escom, a German PC manufacturer, who created the subsidiary company Amiga Technologies.

At its core, the Amiga has a custom chipset consisting of several coprocessors, which handle audio, video and direct memory access independently of the Central Processing Unit ( CPU ).

This architecture freed up the Amiga's processor for other tasks and gave the Amiga a performance edge over its competitors, particularly in terms of video-intensive applications and games.

The Amiga chipset can genlock: adjust its own screen refresh timing to match an NTSC or PAL video signal.

This was a powerful video effects board which turned the Amiga into an affordable video processing computer which found its way into many professional video environments.

Seeing a chance to gain some leverage, Tramiel immediately used the contract to counter-sue Commodore through its new subsidiary, Amiga, on August 13.

The company's computer systems, especially the C64 and Amiga series, retain a cult-following among their users decades after its demise.

It should be noted that both Commodore and Amiga product line still exist today, but separately with Amiga being its own company.

However, Commodore UK lost its financial backing after several larger companies, including Gateway Computers and Dell Inc., became interested, primarily for Commodore's 47 patents relating to the Amiga.

On March 15, 2004, Amiga, Inc. announced that on April 23, 2003 it had transferred its rights over past and future versions of the Amiga OS ( but not over other intellectual property ) to Itec, LLC, later acquired by KMOS, Inc., a Delaware company.

On March 16, 2005, KMOS, Inc. announced that it had completed all registrations with the State of Delaware to change its corporate name to Amiga, Inc. Several companies produce Amiga hardware and software today.

* Dark Seed and its sequel, Dark Seed II, both adventure games for the Amiga, Amiga CD32, Macintosh and the PC, were published by Cyberdreams.

The 68000 became the dominant CPU for Unix based workstations including Sun workstations and Apollo / Domain workstations, found its way into heralded computers such as the Apple Lisa and Macintosh, Amiga, Atari ST, and was used in the first generation of desktop laser printers including the original Apple Inc. LaserWriter and the HP LaserJet.

The chipset which gave the Amiga its unique graphics features consists of three main " custom " chips ; Agnus, Denise, and Paula.

Under normal circumstances, the Amiga generates its own video timings, but the chipset also supports synchronising itself to an external signal so as to achieve genlocking with external video hardware.

Because of its minimal overhead and low cost, the shareware model is often the only one practical for distributing non-free software for abandoned or orphaned platforms such as the Atari ST and Amiga.

An often cited aspect of the ST demo scene was its rivalry with its fellow 16 bit computer the Amiga.

The fourth generation competed with the P5 Pentium line, but it was not nearly as widely used as its predecessors, since much of the old 68000 marketplace was either defunct or nearly so ( as was the case with Atari and NeXT ), or converting to newer architectures ( PowerPC for the Macintosh and Amiga, SPARC for Sun, and MIPS for SGI ).
