For the Amiga, the AGA A1200 version with 256-colour graphics was available on 9 double-density floppy disks.

Shortly afterwards, a 64-colour Amiga 500 edition was created so that any Amiga could play it, and finally a CD32 version was released on CD with 256-colour graphics and voice acting.

This was the first Amiga adventure game to feature full voice acting, but only on the CD version.

The Amiga version of Simon the Sorcerer received generally high ratings.

The game was originally created by Andy Davidson as an entry for a Blitz BASIC programming competition run by the Amiga Format magazine, a cut-down version of the programming language having been covermounted previously.

It was also the last version released for the Commodore Amiga platform from which the game originated.

An Amiga version is available, although it has been discontinued and released as open source.

As a result, many Amiga games of this period were, in most cases, identical to the ST version.

Atari responded by releasing the Atari STE in 1989, an " enhanced " version of the ST to match the specification of the Amiga 500 by adding a blitter, more colors and DMA driven digital audio.

It was heavily hyped upon its initial release, including being bundled with the newly launched Amiga 1200, although not the AGA version with enhanced graphics which followed later.

The Amiga CD32 version has original red book audio tracks by Neil Biggin and has the option to have both sound effects and music.

This and the Acorn Archimedes port are the only two incarnations of the original Amiga version to have this.

Reviews for the Amiga version of the game were mostly very positive, including 97 % in Amiga Computing, 95 % in Amiga Format, 91 % in CU Amiga and 90 % in Amiga Power.

The Lost Vikings was originally released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, then subsequently released for the Amiga, Amiga CD32, MS-DOS, and Sega Mega Drive / Sega Genesis systems the next year ; the Mega Drive / Genesis version contains five stages not present in any other version of the game.

He was a pioneer in computer-generated art using Amiga computers that were introduced in 1985, just before his death in 1987.

The Amiga 1000 ( 1985 ) was the first model released

The best selling model, the Amiga 500, was introduced in 1987 and became the leading home computer of the late 1980s and early 1990s in much of Western Europe.

Although early Commodore advertisements attempted to cast the computer as an all-purpose business machine, the Amiga was most commercially successful as a home computer, with a wide range of games and creative software.

The first model was released in 1985 as simply " The Amiga from Commodore ", later to be retroactively dubbed the Amiga 1000.

The following year the Amiga product line was expanded with the introduction of two new models: the Amiga 2000 for high-end graphics and business use, and the Amiga 500 for home use.

The Amiga brand was then sold to another PC manufacturer, Gateway 2000, which had announced grand plans for it.

The Motorola 68000 series of microprocessors was used in all Amiga models from Commodore.

Commodore's design choice to remain with the 68000 architecture ensured that code was backward-compatible across the Amiga line.

The NewTek Video Toaster was made possible by the genlock ability of the Amiga.

The Amiga was one of the first home computers for which inexpensive sound sampling and video digitization accessories were available.

It is also possible to ignore the 68k CPU and run Linux on the PPC ( project Linux APUS ), but a PowerPC native AmigaOS promised by Amiga Technologies GmbH was not available when the PowerUP boards first appeared.

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.

The language was mildly successful within the Amiga community.

Today the language has declined in popularity along with the Amiga computer for which it was written.

The Amiga Skyline BBS software was the first in 1987 featuring a script markup language communication protocol called Skypix which was capable to give the user a complete graphical interface, featuring rich graphic content, changeable fonts, mouse-controlled actions, animations and sound.

By this time, however, many CBM users had shifted their attention to the 16 / 32-bit Amiga, and the 1581 was mostly sold to remaining GEOS users.

During development in 1983, Amiga had exhausted venture capital and was desperate for more financing.

The Atari Museum has acquired the Atari-Amiga contract and Atari engineering logs revealing that the Atari Amiga was originally designated as the 1850XLD.

At around the same time that Tramiel was in negotiations with Atari, Amiga entered into discussions with Commodore.

While this rivalry was in many ways a holdover from the days when the Commodore 64 had first challenged the Atari 800 ( among others ) in a series of scathing television commercials, the events leading to the launch of the ST and Amiga only served to further alienate fans of each computer, who fought vitriolic holy wars on the question of which platform was superior.
