The Amiga, a groundbreaking line of computers, was initially developed by Amiga Corporation in the early 1980s, led by visionary engineer Jay Miner. Originally conceived as a gaming console with advanced multimedia capabilities, it evolved into a versatile personal computer after the video game crash of 1983. Commodore International acquired Amiga Corporation in 1984, and the first Amiga computer, the Amiga 1000, was launched in 1985. Renowned for its advanced graphics, sound, and multitasking features, the Amiga outclassed competitors like the Apple Macintosh and Atari ST. Despite its technical brilliance and devoted fanbase, the Amiga's potential was hindered by corporate mismanagement and limited marketing.
