Ahhh! :D the good ole Amiga VS Atari VS C64 VS Spectrum war sill raging on after this much decade? I tough we can only talk about Console VS PC war only to be replaced, Desktop VS laptop VS Mobile VS tablet?!

Well, the lesson in there?

War, War never changes.

I never kept up to date with what was happening on the Atari scene, since I was Amiga through and through. I remember the Falcon, but I don't think it sold well? And I have no idea what sort of expansion/accelerator options were available for Atari models.

Still; happy days, so many moons ago.

Yes ! Happy days. I see that decades later, the war is still open :p --- No, no no ! Atari was better than Amiga. I do not think that the Falcon had the same success as the Amiga 500 and the Atari ST because at that time, the PC became more and more popular. Fly safe Commander. And choose your side. The Empire or the Federation ... ooops! I meant the Amiga or the Atari :D ---- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_Falcon

Elite II was the main reason I talked myself into buying an A1200. Didnt the PC boys used to say that Amigas were just a "games machine"? Guess what my main use for my windoze box is :)

Thinking back, so many great computers and where are they now? the bin, given away, forgotten in some box somewhere?

2. Amstrad
3. ZX Spectrum
4.VIC20
5.C64
6. A500
7. A2000
8. PS1
9. PS2
10. PS3

PC enters my IT world

Not to mention all the joysticks, pistols and what not accumulated during the years.

Actually my first game I ever played, was pong on some kind of console I don't remember.

For my part I bought the Atari ST to use GFA Basic. Great language at the time. And later I bought FE2
