Commercial: Commodore Amiga 500 Intro Video

The Amiga 500, also known as the A500, was the first "low-end" Commodore Amiga 16/32-bit multimedia home/personal computer. It was announced at the winter Consumer Electronics Show in January 1987, at the same time as the high-end A2000, and competed directly against the Atari 520ST.

You know, today if someone says "2gigs of RAM" you just go like "ah yeah cool whatever". But when you hear "I am 512000 bytes of pure power!".... that's called RESPECT! F**k yeah! Yeah it may seem to be not a lot of memory but if you had an A500 you would know that it's a freaking MONSTER! The power, the optimisation, the functionality! Today you can only dream about those things. Modern PC have power but in terms of USING that power Amiga pwns. A machine way ahead of it's time.

You have to understand,  it was the best for it's TIME. Obviously there are MUCH better computers and software applications today. But this computer was paving the way 23 years ago to help lead up to what we have today. For it's time, this was an AMAZING computer.

LOL, never heard of that game. That's an awfully risque title for an ad promoting the Amiga as a family oriented computer.

Cmon everybody knows it Amiga was way ahead. I remember making ST and pc boys cry when they saw what my amiga could do with half the money. But history repeats know its web os dying....

@MasterNaruto1214 People who used Amiga back at that time always said that, the Amiga was maybe 10 years ahead of every PC around at that time. Unfortunate they went bankrupt in the early 90's. Amiga dead cause it never managed to beat the competition in America it was popular everwhere except cheap ass America.
