It was impressive for the time. Even to this day, I see text- crawls on Windows based "infotainment" LCD screens in stores and supermarkets that are glitchy and jerky.
The Amiga had a very good real-time OS that made smooth video crawls possible way back then. I can list a bunch of companies that never got Windows to reliably work with serious, real-time multitasking applications for their product development back then.

intense what the Amiga could do as a serious multimedia-tool back 20 years ago! Still got my A500 ;)
All this stuff that we now take for granted, it all began here. It may not look like much today, but no Mac, no PC could do any of these video tricks back then. Amiga died and it still took a good five years for Mac and PC to overtake them.

The Amiga was quite a machine in its day. Its too bad it didn't become more mainstream than it did. A Multitasking, Multithreaded operating system that could run from floppies and use less than 4MB of RAM comfortably. I'd like to see M$ do that! hahahaha :)
