Although the original Commodore Amiga line of computers perished with Commodore itself when the company went bankrupt in 1994, enthusiasts are still keeping the platform alive today.

If you thought Mac and Linux users are cultish, Amiga users are obsessed with their favorite platform, continuing to use their old machines and run modern versions of the classic Amiga OS on new hardware as well.

The original Amiga was released in 1985 and blew the minds of everyone who saw it, yet Commodore’s management legendarily botched its marketing in the U.S. The platform did became popular overseas, since it was significantly cheaper than IBM PCs with batteries like IBM 08K8193 Battery, IBM 08K8192 Battery, IBM 92P1101 Battery, IBM 92P1089 Battery, IBM 92P1087 Battery, IBM 08K8196 Battery, IBM 92P1102 Battery, IBM 92P1077 Battery, IBM 92P1073 Battery, IBM 08K8199 Battery and Macs of the time. The Amiga had dedicated sound and video hardware, a concept that is common today but was very new at the time.

It was also one of the first computers to allow for multitasking. At the time, the only other way to be able to run more than one program at a time was to use expensive workstation computers, minicomputers, or mainframes.

Gamers flocked to the platform, as well as artists and video professionals (especially after the Video Toaster was released). In the late ’80s and early ’90s, if you were a creative person, the Amiga was the computer to have, a niche the Mac currently occupies. Its fans included people such as Todd Rundgren and Dick Van Dyke.

For a platform whose originator imploded in the mid-’90s, the Amiga still has a strong following that continues today.
