Unofficial AmigaOne clones were developed by Italian hardware company, Acube. The current owner of the trademark, Amiga, Inc, licensed the rights to sell hardware using the Amiga or AmigaOne brand to computer vendors Commodore USA, Eyetech Group, Ltd. However, in 2000, Gateway sold the Amiga brand without having released any products.

The Amiga brand was then sold to another PC manufacturer, Gateway 2000, which had announced grand plans for it.
However, Escom in turn went bankrupt in 1997. They re-released the A1200 and A4000T, and introduced a new 68060 version of the A4000T. In 1994, Commodore filed for bankruptcy and its assets were purchased by Escom, a German PC manufacturer, who created the subsidiary company Amiga Technologies. Commodore later released other Amiga models, both for low-end gaming use and high-end productivity use. The following year the Amiga product line was expanded with the introduction of two new models: the Amiga 2000 for high-end graphics and business use, and the Amiga 500 for home use. The first model was released in 1985 as simply "The Amiga from Commodore", later to be retroactively dubbed the Amiga 1000. In order to bring the design to market Commodore International bought Amiga Corporation and funded development.

A prototype of the full computer was shown to the public for the first time at the Summer Consumer Electronics Show in 1984. It was initially intended to be a next generation video game machine, but was redesigned as a general purpose computer after the North American video game crash of 1983. Since the demise of Commodore, various groups have marketed successors to the original Amiga line, including Genesi, Eyetech, ACube Systems and A-EON Technology, and AmigaOS has influenced replacements, clones and compatible systems such as MorphOS, AmigaOS 4 and AROS.ĭevelopment of the Amiga began in 1982 with Jay Miner, developer of the Atari 800 chip set, as the principal hardware designer of Amiga Corporation. The relatively powerful processor and ability to access several megabytes of memory led to the development of several 3D rendering packages, including LightWave 3D and Aladdin 4D. The Amiga's native ability to simultaneously play back multiple digital sound samples made it a popular platform for early " tracker" music software. It also found a prominent role in the desktop video, video production, and show control business, leading to affordable video editing systems such as the Video Toaster. The platform became particularly popular for gaming and demos. It was also a less expensive alternative to the Apple Macintosh and IBM PC as a general-purpose business or home computer. īased on the Motorola 68000 family of microprocessors, the machine sports a custom chipset with graphics and sound capabilities that were unprecedented for the price, and a pre-emptive multitasking operating system called AmigaOS.Īlthough early Commodore advertisements attempted to cast the computer as an all-purpose business machine, the Amiga was most commercially successful as a home computer, with a wide range of games and creative software. However, poor marketing and failure to repeat the technological advances of the first systems meant that the Amiga quickly lost its market share to competing platforms, such as the fourth generation game consoles, Apple Macintosh and IBM PC compatibles. Second generation Amiga systems (the A1200 and the A4000) were released in 1992.
The Amiga went on to sell approximately six million units. In North America success was more modest. The best selling model, the Amiga 500, was introduced in 1987 and became the leading home computer of the late 1980s and early 1990s in much of Western Europe.

The Amiga provided a significant upgrade from 8-bit computers, such as the Commodore 64, and the platform quickly grew in popularity among computer enthusiasts. The first model was launched in 1985 as a high-end home computer and became popular for its graphical, audio and multi-tasking abilities. The Amiga is a family of personal computers sold by Commodore in the 1980s and 1990s. The Amiga 1000 (1985) was the first model released
