Comment on The Amiga Is Getting A Dune II Remaster From One Of The Original Developers | Time Extension
Hector_McG@programming.dev 4 months agoAn early 16 bit home computer based on the 68000 microprocessor. Versions released from the late 80s to the early 90s. It earned a cult following because it was the first home computer to have arcade quality graphics and sound (80s and 90s arcade games, obs).
It had a decent OS and business software, but at heart it was a gaming computer. It lost out to the home consoles, partly because as a fully fledged computer, piracy was rife, so big games developers moved to the very locked-down games consoles instead.

That’s really neat, I’ve played a few DOS era games but I didn’t think that sort of home computer hardware was around in the mid 80s.
