4000 Amiga games with emulator pack 5 of 6 [ENG][tntvillage.org]  


The Amiga is a family of personal computers originally developed by 
Amiga Corporation. Development on the Amiga began in 1982 with Jay Miner
 (1932-1994) as the principal hardware designer. Commodore International
 introduced the machine to the market in 1985, after having bought Amiga
 Corp. The machine sported a custom chipset with advanced graphics and
sound capabilities, and a sophisticated 32-bit pre-emptive multitasking
 operating system, now known as AmigaOS. The name amiga was selected by
 the developers specifically from the Spanish word for a female friend.

Based on the Motorola 68k series of 32-bit microprocessors, the Amiga 
provided a significant upgrade from 8-bit computers such as the 
Commodore 64, and the Amiga quickly grew in popularity among computer
 enthusiasts, especially in Europe. It also found a prominent role in 
the video production and show control business, and was a less-expensive 
alternative to the Apple Macintosh and IBM-PC. The Amiga was most 
commercially successful as a home computer, although early Commodore 
advertisements attempted to place the Amiga into several different 
markets at the same time.
