Jay Miner along with a bright group of people aimed to create the most powerful machine ever, and it resulted in a wondrous beast.
Amiga 1000 was launched in the summer of 1985 and it was way ahead of it's time. High resolution graphics, excellent sound and multi-tasking put IBM PCs with beep noices and 16 color graphics in the shades.
During the early development stages Amiga had the codename "Lorraine", and was ment to be a computerish game console.
Kickstart was loaded from floppy disk, while most of it's successors had Kickstart in ROM.
