'''Commodore'''
Prvu Amiga, jednostavno nazvanu Amiga, izdao je Commodore 1985. nigdje ne spominjući ime firme. Reklamirali su ju kao nasljednika [[Commodore 64|Commodorea 64]] i kao konkurenta tek izdanom [[Atari ST|Atariju ST]]. Poslije je preimenovana u [[Amiga 1000|Amigu 1000]] (ili skraćeno A1000). A1000 je bila prava revolucija za svoje vrijeme. Mogla je prikazati 4096 boja i svirati 4 kanala 8- bitnog stereo zvuka te je bila prva osobno računalo s operativnim sustavom s preemptive multitaskingom i [[GUI|GUIem]] (Graphical User Interface) u boji, što je omogućavalo korisnicima izvršavanje više zadatka istovremeno.
1987. Commodore je izdao 2 nova modela Amige, [[Amiga 500|Amigu 500]] i [[Amiga 2000|Amigu 2000]].
In 1987, Commodore released two new Amiga models, the A500 and the A2000. These were marketed as low-end and high-end machines, respectively. The former became the most popular Amiga computer of the decade and served primarily as a games machine, while the latter was marketed as a more serious workstation for graphic purposes, due to the presence of a SCSI controller option, a Genlock slot and a video I/O connector.
In 1990, the A3000 was introduced as the successor to both the A1000 and A2000, with an enhanced chipset (ECS) and the second release of its operating system, which would eventually be called AmigaOS.
In the same year, Commodore released three new low-end machines: the CDTV, aimed to move the platform to the living room; the A500+, with the same enhancements as the A3000; and the A600, basically an A500+ in a smaller box with an IDE controller for hard disks. All of these were commercial failures, mainly due to poor marketing.
Mass-market Amigas were then considerably cheaper than PCs and Macs at the time. This factor helped to boost sales in the more price-conscious European markets, but it also led to Commodore being viewed in U.S. markets as a producer of cheap "game machines". This perception was furthered by the fact that most Commodore retail outlets were toy stores, and marketing campaigns were woefully mismatched with the status-conscious American public. Overall, the Amiga was very successful in Europe, but it sold less than a million units in the U.S..
Other people argue that in the U.S. market, the IBM PC was already the dominant market force, expecially in the workplace. Potential buyers first question was often, "Is it IBM compatible?", allowing the user to "take work home" or more often take software home to install on their own machines. As a result, the U.S. market tended to be technophiles enamored of the Amiga's software/hardware, iconoclasts who disliked IBM, and video or graphic arts users.
In 1992, Commodore released the A1200 and the A4000: Each featured the new AGA chipset and the third release of AmigaOS.
In 1993, menaced by console giants Sega and Nintendo, Commodore marketed the CD32 in a desperate attempt to save their business. The CD32 was one of the earliest CD-based consoles and was also the world's first 32-bit game machine, with specifications similar to the A1200.
The last Amiga released by Commodore was the A4000T, in 1994Commodorea 64[[]]
The first Amiga computer, simply called the Amiga (and conspicuously devoid of references to Commodore), was released in 1985 by Commodore, who marketed it both as their intended successor to the Commodore 64 and as their competitor against the Atari ST. It was later renamed the Amiga 1000 (or A1000 for short). Revolutionary for its time, it could display 4,096 colors and produce 4 channels of 8-bit stereo digital audio. It is also notable for having the first preemptive multitasking operating system with a color GUI, allowing users to perform multiple tasks at the same time.
