Hector_McG,

An 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.
