In response to the flood of postings over the previously posted trivia, here's
some harder questions to answer.

1. Who played sax along with the Amiga at its Carnegie Hall debut?

2. Who was the original artist hired by Amiga?  What other project did he
collaborate with a famous Amiga programmer on previously?

3. What was the first game published on the Amiga and what popular IBM game did
that programmer also do?  What Amiga games has he done since?

4. What magazine announced that a new game machine from the company that makes
the powerstick was due in a month?  What year was this (hint, long before '85)?

5. What company took out a full page ad in the first Amiga World for their
product, then halted it when another company was blessed by Commodore with a
similar project?

6. What was unusual about the game Monkey Business (besides the fact that it
sucked), this is the 1.0 version?

7. What was the first magazine to put the Amiga on its cover?  What was on the
screen of that Amiga?

8. What was the first digitization in the Electronic Art's Rolling Demo? 
 
9. What prominent Mac company was thrilled to death over the Amiga at its
introduction, but never produced anything for it?

10. What type of BASIC was the Amiga ORIGINALLY supposed to have (easy one ;-)?
 
Pete, a 1000 owner.  I'm not part of Commodore.  I've just followed the Amiga
since day one.  Anyone remember the Creative Computing article that previewed
the Lorraine? :-)
