I know a few of these are not quite right:

I remember hearing that the Amiga was not used after all.
They used a Mac II instead.

>* Used by NBC for Amazing Stories opening scene graphics; 
No way. I remember seeing how they made those opening graphics. They used
super workstations on it, I think a Pixar was used to render the graphics.
There was a show on computer animation and graphics that showed this and
many other animations were made for TV and movies. Besides, wasn't Amazing
Stories B.A.? (Before Amiga)

They used Amigas for the graphic overlays when showing what was on
the camera that whats-his-name (Max's alter ego) was carrying.
