   The Amiga is not mentioned anywhere in the credits (I also stay to watch
those sometimes, too).  However, Microsearch (at the time, the amiga dealer
here in Houston) was mentioned as providing the computer graphics for the
film.  The only reason Apple was mentioned was the producers got Apple's
permission to use the "look and feel" of Macintosh in the film.  (So that's
why Robo II lost!  He was run by a Macintosh! :)  Rather than risk a law
suit, they got permission and Apple probably said you must mention our
computer in the credits.
