   The Amiga was not used just to develop the SEGA Genesis and the Lynx. 
It was also used to develop the Macintosh II, since they use the same
processor and only the Amiga had color (as opposed to other Macs).

  I understand why you say Super Mario is more playable and controllable.
The C64 version of it paused everytime the player fired a weapon. It just
goes to show that a)the best games go where the profit is and b)another
programmer would have made it completely differently. Some programmers are
good at making programs that are easy to use, others are not. That does not
mean that IN GENERAL Amiga programmers are bad, it just means that Nintendo
wants you to buy the better version along with a Nintendo. If I made a Mac or
IBM equivilant of my Amiga software, a)it would not be as good due to the
features of the Amiga I am used to and b) I wouldn't WANT to make it any
good! The Amiga is the first affordable computer that has the potential
to do ANYTHING, from running TV Stations to keeping track of coupons.
