Because we mac-heads are talking about the Amiga 500 as a game machine.
It's great for games -- specifically for the reasons stated.  The
built-in coprocessors make graphics and sound fly.

I only wish that Apple would do the same for the mac.  Even a simple
bit-blitter in hardward would enable the mac to do some cool games.
The demo of OIDS comes as close as I've seen to decent annimation
on the mac.
