22-page 2013 controversial topic about the Amstrad CPC on an Amiga forum

[andycadley]

The Amiga is mostly a continuation of the Atari 8-bit line (for obvious reasons). The ST is a lot more like the CPC or Spectrum in that most things are achieved through sheer CPU grunt.

The C64 was mostly an evolutionary dead end, although you can see similar traits in dedicated games consoles I guess.

Audio-wise, the next evolution of the Commodore 64 was the Ensoniq digital sampling keyboard.
