    Two-part YouTube documentary about the history of the Amiga.


    Nostalgia Nerd: The Amiga Story
    -------------------------------
    What goes up, must come down... Welcome to the story of the
    Commodore Amiga. This is part 1 of a 2 part documentary
    exploring the history and story of the mighty Amiga from
    its conception through to its buyout by Commodore. This
    episode deals with the "up" part of the story, and takes
    place during the 1980s. It charts the conception of the
    Lorraine machine (that would become the first Commodore
    Amiga), the early years and team spent working on the
    machine, the buyout of Atari followed by Commodore, the
    launch of the original Commodore Amiga machine (later
    renamed the Amiga 1000) and the subsequent Amiga 2000 and
    Amiga 500 machines which conclude before 1989 is out.

    In the second part, we'll look at the 1990s, when the Amiga
    peaked and then fell to its regrettable demise.

    I conclude the Commodore Amiga Documentary with the second
    part of it's story. This episode is based heavily in the
    1990s. We start out with the Amiga 500 and the UK Batman
    Pack, before moving on through the further developments,
    staff changes, The Commodore CDTV, Amiga 500+, Amiga 600,
    Amiga CD32, Amiga 1200, Amiga 4000, Amiga 3000 and the later
    models and revisions. We go through the peak of Commodore
    and the Amiga and it's downfall and the various factors
    which influenced its fall from grace.
