I gotta say, Commodore Amiga and Atari ST are 16-Bit computers, that are
different to older 8-Bits. Comparing the two, the Amiga is always superior - I
am not being biased here, the technical specifications of both computers
reveals the same thing.

Apple IIGS is also, 16-Bit. It pains me to say it, but the computer was
crippled at birth by the slow processor. If it was faster, say on par with
Amiga, and coupled with a few specialised processors, it might have been able
to compete better. Somehow Apple feared that the computer might be better than
Macintosh which had no colour at the time.
