Wish you did, they were one of the most fun systems ever invented.  Had many
great games and the graphics were years ahead of it's time.

Did you know that the wormhold on DS9 was done with the Amiga and the Video
Toaster?  Babylon 5 was done much on the Amiga.

The effects were not on par with todays but for the 1980's and 1990's they were
amazing... and it allowed the production companies to do greater things with
less money.

There are still Amiga systems out there with video toasters doing effects for
small scifi productions.
