Wow, the Amiga 600. I distinctly remember being pissed off when Commodore released this machine, and even more disgruntled that folks were buying it without realizing they were missing out on the AGA chipset, which pushed the Amiga's graphics up to 16.8 million colors. Why the heck Commodore would release another ECS (4096 color) machine as it was pushing the AGA line (16.7 million colors) in its 1200 and 4000 just doesn't make sense to me. All it created was customer and developer confusion. Commodore also never delivered on an AGA upgrade kit for the Amiga 3000 or any of its other models, but that's another story.

My dad (who for whatever reason resisted the AGA move) convinced one of his friends to buy the 600. We set it up and ran WordPerfect on it...It's hard to believe now that you could actually buy WordPerfect for an Amiga! I remember everyone being more impressed with the pack-in software--Shadow of the Beast III.
