  Amiga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first Amiga computer, simply called the Amiga (and conspicuously devoid of references to Commodore), was released in 1985 by Commodore, who marketed it both as their intended successor to the Commodore 64 and as their competitor against the Atari ST.
Overall, the Amiga was very successful in Europe, but it sold less than a million units in the U.S. In 1992, Commodore released their last Amiga computer models, the A1200 and the A4000: Each featured the new AGA chipset and the third release of AmigaOS.
The Amiga 600 was originally supposed to be the Amiga 300, a very low-cost "introductory" model, but in an attempt to cut costs plans from CBM management changed at the last minute, and it was instead marketed as the successor to the 500 and the 500+.
