Important:
Be aware that the streaming quality of Steam regarging videos is sometimes slow - at least here in Germany. This might prohibit you enyoing this video.

In my case it was stuttering on Saturday in the morning and evening. On Sunday evening it worked again. All other video and streaming services worked very well the whole time period. If you are a patient person you can buy it here but otherwise buy it elsewhere e.g. as DVD on the creators web site.

The movie itself has a good quality. You can see that they spend a lot of work interviewing people and investigating facts. Some old advertisings and TV interviews are also shown.. After watching the first documentary "From Bedrooms to Billions" and enjoying it I was pleasantly surprised to find this on Steam. I bought it and was not disappointed.

Apparently I'm one of the few people in North America who proceeded to buy an Amiga 1000 as a natural upgrade from my C64. And, then, enjoyed it and my later Amiga 500 through out the rest of the 80s into the early 90s. Especially since most American's went from 8-bit computing over to the NES and later the 16-bit NES and Sega Genesis. The Amiga did a lot better in Europe and England. I am envious of them in that respect.

This video is pure nostalgia as I immensely enjoyed my time with the Amiga. I played everything from "Defender of the Crown" to the Monkey Island games and a lot of games in between.

For somebody like me this documentary scratches all the itches even though the history of Amiga and the rise and fall of Commodore is all over the Internet. It was nice to see the interviews. The documentary as a whole was put together well.

I am really hoping for more from these guys.

I think anybody who enjoys retro computing and retro gaming will find this documetary well worth their time. To think of what the Amiga could have been if it were in the hands of a more competent company.. An easy recommendation for everyone interested in the subject matter, the many (mostly) interesting recent interviews sprinkled with old footage don't provide groundbreaking new information but hearing those stories from the Amiga guys themselves adds a lot, their enthusiasm is still palpatable after all these years. We learn of the beginnings, how Commodore came into the picture, how hardware development was done in the 80s (spoiler: whiteboards), what did and didn't work marketing-wise, why the Amiga was such a big step forward and why it got received differently in Europe vs the USA. Even the demo scene gets a dedicated chapter which is commendable as they often get thrown together with common software pirates, dimishing the scene's longterm importance not only for the Amiga itself but for the gaming industy as a whole.

Only thing I found disappointing was that later Amiga models beyond the 500\/2000 didn't get covered at all, neither did Commodore's downfall. At least the A1200 and 4000 would've deserved a few minutes while some of the 'Amiga changed my life' talk towards the end could've been cut and so despite much ground getting covered the docu still feels somewhat incomplete. Only a minor nitpick though, overall there's plenty to love in here and the bonus material I've watched so far is good too.. Interesting!.

Recommended if you loved the Amiga... even if you read the books by Bagnall or Mayer.
