Part 1 of a documentary on the Commodore Amiga, from the Lorraine prototype and the Atari and Commodore buyouts through the Amiga 1000 launch in the 1980s.

Recommended as a wonderful, thorough telling of the Amiga story in threads about the machine.

Some other pointers: "Fire in the Valley", "Soul of a New Machine", everything Maher has published on link , "Where Wizards Stay Up Late", the stories at link about the Macintosh. But bear in mind that the Mac became big, which is why it's easy to find Mac stories. There are similar stories about other communities too, though harder to find. For example, here's a 2-part story about the Amiga - ▶ this video . As a reminder, don't only read books about success, but also failure. "Startup: A Silicon Valley Adventure", about an early pen-based platform in the 1990s. And there's fiction, like "Microserfs".

Nostalgia Nerd. This is his one about the Atari ST: link And the Amiga (Part 1 of 2) ▶ this video I don't watch a lot of this stuff anymore because I've seen the story told quite a few times. Then there is Kim Justice, who does "History of <Games Company>" style videos. link

As someone who cut my teeth on an A500, I have quite the soft spot for all things Amiga. I came across a wonderful documentary of the Amiga saga on Youtube: Amiga Story by Nostalgia Nerd Part 1: ▶ this video Part 2: link
