Definition
- Amiga is the name for a family of computers originally developed as a video games machine but launched as a general-purpose personal computer for the home market by Commodore International in 1985. The name Amiga was chosen both because of its meaning in Spanish and Portuguese and because it preceded Atari and Apple alphabetically. [Source: Encyclopedia of Play in Today's Society; Amiga]
