The Amiga is a family of home/personal computers originally developed by Amiga Corporation as an advanced home entertainment and productivity machine.

Based on the Motorola 68k series of 16-bit and 32-bit microprocessors, the Amiga provided a significant upgrade from 8-bit computers such as the Commodore 64, and the Amiga quickly grew in popularity among computer enthusiasts, especially in Europe. It also found a prominent role in the video production and show control business.

Considered "ahead of its time" due to being built from the ground up as a multimedia and multitasking machine, it was a less-expensive alternative to the Apple Macintosh and IBM-PC. Amiga also had arguably better hardware for the price than those two alternatives. The Amiga community has accused Commodore of poor marketing, resulting in the Amiga mostly being sold as a home-gaming machine, although early Commodore advertisements attempted to place the Amiga into several different markets at the same time.
