When I first started flying Air Warrior in early '90 on my Amiga 2000 I used a mouse. I bought an analog stick as soon as I could. The Amiga supported both digital and analog sticks. Button on the base. I moved it to top of the stick.

It's called conversation.  They will meander.

The original OP was answered as much as it possible could be here. 
In the end, only HT can answer, but he was given some rules of thumb and estimates he could use to make some broad, wild guesses.

If there is more you'd like to add, then you are free to.

I find it amusing that a conversation is branded as "antics".

I started with an Amiga too.

Had to upgrade to a 486sx25 though as my framerates weren't that great.

The days of the Amiga were numbered then. I bought a 386 @40Mhz before dumping the Amiga. Before the Amiga I had an Atari 400, Commodore 64, Commodore 128, and Atari 1040ST.

I knew some people that were Amiga fanatics. ;)  They were *almost* as bad as Apple zealots. ;)

The Amiga was a superior machine to the IBM clones in every way except marketing and consumer perception.

I have to assume so based on the loyalty.

I think it was more price and generic off the self available components though instead of proprietary components.  Didn't it have it's own architecture?

The O/S was capable of multi-tasking on arrival. It had a flat memory model up to at least 4MB. The video and sound chips were awesome for their day.

I still enjoy listening to some of the game sound music.

Wait, it had a 32 bit address bus iirc, 4GB. When IBM could address 640K.

I hear Betamax was superior platform to VHS.

Tech isn't always everything.  Business decisions can make or break superior products.
