English: From its launch in 1987, marketed as a games machine, the Amiga A500 was an amazing success for Commodore International, reviving the ailing sales of its hardware.

It was equipped with a 7.14MHz Motorola 68000 processor.
At the time, it was the only domestically-priced machine capable of displaying up to 4,096 colours on a display simultaneously, and was also capable of managing a 8-bit 4-track audio output at up to 28.8 kHz.
