Your Definition

A semi-popular personal computer, created by (among others) [Jay] Miner, a systems designer at Atari. It was eventually purchased and released by Commodore in 1985, built around the Motorola 680x0 CPU and several custom co-processors.  It sported a 32-bit preemptive multitasking operating system known as "Kickstart"; an intuitive GUI "Workbench"; 4096 color high resolution screens; four channel stereo 8-bit audio, and a host of other high performance multimedia features.

Due to mismanagement, lack of marketing/R&D, and the general state of seediness that thrived at the post Jack Tramiel Commodore, the Amiga was never a commercial success in the [United States], though it did enjoy fame in Europe as a game system.

Popular applications for the Amiga included desktop video (which, as the Macintosh did with desktop publishing, the Amiga practically created), audio production, computer art, [scientific research], and, of course, video games.  Jurassic Park, Babylon 5, and even The Simpsons and Ren and Stimpy used Amigas for special effects in varying degrees, to name jsut a few of the more well-known entertainment products.

The Amiga was at the heart of the world's first 32-bit CD [video game console], the CD32.
