ScuzzBlog: Diaries March 2020 Entry 21st March 2020: Post 01: Amiga 500 - Launch date. Amiga 500 - Launch date. I had intended completing my little feature on the Amiga 500 Plus by celebrating probably the most successful of Amiga models, the very wonderful Amiga 500. Problem has been finding magazine pages covering the launch of the A500 and 2000 given that they predate most of the UK based Amiga magazines. The A500 was launched in the May of 1987 and so I needed to raid the pages of Amiga World to feature the beginning of this incredible computer. Interestingly, both the A500 and A2000 had little coverage during 1987 other than the launch specs. Many later editions did tend to reflect a growing concern amongst Amiga 1000 users. However by the end of the year most of the adverts focussed on the newer models. There is little doubt that both the 500 and 2000 were significant in establishing the Amiga as a serious computer for both work and at home. Both were incredibly successful and spanned a good era of the Amiga timeline. It was with heavy heart and much sadness that the Amiga community bid farewell to their cherished Amiga 500 and 2000s in favour of the later models post 1992. Anyhoo.. here are those pages from Amiga World covering the period March to November 1987. Definitely a good year. Amiga 500 - Launch date.
