Basically they didn't accept that Amiga is a computer of the past and a nice toy from their childhood and are still struggling to create new "Amigas" that would compete with modern PCs and conquer the world one day.
So there are little companies that build some mutant PCs running some mutant Linux and they call it Amigas. All the companies fight with each other who is the true Amiga descendant. And the same is about Amiga fans. They are most active when it comes to flamewaring about which new Amiga and which new OS is most Amigan.
That's why we have no games for calssing Amigas :(
Agreed about the sucking part, however to be fair, the Spectrum and other 8bits had built in obsolescence, whereas the Amiga was a machine with an upgrade path akin to a Macintosh or PC, so for a portion of ex/Amiga users this makes it harder to just let it stay in the past like the C64, especially when you consider that Apple was itself teetering on bankruptcy around '96/'97, and look at them now. It explains why I'm much more into retro 8bits & consoles. The Amiga just got it right and up till the latter part of the 90s was still my preferred machine, and it's telling, being an extensive user of both PC & Mac, that IMHO Mac OS & Windows got better when they became more Amiga-like with OS X & Win XP - but I still wish I was using FLStudio under AmigaOS rather than Windows as I think the Amiga, in a large part, has claim to the birth of DAW software with OctaMED.
BTW; Hall of Light may not have updated its own database, I'm sure some games have been released via Aminet etc. Sorry for continuing off-topic.
