   Yeah, I meant the ROI for any company that may have thought of porting the   
   games from C64 to Amiga.

   I figured that was how.  I never had, or ever saw in person, an Amiga but I   
   seemed to remember that they were more of a "PC" than a gaming console (so, I   
   figured they had floppy drives rather than cartridge slots ).

   Golly, I can remember when having 64K was a big deal.  :)  But, by the   
   mid-80's the clones had 640k so 256k would be painful.
