Retro and current gen gaming chat, with Trev and Stu, its the Console Shockcast! In the latest instalment of our “Saving the System” series, we turn our attention to our all-time favourite gaming platform — the legendary Commodore Amiga. Its fate was sealed the moment Commodore collapsed, but can Trev and Stu breathe new life into this classic machine? Join us as we dive into what could have been, what went wrong, and what should have been possible. This episode includes:

🎮 Thoughts on Oblivion Remastered

🖥️ Could the Amiga 1000 launch have been handled better?

✨ Why the Amiga 500 was pure perfection

📀 Should Commodore have canned the CDTV and CD32 to focus on CD-ROM add-ons?

⏳ Did the Amiga 1200 arrive too late?

⚙️ Why the 68020 CPU was already showing its age in 1992

🚀 How the unreleased AAA chipset might have kept the Amiga competitive

🔮 Imagining what successors to the A1200 and A4000 could have looked like Fire up your Workbench disks — it’s time to rewrite history.
