[News] X68000: Amiga-clone? ANN.lu Posted on 01-Feb-2000 16:07 GMT by Christian Kemp 7 comments View flat View list Julian Cassin writes: I was looking around the net and I came across a reference to an Amiga clone computer made in Japan called an X68000. I searched on Altavista to see what I could find, and the following links which are interesting came up - it appears to be 'very' Amiga-like from the descriptions with a very Amiga-like OS - have a look at the following links... retroplay.com/Mecenate/X68000/start.html web.onyxnet.co.uk/John.Stringer-Oxford.onyxnet.co.uk/x68_sys.htm www.computingmuseum.com/museum/x6816c.htm While this seems to be entirely independent from the Amiga, it is still surprising how often the name "Amiga" is mentioned on the X68000 pages.

One of the artists always used to take it home to play Super Hang-On which was perfect to the arcade. I think we only had that an another game for it. It never got used for anything.
