Luzur this experiment is clearly biased, those are not modern kids, those are well educated white kids from good family, of good lineage(not sure of my transaltion) . Try with the little walking bag of shits .. i mean pupils i had when i was teacher, and you'lll have a much more sadder experiment.

I like how the host is like :
"This looks pretty much like a color Macintosh.", hinting at Atari being a copycat.
And Jack Trammel being :
"Yeah." , not giving a shit.

This guy was badass.

I just found the following video on Youtube.
Not really Amiga and Commodore related by certainly applies to the "Creativity" bit...

Btw, there's a Doom version (well, more or less an engine demonstration, but...) for the all major 8-bit machines - Atari, Amstrad, C64, Spectrum - which I found, considering fact, there no a good Doom clone for 16 bit Amiga (68000 based, not the ones of PPC or '40 beast) and Atari ST (not TT, Falcon), funny.

Probably because there's kinda no point, doing it for 8-Bit is more "Look what I really can do with 8-Bit!", and there are decent Doom-clones for 020/030/040/etc such as Alien Breed 3D (the first one, not the sequel which is complete mess).

Even the high-tier Amigas didn't really have any great 3D-shooters, best ones are probably Nemac 4 and Alien Breed 3D, rest are actually pretty poorly done even though they got praises when they were released.
