I have nothing against classic Amiga.
But graphics in it should be changed to something at least decent at end of 1992.

Developers on pc/mac/atari do not have to deal with bitplanes.


They did, Atari ST had up to 4 bitplanes, and mac at the time only had one bitplane - they were still monochrome in 1992 - Macintosh Color Classic came in 1993.

And PC? EGA, VGA were planar, SVGA was really where chunky became the norm.
