The Amiga 500, also known as the A500 (or its code name 'Rock Lobster'), was the first low-end Commo-dore Amiga 16/32-bit multimedia home and personal computer. It was announced at the winter Consumer Electronics Show in January 1987, at the same time as the high-end Amiga 2000, and competed directly against the Atari 520ST. The Amiga 500 represented a return to Commodore's roots, being sold in the same mass retail outlets as the Commodore 64 to which it was a spiritual successor. Although popular with hobbyists, arguably its most widespread use was as a gaming machine, where its advanced graphics and sound for the time were of significant benefit. A two-button mouse was included in the computer pack. The year of release has been linked with the serial number.
