Amiga 500 Screen Gems

The Screen Gems A500 bundle was available in the UK between September 1990 and July 1991. It was marketed to the games player that had grown beyond 8-bit systems, such as the Commodore 64 and Sinclair Spectrum. The four games - Night Breed, Back to the Future 2, Days of Thunder and Beast 2 were the primary focus, while Deluxe Paint 2 is mentioned in the last sentence of the promotional material. A promotional plaque was included in the package that announced the Amiga 500 was computer of the year. THe machine was fitted with Kickstart 1.3, 512k Chip RAM and 512k Fast RAM.

The Screen Gems bundle is remembered as an early experiment in the bundling of recognisable games that parents would recognise. It is fondly remembered by many current and former Amiga owners who received it.
