I'm an Amiga fan, but the X68000 was released 2 years after the A1000 and was definitely a step up in power.

For comparison, here's the Amiga port of Super Street Fighter 2:

To be fair to the Amiga, there are fighting games with better graphics than the SSF2 port, but I'd say sacrifices were probably made to improve the gameplay speed.

I can't believe I never heard of this computer. Very interesting though.

The SGI computers come to mind. Completely blew everything out of the water through the mid 90s, then couldn't compete once high end graphic cards were available for the PC.

The BeBox running BeOS in the mid-1990s.

Every Unix workstation. The Acorn Archimedes. The PC Engine. The Newton.

Perhaps the Atari ST for MIDI devices.

The original iPhone?

Only for those that never had a Nokia 7710 on their hand.
