The Amiga 500 – also known as the A500 (or its code name Rock Lobster) – was the first “low-end” Commodore Amiga 16/32-bit multimedia home/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. Before Amiga 500 was shipped Commodore suggested that the list price of the Amiga 500 was $595.95 USD without a monitor.
