Base for a lot of computers (GUI, Mac, Atari, Amiga, Next  etc) arcades and Arcades! Expensive but with a fantastic assembler-language.

The after mainframe-area (based on c and co) was driven by coding near the hardware to get more speed. espacially in games. So Assembler was important.

Apples erste Mac-Generation nutzte ihn. Der Amiga wurde von ihm inspiriert und um ihn entwickelt, wie auch der Atari ST. Der MC68000-Prozessor von Motorola wurde der Standard für die Homecomputer-Nachfolge der legendären 8-Bitterund zeitweise eine ernstzunehmender Alternative zu IBM-PCs.

"Motorola's Advanced Computer System on Silicon" war der sperrige Name, unter dem 1976 die Entwicklung des MC68000 und damit der Ursprung der 68k-Generation begann. Motorola orientierte sich beim Architekturdesign an den legendären IBM360-Mainframes, allerdings mit linearen Adressbereich; die Entwickler scherten sich auch sonst nicht um alte Zöpfe der frühen CPU-Entwicklung, sondern schnitten sie einfach ab.

GESPAC SA was a Swiss company who designed the G-64/96 Bus in 1979. This interface bus concept provides a simple way to interface microprocessor modules with memory and peripheral modules on a parallel bus. The G-64/96 Bus uses a simple, yet modern and powerful interface scheme which allows a higher level of functionality from the single height Eurocard form factor. The low overhead of the G-64/96 Bus interface greatly eases the design of custom boards by the User. This is why, even many years after its invention, the G-64/96 Bus is still widely used in the industry.

this computers came with an operating system, gui-based and mouse. basic was a prg to use (not anymore line based). there were some new styles of basics coming up like gfa-basic, omikron-basic (atari st). 
and the most games were coded in assembler (68000 was a god processor for assembler). so you had to buy assembler, which was not included.

very important also for the developers of games. it was knowhow. the ground language.
