Nitpicking, but the OCS ("classic") Amiga can also display 64 colors (in
half brite

/HAM mode). That's what made people's jaws drop back then.

Never owned an Amiga. HAM was used for static screens and photos, right? What were the screen modes used for actual games?

With extremely unusual exceptions, no games used HAM, because it took several frames to completely redraw the screen. 32-color was the standard.
