The Amiga Power System was a line of video game products introduced in 1983 by the original Amiga company, initially as add-ons for the Atari VCS. Dave Morse believed having a line of products using the same name would make retailers order more from them. The main component of the Power System was the Power Module, a cartridge which included a CPU and 6K of RAM. Any standard audio cassette recorder could be used for loading games. The module was to sell for $44.95 USD. An optional modem could also be used for interacting with other players over the phone line. [1]
