I used to use the Amiga, the C64 and the Tandy TRS 80, to name a few.
Frankly, I don't have any nostalgia for any of them now; but loved them back in the day. A video of your Amiga running would be cool, I think.
But of all three, the Amiga, the C64 and the TRS80 I liked the C64 the best, back in the day.

ilbmtoppm
ilbmtoppm(1) General Commands Manual ilbmtoppm(1)
NAME
ilbmtoppm - convert an ILBM file into a portable pixmap
SYNOPSIS
ilbmtoppm [-verbose] [-ignore<chunkID>] [-isham|-isehb] [-adjustcolors] [ILBMfile]
DESCRIPTION
Reads an IFF ILBM file as input. Produces a portable pixmap as output. Supported ILBM types are:
Normal ILBMs with 1-16 planes.
Amiga Extra_Halfbrite (EHB)
Amiga HAM with 3-16 planes.
24 bit.
Multiplatte (normal or HAM) pictures.
Color map (BMHD + CMAP chunk only, nPlanes = 0).
Unofficial direct color.
1-16 planes for each color component.
Chunks used:
BMHD, CMAP, CAMG (only HAM & EHB flags used), PCHG, BODY unofficial DCOL chunk to identify direct color ILBM
Chunks ignored:
GRAB, DEST, SPRT, CRNG, CCRT, CLUT, DPPV, DRNG, EPSF
Other chunks (ignored but displayed in verbose mode):
NAME, AUTH, (c), ANNO, DPI
Unknown chunks are skipped.
OPTIONS
-verbose
Give some information about the ILBM file.
-ignore <chunkID>
Skip a chunk. <chunkID> is the 4-letter IFF chunk identifier of the chunk to be skipped.
-isham | -isehb
Treat the input file as a HAM or Extra_Halfbrite picture, even if these flags or not set in the CAMG chunk (or if there is no CAMG
chunk).
-adjustcolors
If all colors in the CMAP have a value of less then 16, ilbmtoppm assumes a 4-bit colormap and gives a warning. With this option
the colormap is scaled to 8 bits.
BUGS
The multipalette PCHG BigLineChanges and Huffman decompression code is untested.
