Hmmm, the first time I ever SAW an Amiga, I was in Games and Gadgets (now Electronics Boutique)around 1986. It was running Marble Madness. That game was UNREAL for 86.
Then I went over to a friends house and he had a 500. He was running some adventure game and then in the background he was downloading a file. Blew my mind!
I was strictly a C64/128 guy at that point. Seeing what this guy's amiga could do was something that I couldnt comprehend. I went to college in 89 and lost interest in computers for a few years, but in 93 I got my first miggy, a 1200 with a 14.4 modem and 1084. Cost me about $1500 bucks :-D I've been hooked ever since.
I used to LOVE showing off my 14 mhz amiga multitasking with 10 megs vs the top of the line 486es. The demos that were out at that time KILLED anything that was on a PC.
Anyone remember the amiga commerical with the ballerina? Thats the only time I remember seeing the amiga advertised on TV (US).
