When I lived in Texas, it was around 1988. I was reading a game magazine that was dedicated to both Computers and game consoles.
Every time I read a computer game review they said,"It's horrible or so so on PC, doable on the Mac, but if you have the money to afford it, BUY IT ON THE AMIGA!!!".
Having read that a few dozen times, I knew what I wanted and that desire was confirmed every time I walked into a Computer Store in the mall, though I was not able to afford an Amiga until around 94 or 95. I began with a 500, then updated to a 1200 and have pretty well near had at least one around since then.
