Wow, a nostalgia trip!

After being a C64 fan for many years I got my first Amiga in 1986 and it was an A1k. I had many fun hours playing Defender of the Crown (my first game) and, eventually, other Cinemaware games.

I had a friend who's aunt had an IBM clone and we used to play The Bards Tale on it all the time.  The shock they had when I first showed it (the Amiga version of the Bard's Tale) to them on the Amiga.  It looked and sounded so much better.

After picking up a second hand Amiga 500 in the early 90's the memories of early LucasArts adventures really come to mind.  Loom, Monkey Island 1 and 2, Indy and the Fate of Atlantis.  Also remember playing Populous a lot and Lemmings too.  I had tons of games but those stick out the most.  After a while games were coming out more for Wintel than they were for Amiga.  It's a shame too.

Amiga to me was a superior machine with superior OS in a time when Mac was black and white and Microsoft was command prompt or early Windows.  Other than the Atari ST Anything else was 8 bit.  The Amiga was, in other words, better.

I miss those day. :-(
