Like so many here, I was first enchanted in the early 90's by 16-bit sound cards, games on CD-ROM, flicker-free displays and hard drives. The Amiga back then handled all my business and productivity stuff just fine. Never had to worry about that, 'cept when it came to AOL & Netscape for browsing. Gaming wise, the first software I wanted a "new" personal computer for was stuff like Wing Commander, Demolition Derby, 7th Guest, Myst, etc. I wasn't a terribly big Doom or Wolfenstein 3D fan - certainly not enough to sway me totally from the Amiga. But it was some of the other 3D polygonal and photo realistic shooters, racing, RPG and general multimedia stuff that first made me raise my eyebrows and think hmmm... maybe this Amiga thing is really starting to show its age
I really liked some of the more advanced space trading trading games starting to come out for the Miggy, but they were usually short of features AND ran too slow if you didn't buy the (already back then) overpriced accelerator cards. Hate to say it, but it was literally cheaper to get a clone with a fancier processor, jam packed with all the multimedia goodies you could want for LESS than or around the same cost of many Miggy accelerators and that still holds true today :lol:
