The COMPUTE! Magazine article introducing the Amiga 1000 piqued my interest, and subsequent articles held it. My BBS buddy running his BBS on a 500 in 1990 got me even more, but I was still C64/128. But seeing Shadow of the Beast in 1991 sold me. My first 500 system bought in 1992 did not come with the game, but I realized I had this amazingly capable computer on my desk. Never once since as I moved from project to project, hobby to hobby, interest to interest, never did I consider for a second my Amiga couldn't do what I needed.
