Upgraded to Amiga from the c64.

Defender of the crown, Faerytale Adventure and the cracktro for Firepower was jawdropping.
The 3,5 diskettes was so smooth and fast.

Nothing made me stay! I just always come back for retro and nostalgia.

Wolfenstein and Doom made me jump to the PC.

Kick OFF2 is the main reason for keeping the Amiga still connected to the telly :)


I remember seeing screenshots of Defender of the Crown (I think it was BYTE magazine) and they looked amazing at the time; however, I really got into the Amiga because of my science projects in school.  It was easier to port over Atari 800 stuff because it had similar features like DLIs, VBIs, joystick I/O, sprites, etc.  PCs were struggling with non-standard Ad-lib based audio at the time and their joystick ports were inferior to both Atari and Amiga (and still are), no sprites, CGA/EGA type graphics (bad for games, good for word processing/business type stuff), flickering games, NO VBIs, inconsistent processors/speeds, etc.
