Common amiga knowledge that's wrong

I won't speculate on what killed Commodore the company.  BUT I have to tell you that for my friends and I who had Amiga 500s at the time, DOOM was definitely the thing that made us (I had about 7 friends with Amiga 500s) switch from playing on the old 500s to the PC.  Before that, the PC was just a boring work box.  DOOM and all the 3D games that followed were the reason that I bought tons of video boards, CPUs and RAM for my PC and why my Amiga sat in the closet until last year.   Just telling you what happened from my perspective (in my early 20s at the time), because I lived it.

I also think that MP3s had an effect maybe even the same as Doom. My 040/28 A2000 was able to play them, however you could not do much else.

Or 3D  

3D literally killed my interest in video gaming and that's fine, because I was already in my mid-late 20's when it became all the rage, BUT! It's fine for driving and maybe the occasional shooter, just a shame it became the standard for almost any genre now though.

Yeah, but also before doom the Adventure games, think Lucasfilm, Sierra, etc were all starting to also get better on the PC.
