Hard to remember what exactly was the moment.   I remember seeing screenshots in C64 mags of games and they would have "Amiga screenshot" and it looked so good.  

I had seen the game "Hostages" at a local shop that dealt mostly with Commodore hardware.  It was the coolest game I'd ever seen.  The graphics, speed etc.    I had to get myself an Amiga 500.

Another cool thing I liked was accelerators.  When adding a board actually *made a difference*.  Nowadays, an SSD drive will make a difference, but with Windows, an I7 doesnt really feel snappy over an I5.

Going from 68k to 68020 made a difference with everything.
