I remember seeing an A1000 in the electronics store shortly after they came out and was blown away. I think I saw Marble Madness and some other demo where it sampled the "We are the champions" audio. I begged my dad for one but he wouldn't go for it. I was still in high school so no job and no prospects of getting one as a computer wasn't something my parents would ever get me. I guess I kind of forgot about the Amiga, until I got my first job in 1988 and wanted to spend my first paycheques, and I believe the Amiga was probably the first thing I bought. An A500. None of my friends were at all nerdy so I'd never known anyone with an Amiga until I bought one.
