/me pulls up to confession box
I remember seeing my first amiga in 87 (Defender of the Crown) and wanting so badly to own one ever since. It wasn't until '89 when my dream came true and consequently enjoyed many years of bliss because of it. All my friends owned a miggy, and we used to swap game tips in the school yards for hours, I made many good friends through the Amiga too. But I was also a very anti-peecee back then - I think thats what brought us Amigans closer, as we rallied together during class breaks to flaunt our h/w superiority on those poor peecee goers, hehe.
But my miggy died in '94 while playing Desert Strike. I spent over 2yrs agonizing whether I would turn to the dark side. It wasn't until Doom and windows 95 hit that I conceded to buying into the whole Peecee thing. I still felt like I was downgrading for 2 years after that! If it wasn't for the rapid development of 3D gaming, I think I would hav been using a console for my gaming needs and probably a cheap mac for work purposes.
BTW, that first amiga I saw. was from an old school buddy who I still keep in touch with. His dad still uses it for just about everything. He in my mind is a true Amigan, he makes me and my friend pale in comparison. And still plugs the old yamaha keyboard for some midi playing from time to time.
