I hated amiga "Gaming" by and large.  That whole "boot off a floppy disk, don't have an expanded machine, no this won't install on that $500 10mb HD you just bought, oh and it runs in PAL so expect difficulties there, too" was just crap.  Utter, utter crap.  I wanted a general purpose computer that had games available for it.  I think the A500 with a half meg of fast half meg of chip scene crippled Amiga development as much as penny-pinching by money siphoning upper management.

Flight sims?  Yeah, loved those on the Amiga.  RPGs, too.
Back away from the EU-SSR!
