I got the 'Screen Gems' pack , must have been some time around 1989. I wanted an Amiga after seeing my mate's A2000 (well it belonged to his Dad, and i think it had a 286 bridgeboard, whoa!) I pleaded with my Mum to get it, and she stumped up the 400 quid (Pounds) (which as someone else said was a lot of money back then...) I remember watching the intro to Shadow of the Beast II, that blew me away....
I also remember hankering after a 512kb expansion, when I got it I was well happy, I could play Prince of Persia at last!
I used my Amiga for playing around really, no homework ever got done, I was always glued to it from when I got in to when i went to bed.
Stuff I used a lot:
Med/Octamed
Deluxe Paint II
A few games
Demodisks (does anyone remember Jesus on Es?)
The 'Grapevine' disk mag
Blitz Basic (toward the end)
Hell, i even bought Paul Overaa's "Mastering Amiga Assembler". Have been reading that recently actually. Back then I thought it was too complicated and i was too young. 12 years later I realise (after gaining knowledge of programming and electronics) that he is a terrible author.
But I s'pose that was back in the days before books such as "Turning your PC on for Dummies".
Hell look at all the 'lamers' that use 'puters these days....
