Amiga 1000/500/2000
Amiga 1080/1084+
Amiga 1010+
Most anything NewTek
Most everything Cinemaware
Most everything EA
Everything DKB
Everything ICD
Everything GVP
Everything Sunrize

Legacy wise that is. How can you pick just 10?  :lol:

1. Amiga 3000D.
2. Warp Engine 3040 and 4040.
3. CV64 and Picasso IV, and I'd add the Retina BLT Z3.
4. X-Surf 100 and Ariandne I (Not the II)
5. Delfina Plus, Melody ZII, and Prelude with Mpegit (Hopefully Prisma soon).
6. PhonePak
7. Mediator Di boards for 3000 and 4000.
8. Grex for the 4000.
9. CheckItOut.
10. Organizer.

the Video Toaster has to be #1
I know this is NTSC only, but this is really what put Amiga on the map here in the States
#2 A1000 as this started it all
#3 Magni 4004, 4004S & 4005 with Magni 4010  This was an amazing genlock
#4 Deluxe Paint series (particular III and on)
#5 A2000
#6 early GVP 68030 CPU slot boards with SCSI and memory.
#7 A3000D my personal favorite
#8 RTG boards picasso II, EGS, followed by CV 64 and Picasso IV
#9 Digipaint and DCTV
#10 GVP A500+ HD8 and A530

Sorry no AGA amigas.   They were too little to late here in the States.

These rocked my world!

1.  A500
2. DSS8+ (could be tuned for excellent sound)
3. Digital Universe
4. MasPlayer (reliable MP3 playback)
5. Picasso IV
6. Supra's Turbo28
7. Spitfire (best organizer, Palm synch)
8. Supra's memory and SCSI interfaces
9. Ordering (DIR Util)
10. Softwoods Final series of productivity applications

It's not exactly a product, but, I think Aminet deserves honorable mention as milestone in the Amiga's life, as does the Fred Fish compilations, huge software collections on CD.

Rom Switcher
Mouse Mat
1084
External Floppy
Diskettes
Trapdoor Memory upgrade / clock / co pro.
F18 Interceptor

for me these go:

Turbosound II
Delux paint III
Octamed
Protracker
Cygnus Ed
512kb ram upgrade
Blizzard 030 accelerator (which I always wanted and needed for complex stuff)
Great Amiga Demos like RSI productions
The Competition Pro Joystick
Digi View (and another scanner which could record real-time animation which I forgot the name of)
Happy memories, the product of my imagination :)
