Nice setup - you have a great start into the world of Amiga! I would have loved that setup (especially the monitor) back in the 90s as well as today.

If you are talking about the final purchases back in the 90s, then I would say Beneath a Steel Sky and Sensible World of Soccer (can't recall which edition) were most likely my last purchases.
