I think the point about the Amiga for me was, that it wasn't just a games console.
On action games, I liked my SNES that I bought in 1994 a lot more than I ever did the like the Amiga.
But there was this whole cosmos of text and graphics adventure games, simulators, scene demos, RPGs, gfx programs, weirdo stuff like Popoulus and Powermonger and Lemmings, plus trying to create your own stuff with it etc...

The Amiga is still my biggest computer love because of that.
It's only weird that it had this cool chipset, and action game coders (with a few exceptions like Sales Curve and Factor 5) back then were not able to make more out of it.
