    Thread: How old were you when you got your first Amiga?

    So how old were you when you got your first Amiga?

    I was trying to remember this and I think I had just left secondary school as I saved up that summer to get one, so I must have been 16/17. Quite late owning my first Amiga, although I had been a fan and using them for years at friends houses and in a store where you could rent time on them (a bit like an internet cafe today).

    Before that I has an Atari ST since I was about 14, and an Amstrad CPC before that from the age of about 8 or 9.

    Probably 17, don't know exactly. I got my C64 in 1983 and had it for some years, some years later I got the amiga. I surely had one when I was 18, because at that time I had a girlfriend, and she always liked to play Twintris on it, after playing with my stic......

    I'd say I was between 12-14 then. Too tough that one.

    I was 15. 100% sure, the money I got for my birthday/Confirmation that year was the last I needed to afford one.

    I sadly remember such a year saving up for an Amiga for the whole year (aged 13) and reaching Xmas and my birthday. My parents could only afford to give my £50 towards it and at that time the A500 was still £399 and I only had £250 So the worst thing happened. I bought an Atari ST instead!

    I bought my CPC when I was 16 (1986), Got the ST in 1988 And have worked out that I got the Amiga in 1990 (which means I was 19), which is a little sooner than I thought. Mind you, I was able to pay £50 a month rather than pay it all off in one lump sum.

    Bought an A500Plus when I was 18.
    Hadn't been working that long.
    Dad couldn't understand why I was wasting my money on it.
