Long time PC gamer here. I didn’t own an Amiga so I definitely have another POV.

1994?! Every single PC gaming store was flooded with PC CD demos.

Day of the Tentacle. Loom. Monkey Island. Rebel Assault. Myst. 7th Guest.

Every “AAA” release at the time was getting a “talkie” version with added FMV or cd audio.

Plus Doom, and then Doom 2.

I actually think the 93-96 period is basically the most hype I’ve ever seen the PC market, ever.

I’m sure Amiga had a lot of cool stuff still. The demo scene, the various Psygnosis games. But I never got on my radar beyond “this doesn’t need config.sys and it has more colors”.
