Gamewise? Would go with Commodore 64.

Although the Amiga shared alot of games.

@punchy71: Back then everybody said the Amiga. And that hasn't changed.

I prefer Atari ST, because Atari is my chilhood, but Amiga is little bit better and has more games.

Although I liked Atari's GEM more than Commodore's Workbench, I liked the Amiga hardware better. It took Workbench 2.0 before I stopped looking at GEM.

The audio guys seemed to gravitate towards the Atari ST while the desktop video (early term for computer video-editing) guys chose the Amiga.
