I feel the same way. I grew up on the Amiga, getting an Amiga 500 when I was an early teen. I was blown away the first time I saw Shadow of the Beast. Totally amazing...

I had upgraded from an Apple II. It was like night and day. A local BBSer convinced me I should get an Amiga instead of a Mac Plus, and the rest was history...

I remember being in awe just at the parallax scrolling on Shadow of the Beast on a friend's Amiga. At home we still just had a lowly C64.

I remember seeing that for the first time: I think it might have been in John Menzies. I'd never seen anything like it before, certainly not from a home computer. Totally blown away.
