I was a teenager in that time. Sega Genesis and Nintendo were for kids, we played on Amiga 500 and 486 PC. I didn't get into consoles until PS1 with Final Fantasy 7. There was no rivalry between Amiga and PC back then as far as I can remember. My childhood was spend on MSX.

Amigas were for geeks who didn't know how to use a joypad.

I convinced my nextdoor neighbour to get a MegaDrive because I already owned a SNES. He still hasn't forgiven me.

Apart from blood in Mortal Kombat there wasn't any console wars, the battle was between geeks and the cool kids.

Amigas and PCs were the preferred choice for the ease of pirating games. Copy parties were rampant, only losers bought games. A stack of 3.25" floppy disks was all you needed. It's still a mystery to me where all those games came from. I didn't start buying games until after high school.
