I was a huge AMIGA fan back in the day and I still have a big spot for it! A great choice no question!!!!!

Easy for me, grew up with a 2600/intelvision, and did the standards after that, loved um all. But my Vic 20, C-64and atari 400 really stood out as the games where so much more in depth. Then i got my Amiga (i wanted and APPLE IIGS, but it was like $2500, the amiga was $500) and dont remeber ever being happier game wise. Now I do know the games dont hold up quite as well as I would hope. I sold my Amiga 500 a long time ago (sadly about the only system I ever did sell) so have only used emulation. many of the games i rember as being so wonderfull fall a bit flat nowdays. But the real classics on it still hold up very well. matt has done Matts Chats on several of them. populous, powermonger, Syndicate (strange all bullfrog games) all are very addictive still. WALKER a Psygnosis game that came about teh time i finally had moved to PC still facinates me, maybe more for the "giant walking robot" then the gameplay, but I love the game. WINGS, also a all time favorite, while still fairly fun, is very dated, I sure dont remeber the AMIGA playing it so slow, but man is it ever (new games do spoil you... cant believe how 30FPS is considers slow nowdays). TV sports Football (still fun). And all the RPG's... I love RPG's and played um all. Eye of beholders, Dungeon master, bards Tale, Black Crypt, etc.. that old Amiga just had it all... and so many original games, Cannon Fodder, Lemmings, Corperation (IMHO the first 3D FPS, long beforethe others). Turrican, GODS, man i could go on an on...
Consoles.. i think it would be the genisis.. but if its only one.. the AMIGA for me.
