It was the Commodore Amiga 1000 short-Amiga.
In an era in which the term microcomputer was tied with the IBM PC compatibles with text display and a miniature integrated speaker, the Amiga offered blinding color graphics and stereo sound.
Its intuitive user interface looked like McIntosh's but offerd an advanced option called "multitasking".
The machine was a hit, especially when one takes into account that it came from a company previously known for "worn" home computers such as the VIC - 20 and Commodore 64.
Over the next nine years Commodore sold millions of Amiga. People who liked this system loved him to frenzy and its graphics capabilities were so powerful that he became the first personal computer widely used in TV and film studios.
However, none of this was enough to prevent the collapse of the company Commodore which in 1994 declared bankruptcy.
Amiga was one of the greatest computers ever made, an icon among computers that marked the most important epoch in the development of personal computers.
You can also see in this video how the games looked like on the Amiga
When the Amiga was born, home users and company employees were still trying to figure out what computers are and why anyone would want to deal with them. But you didn't need to spend much time with the Amiga to understand why it was so cool - it was enough to experience what it can do.

By the way, you have the pic of an Amiga 500 on your post, the Amiga 1000 looked like this
Thanks for the correction, I changed the picture. :)
I had Amiga 500 and 1200. The latter got lots of expansions added. They were a lot of fun and it's sad that the brand died.
I had the original Amiga then I upgraded. I thought it was called the 2000. I remember that I bought a ten megabyte hard drive for it. Cost 2400$..
I really liked that computer. I had long distance dial up to the next state to get on a Bulletin Board system (FidoNet)...it was my introduction to "online'...
I was on FidoNet too. Had a lot of fun with that. I later ran a Mac emulator on the 1200 to use Compuserve (yuck!) and later got onto a proper ISP. The Amiga did have some web browsers, but primitive by current standards.
Eventually the 1200 has a 68040 processor and 32MB of RAM (I think). I sold it many years ago, but wish I'd kept it
I wish I still had mine too.
One of my first computers, had loads of fun with it. Wot, no Dark Castle? ;)
