Here's one from my whole family. We got an Amiga 500 back in the late 80's, it's all setup with word processing and spreadsheets working fine, the games were incredibly hard though. Most games had these dark patches where there were hidden pieces of floor, except sometimes they'd disappear and you would die, so for these games you had to memorize exactly where all the floor was. For some games it was mostly fine, for others it made them almost impossible. I was only 5 or 6 and it was the only games machine I'd ever played. Fast forward a few years and the computer is no longer an expensive investment, or threat to children, or whatever it is that made my parents have it in their bedroom, so we moved it. As I picked up the monitor I accidentally pressed a button on the back the toggled the graphics mode and when the machine turned on I could suddenly see all my games in full color. In retrospect it affected many other things too. The only saving grace during that period was that so many games were ports from the speccy or commodore 64 with a limited color pallet.
