Exploring the Artistic Legacy of the Commodore Amiga

The Commodore Amiga, launched in 1985, revolutionized the world of personal computing with its unmatched graphics capabilities, thanks to its sophisticated custom chips. This site is a tribute to the vibrant graphics created with or for the Amiga, showcasing a rich history of digital art. The site features various sections dedicated to applications, artists, games, logos, publications, sceners, and specials, each highlighting different aspects of the Amiga's influence.

## Recent Updates

Recent updates include a batch of Amiga Magazin images from July 1988, now in MP4 format to accommodate longer loops. A collection of early images by Island Graphics from the Amiga's inception has also been added, along with new works from the renowned old-school scener Facet, whose recent activity has been noteworthy. Additionally, a collection of early high-resolution images by Robert J. Spirko, many of which were featured in the German Amiga Jahrbuch 1987, has been included.

The site also features a variety of images from art contests published in magazines, primarily from the German Amiga Magazin. The challenge of finding original files from the 80s is noted, as magazines seldom distributed submissions during that era. However, the 90s saw improvements with the advent of cover disks and CDs, although the nature of submissions shifted towards 3D renderings and photo collages, moving away from handcrafted pixel art.
