Launched in 1985 the Commodore Amiga boasted graphics capabilities that were unsurpassed for it's time.
It featured an intricate collection of custom chips that enabled it to do things that, until then, had been impossible to achieve with other personal computers.
This site is dedicated to graphics made with or for the Commodore Amiga home computer.
Added a great collection of early hi-res images from Robert J. Spirko. A lot of these were printed in the german Amiga Jahrbuch 1987.
Added a whole bunch of images that were printed in various magazines as part of art contests - mostly from german Amiga Magazin.
Finding original files isn't easy, since magazines rarely distributed the submissions during the 80ies.
This got better during the 90ies, when coverdisks and cdroms were more common, but sadly by that time a lot of submissions consisted of 3D renderings and photo collages, instead of hand crafted pixel art.
Added a bunch of beautiful landscape paintings by Walter Bergmann. He also got his art printed in an art contest by german Amiga Magazin
Added a couple of impressive images from Mike Crossmire alias MGC from the very early Amiga years.
Added graphics from the game Warhead, which uses its limited palette to great effect to create metallic surfaces and structures.
Added graphics from the game Crazy Cars 2 which features really nicely pixeled in-game sprites of the Ferrari F40 and Ford police car.
Added a big collection of very early artworks created by artists of the french design school Brassart in 1986.
Here's a big update with early art from Finnish artist Heikki Luhtala, EHB art from Eddey and more images from Swiss artist Orlando Petermann.
Another scene update with lots of recently released images from Archmage, Facet, FadeOne and Prowler. Nice to see these artists revisiting their roots.
Updated the scene category, fixing lots of images, adding more palettes and new images, especially from Made, DAS and Fairfax. Also fixed a couple of bugs.
Added a whole packet of great images from one of the early European Amiga artists, Orlando Petermann.
I recently stumbled across dumps of official Psygnosis backup disks and this is the first batch of files I was able to add to the already existing Aquaventura section, including all rendered sequences taken directly from the game.
The WIP sequence for the title art gives an especially fascinating insight into how this images was created.
Added more awesome images from Ian Harling, with images from his canceled game Flag coming directly from the artist himself.
I'm also for the first time adding images that are not in their perfect uncompressed form, because I think they're too cool to omit just because of some compression artifacts. Here I added an image from the game Flag to Ian's overview section.
After a much too long delay I added two fighting games to the site: Karate Kid 2 and Master Axe. I'll be adding more games from that genre, but with the amount of detail that these types of games cram into their backgrounds it can become quite a big task to grab everything.
Added some wonderfull images from Sharon Long. Magazine appearances suggest these must have been created around 1988.
I also have a couple of broken files in this collection which I didn't upload, but chances are slim that I'll be able to find intact versions.
