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 the next batch of Amiga Magazin images. This time from the color cycling contests in July 1988.

I switched the format for images with color cycling or animations in CRT mode to MP4, because some of the loops were getting too long and using animated WEBP files wasn't practical anymore.

Added a collection of images by Island Graphics from the very beginning of the Amiga.

15. 10. 2023

Added some brilliant new images from oldschool scener Facet, who has been quite active again in the last couple of years.

I also changed the ordering for sceners, so that the images will now be shown from new to old.

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.
