Commodore Amiga: A Visual Commpendium
by Sam DyerJust received Bitmap Books’ tome of Amiga pixel art goodness. The Commpendium (pun intended) puts visuals front and center with beautiful imagery that Amiga’s always been undisputed champion of (for its time, and in terms of pixel art, still up there).
The book is the result of Sam’s second Kickstarter (the first one being about the C64, and the third one, with a campaign launching Friday, about the ZX). I’m glad I backed it since the thing can hardly be more than I was looking for. Even though I never had an Amiga, I’ve always admired its screenshots in 80s computer magazines. Now that I’m so involved in pixel art, this is an invaluable reference of great artistry.
Either you’d want it for the pixels or for the memories (in that case, I envy you), you can pick your copy (in digital or material variants) at:
