🎉 41 years ago today — July 23, 1985 — Commodore launched the Amiga 1000 at Lincoln Center in New York City and completely changed personal computing. Restored and presented in 1080p HD

In front of a star-studded audience, Andy Warhol live-painted Debbie Harry (Blondie) on stage using the Amiga, proving this machine was something special.

This wasn’t just another computer — it was the birth of multimedia computing.

✅ True preemptive multitasking
✅ Up to 4096 colors & advanced custom graphics chips
✅ 4-channel stereo sampled sound
✅ Years ahead of Apple, IBM, and Atari

The Amiga 1000 brought professional-level graphics, sound, and creativity into people’s homes for the first time.

I really hope Sony will continue to allow smaller game publishers to put out physical media. Between that news and the PS3/Vita stores finally shutting down…not a great day for PlayStation fans today. 😢

One of the most stunning games on the Commodore 64, The Last Ninja.

Hugh Riley created stunning background graphics, and Ben Daglish composed beautiful SID music.
