Happy Birthday Amiga!

The Amiga celebrates its 25th birthday




Amiga LogoAccording to Engadget, today is the 25th anniversary of the Amiga computer. I was a HUGE Amiga user back in the day. It's responsible for my entry into video game development -- I played all the LucasArts games on the Amiga, and used my skills with the Amiga to eventually get a job at LucasArts as a technical artist. I also was a team member on Deluxe Paint V, and even did the box cover for it!

Here's my two remaining Amiga computers, gathering dust in a corner of the Monolux compound:

Happy Birthday Amiga!

That's an Amiga 3000, upside down and backwards, in the middle. Below it is the Amiga 4000, and some Amiga keyboards at the very top.

Incidentally, The Oreo cookies to the Amiga's cream in the photo are two ReplayTV DVRs, which I the product designer for. Some of the graphics and Color Look Up Tables for ReplayTV were built using the Amiga, but eventually I transitioned off of Deluxe Paint and onto Photoshop.

Ah, good times. Congrats to the Amiga team in creating something that changed a lot of lives, including mine.
