Picture collection: Update of the Amiga Graphics Archive
The "Amiga Graphics Archive" is dedicated to all kinds of pixel graphics created with the Commodore Amiga between 1985 and 1995 (amiga-news.de reported).
In this January update, some level graphics were added for the game StarRay and, for comparison, the graphics of the Atari ST version, as these are better than the Amiga version despite the technical disadvantages.

In a 14-minute video, the Youtuber "Modern Vintage Gamer" takes a close look at the Amiga classic "Shadow of The Beast" and explains, among other things, how the up to 13 independently scrolling levels or the sometimes over 120 colours on the screen come about - but also why the title sometimes comes across as a bit monotonous in terms of gameplay due to the many technical gimmicks that push the hardware to the limit.
