Awesome! You can also find great art made with Deluxe Paint for the Amiga. The limitations from early computers in resolution and, most importantly, palette, create unique art styles: https://amiga.lychesis.net/applications/DeluxePaint.html https://amiga.lychesis.net/applications/DeluxePaint.html

These seem worse IMO. Not sure if it’s the medium (eg more saturated colours, the particular website) or if I just like the compositions less.

  They have more color but way less resolution, thus less detail. Pretty much what you would expect to see, given that the original Mac and Amiga came out around the same time.

    Both Motorola 68000 machines, typically 512K-1024K of RAM. So similar underlying constraints, under which they made very different choices for how to prioritize graphics.

    Weird there were no hires images. Amiga's horizontal hires resolution was >720 pixels. Of course, in order to get square pixels, you needed to enable interlace as well.

  The usual case of looking at pictures what was made on and for a CRT monitor (or even TV). You can try Screenitron to imitate something like this. https://littlebattlebits.xyz/screenitron https://littlebattlebits.xyz/screenitron

Using colour cycling to achieve animation-like effects is so hot.

The colour palette of Amiga is really appealing to me. I used to love watching game screenshots printed in games magazines available in my country. That's how I fell in love with Monkey Island and Flashback
