A college kid up my street when I was in high school had a Amiga 500, 1000 then a 2000 who I'd go visit when he was home from school. I had a C64 and he showed me the BBS world so I ran a phone line using old attic TV antenna wire after buying at 300 baud modem.

Love it! I need to find the full video. Alas I only had an A500 but got into fractal art for sure. Today you can still soak up hundreds of hours with a fractal render, especially if it's 3D... (Ship in this one painted in GIMP)

Remember the TV series Babylon 5? Seasons 1-3 utilized inexpensive Commodore Amiga 2000 computers for 3D modeling, rendering, scene manipulation, and alien character creation and animation. Only Amiga makes it possible!

A little know fact is, the Tanner family (TV series ALF) owned a Commodore Amiga 500. Later on they upgraded it to an Amiga 2000. I wonder what online shopping service Willy was using?

Official Babylon 5 episodes on YouTube every week (link in comments). Why is this significant to Commodore fans? (You might want to bookmark this) The Amiga 2000's Role in Babylon 5's Special Effects (read the full article: In the annals of television history, few shows leveraged technology as innovatively as Babylon 5. The series, which aired from 1993 to 1998, was groundbreaking not only for its storytelling but also for its pioneering use of computer-generated imagery (CGI). A key component in this visual revolution was the often-overlooked Commodore Amiga 2000. The Babylon 5 Amiga 2000 Setup Explained • Hardware: The Amiga 2000 was a major upgrade from earlier Amiga models, with an open architecture that allowed extensive hardware enhancements. It was powered by the Motorola 68000-series CPU, with options for further upgrades. • Video Toaster: This video effects card, designed specifically for the Commodore Amiga, included a genlock for broadcast-quality video synchronization, a framebuffer for real-time effects, and LightWave 3D software for 3D modelling and animation. • Networked Computing: Foundation Imaging, the special effects house for Babylon 5, networked 24 Commodore Amiga 2000s to form a render farm. This setup enabled parallel processing of CGI frames, dramatically speeding up the rendering process. Did you watch it? Are you going to watch it? Check out this making of Babylon 5 video too where they show the Amiga 2000 in operation!

Homebrew Amiga games, released or in development, to celebrate International Amiga Day and show that it's still going strong. May 31 was chosen to honor the birthday of Jay Miner, father of the legendary Commodore Amiga computer. These modern homebrew projects unlock the full potential of the machine by focusing on the Amiga hardware only, instead of coding in a more generic way to easier the release in others systems, and also by catering for a more diverse range of hw configurations.

Did you know the futuristic underwater effects in the 1993–96 sci-fi series SeaQuest DSV were mostly created on… Commodore Amiga 2000? Yes, really! While Hollywood movies were spending hundreds of thousands on Silicon Graphics workstations, the seaQuest VFX team (Amblin Imaging) used a fleet of souped-up Amiga 2000s with Video Toaster, LightWAVE 3D, and 68040 accelerator cards. These machines cost a fraction of an SGI Crimson or Indigo² (which easily ran $50k–$100k+ each in the early ’90s). The Amiga rendered all the CGI submarines, sea creatures, holographic displays, and that amazing opening title sequence you still remember. Proof that in the right hands, affordable tools can create television magic. Only Amiga Makes It Possible!

WRONG WAY DRIVER for the Commodore Amiga was coded in C++20 as a test project (by Pink^Abyss) to see if it would work on the Amiga 500 (it did). Looks and feels like a modern indie mini-game and is quite polished, featuring neat music and stylish art. #AmigaReposts #gamedev

Jay Miner, Father of the Amiga, on how it all began. “Well it was 1982… a friend from Atari came to me and said, ‘Hey Jay, let’s start a new company. I’m tired of this one.’ I said ‘Fine. I’ll do the chips — and I’ll be vice president… as long as I can do the chips MY way.’ My original vision? A low-cost entry into computers… through video games. Games were hot, investors just wanted a console. But I wanted something that could grow into a REAL computer.” Then Dave Morse (ex-Tonka Toys VP) showed up, we set up shop on Scott Blvd, started as “Hi-Toro”… and later became Amiga Corporation. Jay Miner was the Father of Amiga, which would become Commodore Amiga after the company was purchased by Commodore in 1984. What followed was Amiga 1000, 500, 2000, 600, 1200, 3000,4000 and a few other models.

Gunship 2000 was originally developed and released by MicroProse for PC (MS-DOS) in 1991. It's a classic helicopter combat simulation, with later ports available for Amiga, PlayStation and PC-98. Highly regarded in the DOS and Amiga gaming communities, it's the official sequel to the original Gunship (1986).

Did you know the iconic seaQuest DSV intro was powered by Commodore Amiga? Back in 1993, when CGI was still in its infancy and insanely expensive, Amblin Imaging (Steven Spielberg’s effects house) chose a revolutionary low-cost solution: a render farm of Commodore Amiga 2000 computers running NewTek LightWave 3D and the Video Toaster. All those stunning external shots of the massive seaQuest submarine gliding through the ocean depths? Rendered on Amigas. The show only used about 1.5 minutes of CGI per episode, but it looked groundbreaking for television at the time. They networked dozens of Amigas together to handle the complex underwater visuals — a setup that helped make high-quality 3D effects accessible beyond big Hollywood budgets. This was the same Amiga + LightWave combo that famously powered early seasons of Babylon 5 and other 90s sci-fi hits. The Video Toaster even won an Emmy for Technical Achievement in 1993! The future of TV VFX was built on a machine many still call the greatest home computer ever made. Commodore Amiga — changing the game from your desktop. 🖥️✨ONLY AMIGA MAKES IT POSSIBLE!

What a time to be alive! ⚽ It’s 1989. You slap Kick Off by Anco into your Commodore Amiga , the disk drive whirrs, and BOOM — pure football heaven hits the screen. No sticky-ball arcade rubbish. Just real physics, lightning pace, pixel-perfect passing and awesome matches with your mates. Dino Dini made a winner here. One match and you were hooked for hours. This wasn’t just a footy game — it was THE Amiga football king for years. The best football/soccer game on the Amiga?
