Hi everyone,

While browsing the Lemon Amiga Forum, I stumbled upon a fantastic picture by Toni Bratincevic. It’s called 16-bit Memories and it takes me back to the good, old days.

Mr. Bratincevic writes the following about his picture on his website:

Childhood, Christmas time, friends, family, joy, happiness … and, a new toy on my desk. Toy that will define my life, responsible for such a beautiful experiences from my childhood. Kids imaginary world, lost over time, a glimpse of it left in my head, a glimpse of priceless memory. But, it wouldn’t be such a great experience if it wasn’t for my friends… do you guys remember how we spent hours playing games, competing and exploring these new digital frontiers?

I must admit I had Atari ST not Amiga ;), but my friend had Amiga and it had way better graphics and sound than my ST. So that’s the reason why I decided to model Amiga for this illustration, out of respect. 🙂

First version of image was made as a cover for Immortal 4 compilation of music remixes from http://www.maz-sound.com/Immortal/

A picture says more than a thousand words. Without further ado, here’s the masterpiece from Mr. Bratincevic. Enjoy!

Isn’t that great? Look at that neat Amiga 500, the Back to the Future poster, the small characters from Cannon Fodder (excellent game by the way!).. The weather outside, a bit snowy and dark.. Perfect atmosphere for computing. 🙂 There’s so much cool stuff in this picture, that it has quickly become one my favourites. 🙂

Now, who is going to use this picture as a wallpaper? 😉
