The five pieces of the island that can be seen in-game line up perfectly. There also are some unused assets for the shores that complete the image into a seamless map.

Aside from the logo, which I think I just upscaled from an icon (which is why it looks so blocky), I drew this in DPaint on an Amiga back in the 1990s. I was quite proud of how it came out given I have very little artistic talent, although I wish I'd redrawn the logo.

Here’s an awesome, unique and historic piece of pixel art. Don Joyce, the host of the radio show Over The Edge from San Francisco’s community radio station KPFA and a member of the culture-jamming art and music collective Negativland made this piece of art way back in 1985. This piece presumably depicts either himself as an alien running the radio show, or an alien as a fan taping and calling in to the show.

This piece is also unique in that it appears as though it had to be printed in multiple segments and combined together to create the full image that you see here. This is a photograph of the printed piece.

Over The Edge is a live improvised audio collage program performed by the surviving members of Negativland each week on KPFA, and it still airs to this day. Don joyce passed away a few years ago. You can listen live and check out the show’s archives at https://kpfa.org/program/over-the-edge/ and you can learn about Negativland at negativland.com

Here is a super impressive piece of early pixel art - it’s ‘4 Byte Burger’, by Jack Haege. This image was printed in the September 1985 issue of Amiga World magazine. In order to reproduce the image in the magazine it had to be photographed from a computer monitor. The image was actually displayed sideways, and then the photograph was rotated for printing in the magazine; hence why the scan lines are vertical instead of horizontal.

In 1985, Commodore International hired several top-notch artists to create artwork using their new Amiga personal computer. Much of that artwork was printed in their magazine, Amiga World.
