Is it possible to create a music video on a computer from 1987? 📺 💾

I’ve always been fascinated by old computers. I grew up in the ’80s and ’90s, when there were home computers from companies like Commodore or Atari, mainly used by kids like me to play games or to explore them in a creative way. Today, I collect some of these machines and keep them in my studio alongside my instruments. So it felt only natural to eventually use one of them for a creative project.

For this video, I chose the Commodore Amiga - first released exactly 40 years ago, in the summer of 1985. At the time, it had mind-blowing graphics and sound, years ahead of the Apple Macintosh or the IBM PC. While those still had 16-color or even only monochrome graphics, the Amiga could display near-photorealistic images with its 4096-color palette. It was arguably the first computer that was widely used as a tool to create art, animations and even CGI for TV shows like Babylon 5.

To create this video was so much more complicated than creating a video on a modern computer. I even had to write my own video editor first. But finally the result is ready.

It was probably the least efficient way possible to make a video. But it was such joy at times - it reminded me of how it felt to create things as a kid, before anything had to make practical sense and when one did it just for the fun of it and out of pure curiosity of what might be possible.

Anyone heard of an Amiga game called “The Adventures Of Quik & Silva”? For some reason it uses copyrighted characters as enemies. I was compelled to draw this scenario, and if there was a fanmade sequel, I’d imagine it’s about the titular characters outrunning the law because of copyright infringement. 🤖 👨‍⚖️ 🕹️

Oh, and here’s a little fun fact for you. The release date of Quik & Silva actually predates the US release of the first Sonic the Hedgehog! It’s likely the developers saw promotional art or demos of Sonic 1 and were fully aware of him at this point. This game was developed in 2 weeks after all.

retro gaming 3 - Fire and Ice

another little gem i played on my Amiga 500 as a kid!

Fire and Ice from 1993 is a neat platformer with lovely graphics. as a kid, i always adored the world graphic below the main screen <3

you play as Cool Coyote, beginning in the ice world, going through what seems to be Scottish highlands, the obligational underwater level and, of course, a jungle level. i actually can't quite remember why he even has you go that journey, but that's what many old games were, just do stuff for the sake of it.

also had a nice soundtrack, though this isn't one i listen to outside of the game, but it sure brings back memories and for some reason i like underwater level music XD. check out this neat playlist:

I have the opportunity to rescue my father’s Commodore Amiga-500. It hasn’t been been started up or run for 30-ish years. If you know about it or how to run it/troubleshooting, I’d be very grateful for it!
