A personal retrospective celebrating memorable pixel art from the Amiga demo scene, spanning 1991 to 2025. The author walks through a curated selection of standout works, discussing the technical constraints of Amiga graphics modes (OCS, EHB, AGA), the artists behind them, and the specific techniques — dithering, anti-aliasing, careful palette use — that made each piece remarkable. The piece also reflects on how CRT displays were integral to the intended viewing experience of this art, drawing a parallel to how physical oil paintings lose something when reproduced digitally.
