The Amiga (as shown in the photo opposite, the very first AMIGA, the A1000) was the most
popular machine from about 1986 until 1994 and still is very popular in the scene
Tristar and Red Sector Inc. earned lots of its reputation during these years.
Most of the Demos/Intros and stuff You'll find in the archive were done on this incredible machine.
