Der 1985 auf den Markt gebrachte Amiga läutete ein neues Zeitalter der Heimcomputer ein. Seine leistungsstarke 16-Bit-Motorola-CPU und seine speziellen Grafik- und Audio-Chipsätze machten ihn zu einem sofortigen Hit sowohl unter Spielern, die ihre 8-Bit-Systeme hinter sich lassen wollten, als auch unter Künstlern und Musikern, die in die digitale Welt einsteigen wollten.

Frühe Titel wie Defender of the Crown, Barbarian und Hybris demonstrierten die grafischen Qualitäten des Amiga, während Arcade-perfekte Konvertierungen von Marble Madness, Space Harrier und Rainbow Islands zeigten, dass der Amiga es mit der Leistung von dedizierten Automaten aufnehmen konnte. Im Laufe des nächsten Jahrzehnts sollte er eine außergewöhnliche Vielfalt an Titeln beherbergen; Spiele wie Rocket Ranger, Populous, Cannon Fodder, Speedball und Worms führten neue Genres ein und trugen dazu bei, die Videospiellandschaft neu zu definieren.

Auf rund 420 Seiten präsentiert Commodore Amiga: a visual compendium mehr als 140 der größten Titel und erweckt sie mit doppelseitigen Bildschirmfotos oder einer Ladeseite anschaulich zum Leben. Jedes Spiel wird von Zitaten und Kommentaren bekannter Amiga-Künstler, -Entwickler und -Publisher begleitet, darunter R.J. Mical, David Braben, Sid Meier, Ron Gilbert, Julian Eggebrecht, Tobias Richter, Dave Gibbons und viele mehr.

Neben den Spielen selbst geht es auch um die Ursprünge der Hardware und die lebendige Demoszene, und es enthält Interviews mit Künstlern und Profile der wichtigsten Spiele-Publisher. In gebundener Form und mit hochwertigem lithografischem Druck auf erstklassigem Papier präsentiert, ist dieses Buch eine wunderbare Feier der grafischen Fähigkeiten des Geräts und eine Erinnerung an die Fülle von Qualitätsspielen, die der Amiga hervorgebracht hat.

great mouse rest
Color: Golden Oak, Size: Mouse Wrist Rest
This works really well for for elevating your wrist, I use an apple trackpad it puts my wrist a little too high so what I did was put some rubber pads on the back of my trackpad to raise it up. It now gives the perfect height and good support I can even lean on it. It works well to the fact that it gives you very good support it's not uncomfortable and it's very easy to clean and looks very nice on my desk, because it's made out of real wood.

Great wrist rest. Smooth finish, good looks, and ideal wrist angle.
This wrist rest sets you up for pretty optimal, level height to prevent future wrist problems. I went with the nice reddish/brown color as it matches my brown wood Edifier speakers and other brown accessories very nicely. Nice matte finish that avoids showing finger prints and skin oils. The color is perfect, not too red or too brown. Keep in mind if your keyboard is angled in the front it will leave a bit of a gap, however it is unnoticeable to me. Also, make sure your arm rests of your chair can come high enough to meet the half inch or so thick wrist rest. My arm rests are a bit low for the time being so some extra pressure is put on my arm behind the wrist when resting on the chair supports.

Not for me
Color: Golden Oak, Size: Mouse Wrist Rest
It's tough to review something like this that functions perfectly, but just wasn't the right fit. The Glorious wrist rest for the keyboard is perfect and exactly what I wanted/needed, but the mouse rest caused hand and wrist pain. I swapped it out for a squishy alternative and that worked much better. I have a theory it might have been due to the relatively low height of my ektecity gaming mouse relative to the mouse rest. My keyboard is a higher height and that may be why the wood keyboard rest works so much better.

Neat and Square
Color: Black, Size: Square
This turned out to be durable and looks good on my valet table. The difference in the way it snaps to the sides, keeps the corners square and looks better than the other models that force the corners to extend outward.
