Large (2000x18000) version of the Amiga Game Montage

A huge montage of the artwork from about 900 Amiga game boxes.
Each scan is scaled to fit in a 200x200 pixel area.
The image is about 2000x18000 pixels in size and will require
virtual memory or a program like ImageFX to view on low
memory or AGA amigas. The JPG is saved with 85%
quality, and requires ~110 Meg of memory for
the raw 24bit data.

The picture is a perfect visual history of Amiga gaming
and displays titles from 1986-1996.

It was created on an a1200/030 with 10 meg of ram and 1gig of
virtual memory using the latest version of the great
image manipulation software ImageMagick.
(Running under AmigaOS ofcourse)

The images were scaled from hires versions which can be found
on the gallery section of my ExoticA website.

http://exotica.amigascne.org (some problems with this server) and
http://hangar18.campus.luth.se/exotica

On the website each scan is thumbnailed and also contains
the complete author information for the game including
cover artist. Links to the music for many of the games are also
included.

I have recently seen a few icon collections appearing
for games. If there is interest I could quite easily create
newicons from each image with a small amount of scripting.

There has been 1 previous icon set on Aminet which has icons
based on the images from ExoticA. It would have been nice
if the person had asked before doing it. After all,
it has taken 1.5 years of hard work to scan the images and gather
all the information.

Anyway, the most important thing is that you enjoy the pics.
