We've seen the influence that digital artwork can have on culture, and Randelshofer takes a historical approach to his archive by reaching out to the original artists for comments on their animations. In some cases, the artists offer interesting insight on what tricks they used to get the most out of the 8 and 16-bit computer systems of the time. The aforementioned SAM Coupé, for example, was able to produce graphics very similar to its 16-bit competitors using some clever programming. The GIFs here were kindly converted by Prosthetic Knowledge, but the downloadable "IFF ANIM" files (with sound) are available at Randelshofer's site.
