There were a few things I held onto, however. (And a few things I actually paid for, which I'll show later.) However, one of the free donations I received was this incredible original Commodore Amiga dealer poster - an image I don't think I'd ever seen before. This used to hang in an actual brick and mortar shop in Oregon in the mid-to-late 80s presumably until the day the store ultimately closed in the early 90s.
- Notice how the Amiga's monitor seems to display a monochrome spreadsheet of data, which the Amiga could easily provide. But then that splash...
- Early on Commodore's marketing put a focus on the creative capabilities of Amiga. Rightfully so.
- This poster was professionally attached to a very thick backing in the 80s. Suitable for framing, although I imagine this was simply stuck to a wall as-is.
- Love that joke up at the top. And that's an original game shop poster for Infocom's "Trinity" game below as well. I have a couple original Infocom promotional posters. I love artifacts like these. The Depeche Mode fan was something I was actually handed at the entrance gates while attending the "Violator" concert in Texas in 1990. And yes, I needed and used it at the time. Glad I've held onto it after all these years. It's a fun pun, too!
