And here, after a proper 24 hours dagaussing, is XboxAhoy's recreation of Jack Haeger's "Four-Byte Burger" on my Amiga 1000 w/ 1080 display, properly rotated.

XboxAhoy's recreation of Jack Haeger's lovely "Four-Byte Burger," referenced in my earlier toot, displayed in phosphor glory on my Amiga 1000 and its 1080 CRT. (XboxAhoy linked the IFF in the post to his sub - r/XboxAhoy - on reddit).

Obviously that old 1080 doesn't like to lie on its side! Eek!

So very lovely!

My recent toot about the iconic lost Amiga work of pixelart from 1985, Jack Haeger's "Four-Byte Burger," received by far more reactions than any of my others.

YouTuber "Ahoy" has just posted a video in which he sleuths rather deeply and manages to recreate this wonderful piece, pixel by pixel, with apparently great accuracy.

It's an incredible process not to be missed!
