If you are at all familiar with the retro scene chances are fairly good you’ve come across Retro Fusion Books. Many of you will be familiar with Chris Wilkin’s popular “In Pixels” series of books (I have a few). Robert Łapiński at Pixel is heading a Kickstarter-like project for a Polish translation of the popular book, The Story of The Commodore Amiga in Pixels. This model was requested as a stretch goal reward and as a result this model is currently not available as a free download on my site. **To receive a copy of this design you will need to take part in the Polish campaign.
Amiga Cartoon Classics was exclusive to Europe.
OMG so much text and imagery to recreate. Slow and steady… I am pretty happy with how this turned out.
I currently work as a package designer so naturally I am as interested in the actual packaging of retro systems as I am in the industrial form factors. In the case of Cartoon Classics, it is much more colourful than any other papercraft else I have ever created.
New to this model is the addition of the A520 composite adapter and the power brick.
The packed is photographed with the enhanced Amiga 500 as it was sometimes included in the UK bundle.
Everything fits in the box!
This model also contains all the interior packaging to hold all the contents of the bundle. Once your are done playing with your tiny retro computer everything can be tucked away neatly in this tiny box.
The ultra mega-hit that took the Amiga community by storm, Captain Planet.
I rented Bart vs. the Space Mutants for the NES when I was a kid.
Here are the tiny game boxes.
The inclusion of these little boxes and diskettes helps to complete the illusion a tiny computer on your desk.
Special Polish add-ons are included in the papercraft which include a mini Historia Amigi Pixel Po Pixelu and other Pixel publications.
To help round out the project, I have included a number of Polish exclusive materials including the forthcoming “Historia Amigi Pixel Po Piexlu” and a few Pixel publications.
Robert at Pixel suggested that I include a couple of Polish developed games, namely Franko and Teenagent. I was not familiar with either but I am glad I got to know them. Franko especially appeals to my high school sense of humor. I plan on trying this game out for myself.
Two Polish developed games were special-requested and I am so glad they were suggested. They both appear to be excellent games “in their own unique way”.
Franko needs a 2021 HD remaster if any ever has.
I watched a great deal of playthru footage of this one too.
I hope you enjoyed the tour of my latest papercraft and if you are one of my Polish-speaking fans, I would strongly consider you check out the Amiga book campaign. The Chris Wilkins books at Retro Fusion Books are excellent and there are loads of stretch bonuses that have already been achieved so you can expect a pretty handsome package if you order!
Special thanks to Robert at Pixel, Chris at Retro Fusion Books, and everyone involved in this project.
