Quiz: Amiga graphic or brand-new art?

Remember this? Then this quiz is for you.

Battle Chess by Interplay/The Amiga Graphics Archive

Remember this? Then this quiz is for you.

Children of the 1980s will remember Battle Chess, that retro game that brought chess pieces to life.

Swedish artist Junkboy likes vintage games, too … so much so that he’s created contemporary art that’s almost impossible to distinguish from the real thing. Scroll through these artworks and see if you can tell which is which; we’ll let you know how well you did at the very end.

So we’ve come to the end. Think this street battle looks old-school? It’s not. It’s by Junkboy … and it’s his homage to the John Carpenter film They Live.

Before you learn how you did, we’d like to thank Junkboy for graciously allowing us to use his images, and the Amiga Graphics Archive for its help in finding terrific screen grabs from real, vintage Amiga games.

So!

How well did you do?
